The iconic Wiggles car, which will knock OG fans off their feet, is up for sale in Perth.
The 2006 Smart Fortwo was introduced to Facebook two days ago and has already garnered more than 10,000 clicks.
Owner Peter Tinby sells his baby car, inspired by the show, for $ 6,000 after it lasted just three months.
Mr Tinby bought it from a PR company that used it for advertising purposes, but said he no longer had room for it and wanted it to move to a new home.
Although it attracts about 1,000 interested buyers, he says he is selling it at the same price he bought it earlier this year.
“I’m not an opportunist,” joked Mr. Tinby, adding that he wanted it to go to someone who could use it to his advantage.
He said he meant several buyers, such as an imitation of Emma Wiggle from Perth.
Mr Tinby said the car was fit for traffic and he had no problem driving it from his hometown of Vanner to Mandura.
But the presence of the Wiggles car brings fame.
He said it was only about 50 times and it attracted a lot of attention from other motorists.
“They’re yelling, waving their hand out the window and waving their fingers,” Mr. Tinby told PerthNow.
“We had a woman in Wanneroo stores who wanted to put in her dog and take pictures … hundreds of people were taking pictures and standing in front of him.”
Mr Tinby said he believed the Wiggles brand “draws the old” after winning this year’s Hottest 100 with a cover of “Elephant” by Tame Impala.
The Wiggles were on tour for adults only, where the original band of Greg, Murray, Anthony and Jeff performed in front of an adult audience.
Steve Irwin’s son, Robert, melted hearts earlier this week when he performed with the team in honor of his father.
