Little old wagon

I made this jolly little painted cardboard wagon twenty years ago. It was a summer 'homework' project before starting my graphic design degree - you wouldn't think to look at it, that I was in the throes of the loneliest, most miserable part of my life and waking up with tears on my cheeks.
With two decades since of hindsight, I might have been unconsciously wishing an escape vehicle to a happier place. But I did enjoy making it and it took my mind off Other Things. Under the bonnet...
...there is a rather unique full working engine.
It has become more battered over the years and I almost binned it in a studio tidy-up.
But I couldn't bear to. I'm glad I didn't, beaten up and wonky as it is.
