Children’s car, not approved for road use

‘A stunning contemporary creation, ideal for Little Big Le Mans’

The Maserati Tipo 8C is a genuine racing car, developed by Alfieri Maserati in the very early 1930s, following on from the already high-performing and sublime Tipo 26C.

Initially fitted with the 26M engine bored out to 2.8 litres, it was subsequently fitted with a new engine – still a supercharged, twin-overhead-camshaft, inline-eight – which had a displacement of 3 litres from 1932 onwards.

The Tipo 8C 3000 was the last two-seater Maserati Grand Prix car and was replaced in 1933 by the Maserati 8CM, a single-seater.

This stunning 8C was built by the renowned German firm Cyclekart Factory and is powered by a 9 HP Lifan 4-stroke engine. The details – the dials on the dashboard, the faux brake drums, the exquisite grille and the dummy exhaust – are absolutely stunning…

Measuring approximately 3.20 m in length and 1.16 m in width, it will be a delight for any budding racing driver and their mechanic… It is, of course, more than capable of taking part in, for example, the iconic Little Big Le Mans race.
