Just been sorting through some old stuff in my garage and came across this beauty, in great condition and still squeaks!
I know exactly what it is but do you?

Is it to do with tyres - the Goundhog?

 

[Nick B]

Correct, Dunlop Groundhog tyres from back in the '70s, they used the groundhog character in poster and TV advertising, the squeaky toy was given to kids who were with their dad at the tyre centre, there were also badges and stickers given out.
