In 1958 a small version of Noddy & His Car was developed. It included at first a small cast Noddy figure painted in his usual colours but later this was replaced by a painted plastic one. They both measured 52mm long.
The car body was cast as one piece to include headlights and spare wheel at the back. Two little pillars represented the screen. The wheels were metal and painted red with the base which included the front bumper.
All versions were pale yellow with silver trim on the grille and headlights, early models had the folded hood, spare tyre and rear bumper coloured red, later ones had a black hood and spare with silver trim on the bumper.
Two boxes were used, both bright red with coloured illustrations, the first marked 'Morestone Series' without a number, the second very similar but with 'No.331' added when Budgie Toys with numbers appeared in 1960. However, there was no mention of 'Budgie Toys' on the box and no number added to the model base.
This small version of Noddy's Car was withdrawn in 1961.
