 The
Mayfair veteran car is an amalgam of the vehicles from the dawn of motoring. With details
like opening bonnet and step through doors, it is quick
and easy to construct and the body can be cut out and
assembled in around 20 hours. Add to this the detailing as
required and painting prior to final assembly and the task
is a super project for the winter evenings. Children from
two to seven will love the model car which has all the
features that you could expect from a real one, including
lights, foot brake, hand brake, forward, reverse and toot
toot bulb horn.
Body Construction -The immensely strong body is of monocoque
construction, cut from 12mm ('/2") thick panels in 'One good face' Birch plywood or MR (moisture
resistant) MDF using our unique paper cutting patterns. No
chassis is required, the axles and other fabricated parts
simply bolt directly under the wooden floor. Exterior
grade ply can be used but you need to fill the open grain
well before painting.
Motive Power - Power is provided by a powerful 12/24v 180 watt
air-cooled, continuous rated, reversible, permanent magnet
DC motor, driving through a 25:1 ratio gearbox. The model
will run on a 12v battery at a speed of around 4 mph
depending on the size of the load. Final drive is by chain
to one rear wheel. Forward and reverse are selected
electrically via a three-position switch on the dashboard.
Transmission Options -
- Basic is Direct Drive, 12v straight to the motor, used on most
demonstrators.
- Soft start control ramps up to full speed in three to four seconds;
for very young children.

throttle response.
