I recently received the following email from Amy in the UK. It reads as follows:

In 1972 my husband had a ride on hp sauce bottle toy, no now knows where this toy went to, but this Christmas my husbands father and step mother gave him one as a present which they had brought from a car boot sale. The person they purchased it from used to collect advertising memorabilia and had never seen another example. My husband (39 years old now) was thrilled with it but a little miffed that he is too big to ride on it!

Amy is curious to know more about her husbands new toy and has requested our help in finding out more information. She’s graciously sent in more pictures in the hopes that they may help bring back some fond memories with some of our readers. They speculate that the HP Sauce Rider Toy dates from the late 1960’s or early 1970’s.

If you do come across any information about the ride on sauce bottle then I would be most interested to hear. In the meantime I think I will try a see if the company that made the thing still exist…
