I Wonder How Many Dads Are Being Woken Up This Morning,
to the cry of 'Dad can I have one of these for Christmas?'
they are small versions of cars some dad's own, pictured the E-type and Porsche, but also available are versions of the Mercedes 300SL, Willys Jeep and Bugatti Type-35, costing £6,995 or £9,995 depending on the model, some have a 14 m.p.h. electric motor or a petrol engine, which is an altogether a more serious toy, these 220kg machines have a top speed of 46mph, a 110cc four-stroke air-cooled Honda engine, a three-speed semi-automatic gearbox (plus reverse) and twin hydraulically operated disc brakes at the rear,
more than 450 hours of work go into each car, as an aside I wonder how many man hours go into making a full size car on a production line? but back to the toys at 7ft 6ins long and 3ft wide will they fit into the garage, or would you be able to squeeze them through the front door? it appears that they can not be used on public roads, so I guess they are safe to use on pavements! but what a toy for a young lad to get for Christmas! the cars are lovingly made by Pocket Classics who might do a 'one off' of your favorite car if requested, for me the type 35, full size if possible please!
