Some toys are bought for birthdays and some are bought because a child has been good at the doctor's. This pull back supercar is the second kind: a bright, sharply styled plastic sports car about 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) long, about the size of a child's hand: big enough to feel like a proper car and cheap enough to say yes to.

It is built like a modern supercar, with a pointed nose, deep air intakes, a black-tinted cabin, a rear wing standing up behind the roof and black multi-spoke wheels. Racing lettering runs across the windscreen in white.

The motor is the classic pull back kind. Put the car on the floor, pull it backwards, let go, and it races forward under its own power. There is no battery, no remote and nothing to switch on, so it keeps working long after a battery toy would have gone quiet.

Pick your colour: yellow, green, purple, blue or red. Each car is sold on its own at Rs. 450, which is why our photos show a whole fleet; two or three colours make a race, and five make a set that children line up on the windowsill.

It is a good size for a goody bag, a reward chart prize or an add-on to a bigger order, and we suggest it from 3 years. The longest runs come on smooth tiles or marble, and a corridor makes a perfect drag strip.
