but looks can be deceiving,
for the technical, the vehicle has a steel chassis, axle and mudguards, a varnished wooden, boat-style body, polished aluminium bonnet and brass radiator grill, the car also has deep buttoned maroon leathercloth seats and coach-style working headlights - and fold-out wings with working helicopter blades that pop out from beneath the running boards, even better for Dads the seats move so Dad can have a go if he wants to and to power it? an electric engine that can chug along at the pleasant maximum speed of 8mph, there is a page here showing how the real racing car under the funding of Count Zborowski became to be made,
for the non-technical the vehicle is expected to go under the hammer for £8,000 at the Bonhams sale at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Chichester, West Sussex, next Saturday (September 15).
