Just for fun, who made these cars, and what are they made of?
I'll give a couple of clues in a few days if no one gets it.

Hi Hugh,
Rubber indeed, but specifically which rubber? And not Auburn.

Hi all,
Not Barr or Empire if afraid.
A clue, these were made by a well known company. Just not well known for making toy cars!
And as for the rubber, it was more the source of it I was thinking of.

Yea Hey!
When I put this on I thought "Dave'll know this one" !
Yep made by Lilo, the inflatable beach bed company! Their logo put the letter L backwards / inverted so if you look carefully under the car you can see "07I7 Toys", and double yep, Nick & Tinman they made these from recycled car tyres when metal got short in the late 40's / early 50's.
These are the only colours I've ever seen, and the car looks a bit like a '38 US Ford to me, but it's pretty generic I think.
Cheers all
CW.
