Gonzo's Morgan car from Jim Henson's comedy TV series The Muppet Show. Gonzo's car appeared during the opening number of Season 5 Episode 7. Gonzo sang "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues" as he cleaned the vehicle before driving off. The car also appeared in Season 5 Episode 10 where the car featured the number plate "ZZXKL", which led Fozzie and Link to believe the car's name was "Zikskuhl".

The car is a small-scale pedal version of the Morgan Plus 8. It comprises a steel chassis with treadle-action drive to the rear axle; four wheels and a spare, with solid rubber tyres; a red fibreglass body; a black leather-lined seat; a clear plastic "aero" windscreen; a pair of functional headlights activated by a button by the steering wheel; an "LG10" number plate on the front bumper; and the loose "ZZXKL" number plate. Dimensions: 123 cm x 48 cm x 43 cm (48" x 19" x 17")

Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: £2,000 - 3,000 M
