Summary
This is a robust, cream coloured six wheeled toy car made largely of plastic designed for a small child to sit on and propel himself with his feet. It has a yellow steering wheel which is attatched to the axle of the front wheels so that the vehicle can be steered. In the middle of the steering wheel is a red knob which when pressed makes a noise. At the front of the vehicle is a clear plastic shield which covers a red plastic piece which has two depressions to take two 'Play People'. These two Play People were found in intact plastic bags in the body of the vehicle. The back of the toy can be folded down to make a flight of steps. The top of the vehicle has a depression coloured red where the child sits. On the sides of the body of the vehicle is a picture of a boy and a girl playing and the words 'Fisher-Price EXPLORER'. On the right side is the additional number 980 and a picture of the world. The toy comes in its original box which is highly coloured and has photographs printed on the top and sides that show how the toy can be used. Total number of items is two
