722 RACER
his Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Junior is a superb children’s car, and a wonderful tribute to the sporting roadster driven to overall victory in the 1955 Mille Miglia road race by Stirling Moss. It is equipped with a 48cc engine, coupled to a centrifugal clutch driving the rear wheels, which can power the car up to a top speed of 15 mph. Braking is by a single disc with a mechanical piston caliper.

Exterior
The chassis is powder-coated aluminium to a bespoke design, while the bodywork is composite glass-reinforced plastic. The silver paintwork and red ‘722’ livery is a faithful replica of Moss’s Mille Miglia winner, co-driven by Denis Jenkinson. The bonnet and boot lid are both functional, and there are working headlights. It rides on steel wheels with pneumatic tyres, finished with three-eared wheel nut detailing.
Interior
The cabin is a great tribute to the original car, with hand-stitched dark blue leather and tartan cloth panels on the seats. The floor is trimmed with grey carpet, and the edges and side panels are upholstered with diamond-quilted leather. Ahead of the driver is a four-spoke polished aluminium steering steering wheel, as well as a plastic aero screen.
