At nearly 20" , length the Bantam is a commanding presence in any man's office,
den, library, or reception area. 
 Truly hand tooled, traditionally die stamped body parts in Aluminum,
Brass and Polished Mahogany wood.
 Lift the hood; admire the replica engine. Turn the cockpit wheel and angle the front wheels. Smell the luxurious leather of the drivers seat. 
 This is a touch of car history. High-tech nostalgia at its best. 
 (Hand built in polished aluminum with mahogany frame.)
 
18.9” x 8.7” x 7.1''
 
Detailed body includes exhaust pipes
detailed dash
and rubber wheels 
Inside has a mock-engine (does not actually run!)
 One look and you’ll be ready to join the competition.
 
 The 1930s saw the rise of hand built model race cars, known as spindizzies or tether cars. 
 Miniature race cars built by hobbyists zoomed around banked wooden tracks at speeds approaching 150 miles per hour. 
 Resembling the full-size racers of their day, several spindizzies competed at once, tethered by cables to a central pole. 
 Powered by model airplane engines, spindizzies raced against the clock. 
 Incredibly detailed and aerodynamic, these miniature race cars were beyond toys; they were pieces of art representative of the best pioneering technology of the era. 
 Constructed using original blueprints our Bantam Midget model resembles the original down to the smallest detail.
