This
one brings back lots of memories. My Grandpa used to drive
me around in one of these when I was a child in Germany.
It was a neat little car and I'm sorry that we sold it after
Grandpa passed away. I was too young to realize the value
of this automobile.
As
you can see from the box below, this car is a plastic
model (1:24) that I am converting into a slotcar.
I am using most of the original parts of the model,
although I had to do a major change with the rear
wheel. The model comes with only one wheel in the
back but for better traction and running I added the
2nd wheel and and added pieces as suspension for it.
I replaced the original wheels with Scalextric ones.
I placed the gear where the original wheel would have
gone. Tires, wheels, axle, bearing, gear and motor
are from Scalextric. The 1:1 Isetta in Germany used
to have 2 back wheels, while the English version only
had one.

finished product
