Bantam Midget - Green

An icon of 1930s racing, reimagined in timeless British style

This beautifully crafted Model Bantam Midget Replica is finished in classic British Racing Green, capturing the elegance and spirit of vintage motorsport. Expertly made from aluminium, it features a wooden footplate and a finely detailed replica (non-working) engine beneath the bonnet—making it a standout piece for collectors and enthusiasts.

Inspired by the legendary “spindizzies” of the 1930s, this model pays tribute to early tether car racing. These miniature racers were hand-built, powered by model airplane engines, and raced at speed around circular tracks, tethered to a central pivot. As their pace increased, spectators had to spin to keep up—giving rise to the nickname “spindizzies.”

Each piece is handcrafted using original 1930s blueprints and finished with exceptional attention to detail. Built from plantation hardwood, recycled aluminium, brass, and leather, it reflects both authenticity and craftsmanship at the highest level.
