Clockwork Valiant from the late 1970s. Wound between the funnels in contrast to the pre-war version that is wound down the fore funnel. Quite a common Sutcliffe boat. Sutcliffe re-issued the Valiant in an effort to revive flagging fortunes in the toy market. Unfortunately , it couldn't compete with plastic toys that were cheaper to produce. Sutcliffe ceased trading not long after the Valiant was released.
