TIPPCO Tin Wind Up Silver Racer Side Car Motorcycle 7.5 Exclnt Cond With Box. From an established long time toy collection comes this magnificent 8 long tin clockwork wind up side car racing motorcycle made by Tippco of Western Germany in the early 1950's. TCO called the bike a Silver Racer. The toy is a true masterpiece of German ingenuity with the side hack rider swinging back and forth to counter act gravity as the bike turns left then right.

Just like the full size side car dare devil riders did. This stunning piece is exceptionally clean and in excellent condition with all parts intact.

It is in perfect working order as well. Icing on the cake is inclusion of the original factory box. The litho colors are all bright and vibrant. Only a few minor scuffs and scrapes show on the otherwise pristine finish. Litho finish on wheels is just beautiful with sidewall lettering and awesome tread pattern. Wear is almost non existent. Both riders wear colorful racing jerseys, helmets and goggles. A realistic looking racing roundel with #5 on it can be seen on front of motorcycle. The actions of the toy are just fantastic. The clockwork motor winds up easily with built in key on base of sidecar. On / off switch at rear of side car sets the toy in motion. It will race across the floor turning left and right. Side hack rider slides around depending on turn angle just as a real racer would do.

Everything works perfectly as it should. Colorful factory box is clean and complete. Three panels each show a different angle of the bike in action on the race track. Box shows moderate wear commiserate with age.

There are no rips, tears or repairs and no offending odors. This really is an incredibly detailed and unique toy. New owner will not be disappointed with this magnificent toy. Check out my other auctions for more great old tin toy cars, motorcycles and trucks!
