SUMMARY
Subject to a meticulous restoration around 10 years ago and very light use since.
DESCRIPTION
During the 1980s, Bantams were manufactured in Warwick by a specialist engineering company, using a steel chassis, fibreglass body and an 80cc Kawasaki engine at the rear. This one was fully rebuilt by the current owner some 10 years ago and has been lightly used by his grandchildren. It’s in very good working order, and attracts a lot of attention when in use at car shows etc. The clutch is automatic, braking is by a rear disc, and the pedal box is adjustable for reach. The colour is Ferrari Rosso, with Jaguar Biscuit leather. In period, there was a manufacturer – backed junior race series for these, held at circuits such as Brands and Silverstone, with many young drivers competing. Top speed of circa 25 mph was possible, but this can be limited as required. As you can see, it’s in great condition, rare, and would make a great gift for a child, or perhaps as a display piece?
