I received these in a trade about $400. The Patty wagon seems like a vending cart. The rear opens like a shelf has a roll-out display card under that is a false floor for storing ice. It has forward and reverse. the Mercedes and the Jaguar both are a manual transmission 2 speed with reverse. Both have headlights brake lights working turn signals and a horn. any information would be appreciated

Patty wagon is a 7 horse tecumsah not running at the moment no spark motor has points. I pulled the motor haven't had time to look at it yet. Jaguar and Mercedes are both 2 and a half horsepower Honda engines. I got both of them running but the Jaguar pours oil out of the exhaust. I have another Honda 2.5 HP engine I picked up off of eBay not running, got it running last night will look into motor swap later today or tomorrow. For now I will most likely keep all three to restore

I'm looking forward to being able to drive the Jag. These frames seem very well made, they actually have front and rear suspension.

I have to dismantle the motor I have for the Jaguar runs great but the shaft diameter that's in it is too big and too long to work with the transmission. I'll pull the shaft from the old motor switch them out hopefully this weekend.

So it's called a jaguar junior. Any ideas on who made them and if any parts are available.

Some research yielded these take it or leave it results:
"Extremely rare Jaguar E-Type Junior Roadster , in British racing green.Serious collectors item, especially for Jaguar lovers. This amazing child's ride on car was built in tiny numbers by the Jaguar Factory in the early 1970's for select clients who had purchased a New E-Type road car, there is supposedly only a handful left in the world. Honda petrol engine,two forward gears and reverse."

Also seen another source claim the "car" is made in Germany. There was an electric version. I personally don't think they are a rare as people are claiming.

That's cool thank you for the input. Germany would make sense since most of the writing on the Jaguar and the Mercedes is written in German and polish.

I found out the paddy wagon is a 1979 gadabout pie truck. Made in Fort Lauderdale Florida, and only 200 were made. Street legal on streets up to 30 miles per hour.
