• Built in 2008, 'Wind Up' is the world's smallest roadworthy car. It is around the same size as a domestic washing machine, and with dimensions of 4' long, 4' high and 2' wide, is almost half the size of the previous record holder, the Peel P50. The car is pictured in the 2013 Guinness Book of Records and has featured on TV shows including 'Pulling Power', 'Top Gear', 'Blue Peter' and the Discovery Channel as well as many other TV and automotive shows internationally.
  
  Underneath the body sits a Shanghai Shenke quad bike, purchased new in 2008. The quad was completely dismantled and the rear seat section chopped off and replaced with a custom-built 2"x1" box-section seat frame that fits inside the body, which was taken from a 'Postman Pat' child's static ride, as found outside supermarkets and in shopping centres. The swinging arm was shortened by 6" along with the drive chain, and the rear brake calliper relocated underneath the chassis. The front wishbones were all remanufactured and new suspension mounting points fabricated. 'Wind Up' has a new steering column assembly with a spiral bevel gearbox in the centre to transfer the drive through 90 degrees. Rear wheels and tyres are from a Monkey bike and the front wheels are machined from billet aluminium. Final touches are lights from a 'street fighter' motorcycle, Lucas indicators, 6mm laminated windscreen, 'Pop' Browns windscreen wiper system and a Hilborn air scoop. 'Wind Up' is powered by a 150cc engine with integral 'automatic' gearbox and has a top speed of 35mph.
