Model Indianapolis Spindizzy - Red Seat

This model of the Indianapolis Spindizzy is a truly unique piece of Grand Prix history. The model captures the shiny, sleek desktop racer which represents both the romance and the dramatic beauty of the most famous Grand Prix racers ever! The model is moulded with the same exacting detail as its original, the 12.2” Indy racer and is hand-cast in airplane aluminum. Hand polished and buffed to a high shine, the model features a detailed dashboard, faux leather seat, steering wheel and brake. In keeping with its original model-toy character, the front wheels are not linked to the steering wheel. The wheel hubs and rubber tires are made with the same exact detail as the original.

Its original makers were the famous Dooling Brothers, who manufactured around 1000 units at the time. They were offered to aficionados of the famous Dooling spin-dizzies, miniature motorized racecars that reached dizzying speeds. They were closely modelled on the famous Mercedes Silver Arrows of the early 1930s. Originals are now rare and highly prized by collectors.

Dimensions: 31cms x 13cms x 9cms ( 12.25 x 5.75 x 3.5")
