Mr Toad and Car Weathervane

We are currently reading Wind in the Willows to our four year old twins; it's a timeless story that has captured the hearts of multiple generations of children, so it's no surprise that Mr Toad and Wind in the Willows decor is popular more than 100 years after the story's original publication. The tale follows the likeable but reckless Mr Toad and his friends Mole and Ratty, as they navigate the chaotic Toad's obsession with fast cars. This weathervane features Mr Toad stood proudly next to a classic car, in this case a Morgan 3 wheeler. A wonderful gift for anyone who loves this popular childrens story! This design can be easily amended to feature any car of your choosing - check out our range of car weathervanes here. Black Fox Metalcraft also have the skill to create bespoke car-themed weathervanes from photographs of your vehicle - get in touch on the number at the top of the page to discuss your ideas.

Black Fox Metalcraft take the time to rust proof all of their weathervanes as standard, using a layer of zinc electroplate. This can increase the lifespan of metalwork by literally decades compared to a non electroplated version, so in our opinion it is essential. The powdercoat finish is baked on at 170 degrees, giving the weathervane a timeless, traditional appearance. The cardinal points can be professionally gilded using 23.5 carat gold leaf for a little extra sparkle. Our Mr Toad weathervane is available in multiple sizes, and with a variety of fixings it can fit any location.

For advice on choosing the most appropriate size of weathervane for your property and the location, have a look at the weathervanes installation page. For information regarding fixings, please read the fixings information page.
