'Wind-Up' Mini Car


British constructor Perry Watkins sits in his 'Wind Up' mini car. The car is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's smallest car with a licence to drive on public streets. Just 41 inches high, 51 inches long and only 26 inches wide the mini always finds a parking space. It can drive 37 mph and even has security belts.

It's not really a wind-up car. Perry Watkins used a 150cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine from a Postman Pat children's ride.

Er, no. The bodywork is from a Postman Pat ride, not the engine.
