Hi all,

Lastly, these Karts were originally sold for over $9,000 USD plus shipping and duty to the US. A very cool build that is functional, fun, yet can be displayed also as Porsche art.
We will assist in a quote and facilitating transport.

The Englishman building these models I believe has stopped building the Porsches models due to discussions with Porsche AG. Therefore, less than a handful of these were custom built and are rare.
@KayaknFly Hi, I do not have the literature/manuals. As said in the description, the car was built by a UK company, Half Scale Cars. They might have something they can send you should you be the winning bid. All information regarding specifications and details has been relayed in the description above directly from Half Scale Cars. I am not sure what the exact mixture is. I am sure that can be discussed with the manufacturer.
Do you have the original literature, manuals etc that came with the car? What’s the premix ratio for the two-stroke?

Hello all. These Karts can be shipped anywhere via crate/palette with most shippers. We would certainly assist with facilitating shipping.
These Karts are custom built from England at a cost of over $10,000 with shipping. It is an epic design, not just as a functional, fast go-Kart, but also as cool, iconic automotive art.

@MarkofromTropoja I would guess in a simple crate, can be shipped via any LTL carrier.
Dumb question, how would this get shipped?
