2000 HALF SCALE battery power Lotus 7/Caterham replica SOLD

An amazing, high quality, scaled down battery powered replica of the real thing! Ex factory show demo car, fully recommissioned and restored.

This is actually a ‘Grasshopper’ electric car manufactured by BWE Sportscars until the early 2000s as a scaled down child’s version of their full size Locust and Hornet cars

It's a very solid, impressive and striking little car with an aluminium over plywood body with GRP nose cone and wheel arches. Size is approximately 7 feet long and 3 feet wide.

This is one of a pair of cars I acquired direct from the manufacturer, which were originally built as show demonstrators so this is a unique opportunity to buy a car professionally built by the original manufacturer
Both cars have been recommissioned to fully working condition. The second car is a more traditional Lotus 7 style and is advertised separately.

Would make a superb gift for any child or for a Lotus 7 or Caterham owner as a cool addition to any garage to sit alongside the real thing! Without doubt, a collector’s item in its own right.

BWE is no longer trading so these kits are no longer available and they very rarely come onto the market, especially in this condition and with this unique provenance.

Features:
Plywood body, clad in aluminium with GRP nose cone and wheel arches
Bright yellow and gloss black paintwork
Aluminium stone guards
Lotus nose badge
Caterham style body decals
4x alloy wheels plus matching spare mounted on the rear
Semi slick racing style tyres
Rollover hoop
Fully working lights
Powerful 24v electric motor
2 brand new batteries
Forward and reverse gears
Dashboard with on/ off key switch, speed adjustment control, forward/ reverse switch, battery monitor, light switch and mains charger socket
Floor mounted accelerator pedal
Fully carpeted with professionally upholstered vinyl seat
Limited to 4mph for safety

Any questions or viewings welcome. We are located in Emsworth near Chichester and Goodwood, close to the A3/ A27 junction

I’m happy to sell this worldwide but for obvious reasons it is collection only. There are plenty of suitable delivery services available through Shiply etc and I’m very happy to facilitate collection by your nominated courier and even to add some protective wrapping if required.
