Tammy was a fashion doll, Ideal Toy Co.’s competitor to Mattel’s Barbie. Barbie famously drove a Corvette, but apparently Tammy caught the British car bug back in 1962. While this model is not completely accurate in scale, you can see how it is intended to represent a Mark 1 MGB. It even mimics the factory press car — while the blue is much brighter than Iris Blue, it has the red interior, steel wheels and whitewalls. And true to Mk. 1 tradition, the steering wheel is broken in this example — no doubt from trying to cram the stiff-legged doll into the cockpit.</div><div><br></div><div>I just acquired this from a Morgan owner who had rescued it from a thrift shop, and presented it to me at a vintage car event.</div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:FB244C55-A1D9-40CF-B99C-548282554535" alt="IMG_9719 copy.jpeg"></div><br><div>
