Mechanic builds life-sized version of classic children's toy car the Cozy Coupe
A mechanic has created an adult version of the classic children's toy car the Cozy Coupe - which can do 0 to 60mph in just 17 seconds.
John Bitmead spent five months creating a life-size version of the toy, which cost a staggering £35,000 and runs off unleaded petrol.
The car is an exact replica of the Cozy Coupe from the yellow roof, to glassless windows and over-sized drink holders.
John, who created the car with help from his brother, Geoff, and friend Nigel Douglas, said:
John, 48, from Oxfordshire, took apart a Daewoo Matiz to create the car and worked over 1000 hours on the project.
