A 917K Junior child's car

The Miami Auction|3 May 2025, 20:00 EDT|Miami International Autodrome

A 917K Junior child's car,

Fully working car for children/adults to drive and enjoy, apparently new and unused condition, built to 70% scale, the 917 K offered here is powered by a key start, 9 bhp 270 cc engine. It is capable of speeds of up to 35 mph. There is rack-and-pinion steering, front spring suspension and hydraulic disc brakes, 2-1 reduction gearbox with a wet clutch, features full-size car engineering, simply scaled down.

The chassis is a powder-coated lightweight tubular construction. The bodywork is molded-fiberglass that is a faithful tribute to the iconic 917 K, winner of the 24 hour Le Mans in 1970, driven by Hans Hermann and Richard Attwood.

The interior is finished with bare aluminum panels, and there is a mini bucket seat for the driver. A quick-release steering wheel is fitted, as well as working headlights and rear cooling fan, just like its full-scale compadre. The overall dimensions are 8.5 meters in length and 5.25 meters in width.

This 917K will suit drivers from as young as five years old up-to fully grown adults with the child's seat removed. It also has a removable roof section that allows taller drivers to get behind the wheel.
