Magnificent reconstruction of the original automobile! More details of construction would be welcomed in your special topic, maybe together with Mike`s Renault? So, two competitors in "mini-intercontinental race Peking/Paris" presented at one place! Regards, Zoran

Hello Zoran. Mike lives in the North while I am in the South island of our country, so we built our respective vehicles independently. Unfortunately i didn't take photo's in the early stages of my build, but i will have a look. We intend to try and film and take photo's as we travel on the first stage of our adventure. Thanks again for your interest. Brian.

Thanks for posting. Do you have plans for this terrific build that I might replicate in Wisconsin?

Sorry Scott. I build all my karts by looking at photos and scaling them by sketches and by sight as I go. My motto. If it looks right it is right. This one has a simple wooden chassis made from a scaffold plank, cut down the middle and shaped to form the 'dumb/irons] at the front. Very strong.
