The Zoom


 

This is an alternative children's car called the Zoom. It is also powered by any cordless drill. Similar to the Lightning but the all wood design has no need of a separate body shell and allows the customer to assemble the complete body from pieces of MDF or plywood. Simply cut to shape when  the paper patterns supplied are stuck to the plywood. 

Zoom plans/ patterns and instructions cost £25 (P&P free)
