An old-school race car, starting crank included.
A number painted on the door, an exposed exhaust pipe, spoked wheels fitted with tires and a starting crank up front: this model captures the look of race cars from the early days of motoring. It goes together without glue, from pre-cut wooden sheets.
A wooden car model kit to build, piece by piece
Each piece pops out by hand and slots into the next, following the illustrated instructions. What gives this model all its charm are the details: the steering wheel, the little windshield, the engine pipes and the crank up front. The wood stays natural, with no paint.
Who's it for? A vintage car lover who wants a beautiful desk piece. A gift to build, with no mechanism or batteries.
