1980s Bantam Petrol Powered Children's Racing Car
During the 1980s, Bantams were manufactured in Warwick by a specialist engineering company, using a steel chassis, fibreglass body and a Kawasaki FA76 engine at the rear. Bought in 1996, his kart has been with the same family since then and used sparingly, sometimes seen being driven by the vendor's daughter in the pits at circuits around the UK and until recently, used by the grandchildren. The clutch is automatic, braking is by a rear disc, and the pedal box is adjustable for reach. Finished in bright red and in good running order, this swift little thing is ready to be enjoyed.
