Do you have a young boy 8 years or older, then I feel sure he will enjoy either or both of these.

Possibly only if you win the lottery as they are £40,000 and £22,000 respectively plus £2000 delivery each.

Worth a punt on the Euro lottery this weekend. 100 million.

Oh, I forgot to mention, they are both in stock - despite quoting 3 weeks delivery.

We've bought our 13 year old a Suzuki SJ410, so he can drive (accompanied) around our fields.

Great fun to drive, amazing off-road, and easy to maintain - an excellent introduction to the world of motoring for a young petrol head!

Plus, at less than £500 for a good one, a bargain classic 4x4.

(I'm awaiting horrified posts condeming this!!!)

Ah, the SJ410. Don't see many around these days.
Quite fun but dreadful hard ride.

Good move, I learnt to drive on private property at age 13 in a number of vehicles - mainly a Morris 1000 traveller. By the time I reached 17 and legal motoring most of the urge to show off behind the wheel had been burnt off. Also maintaining the vehicle at my own expense (mostly) had soon taught me to drive properly (no slipping the clutch or wheel spinning for me - £10 for a new tyre was 4 weeks pocket money!)

OMG why on earth would you spend nearly 40K on that tesserossa. Why on earth would not a new perruda kelisa, with massivly greater abilities, do? you could buy about 8 kelisas for your child to trash for 40K
