Product Details

This strikingly beautiful Bantam in green is a a commanding presence in any room or study/ office. It stands nearly 20" in length, and is hand tooled with die stamped body parts in aluminium, brass and polished mahogany, so it's a real masterpiece.

Bantam midget cars were surprisingly sophisticated racecars in 1:8 scale. Raced tethered to a pole or to a chain track in a banked wooden racetrack, reaching speeds in excess of 150 mph. Spindizzies, named for the dizzying speeds they reached, were inspired by full size racecars. Handcrafted, large-scale miniatures were made by skilled owners, who often spent hundreds of hours on each car. They were true pieces of combined art and contemporary technology.
