    Built by enthusiasts

    Made by people who grew up on these cars — not by a licensing department.

      The Mini Motors

      Hand-built, adult-sized ride-on cars. Each one is fabricated from scratch over a steel chassis, painted to show-car standard and finished with a stitched leather bucket seat. Waist high, road legal nowhere, and built one at a time.

      Every car is made to order. Paint, wheels, livery and interior can all be changed — get in touch before ordering if you want something that isn't in the photos.

        Not a toy

        There is a difference between something stamped out by the thousand and something built for one person.

        Questions, answered

        directions_car

        Which cars can you build?

        Six shapes are in the range right now — the Mk4 Supra, R34 GT-R, FD RX-7, NSX, widebody 993 and the rally-spec Impreza STI. If the car you want isn’t listed, ask. Most 90s and early 2000s shapes are buildable; the more reference photos you can send, the better the result.

        palette

        Can I change the paint or the wheels?

        Yes. Paint colour, wheel finish, livery, seat stitching and wing style are all specified per build. Want a Midnight Purple R34 instead of Bayside, or bronze wheels instead of black? Message us before you order and we’ll confirm what’s possible.

        straighten

        How big are they?

        Each one is sized for a single adult rider — low enough that the beltline sits around hip height on most people, with the driver’s shoulders above the screen line. Exact length, width and weight are listed on each product page.

        schedule

        How long does a build take?

        Nothing is pre-made. Once your order is placed the body work starts, then paint, then the clearcoat has to cure properly before anything is assembled or polished. Rushing paint is how you get a finish that fails within a year. You’ll get a build timeline by email as soon as your slot is confirmed.

        local_shipping

        How do these ship?

        Crated and freighted, not thrown in a parcel van. Shipping is included in the price and we deliver worldwide. Customs duties and import taxes in your country are separate and remain your responsibility.

        Are these road legal?

        No. These are private-property vehicles — driveways, car meets, warehouses, private land. They aren’t registered, plated or built to any road-vehicle standard, and they shouldn’t be used on public roads.
