Christmas is slowly approaching, and don’t be surprised if your child’s Christmas list includes a Red Ryder BB Gun… and a Willys Jeep! We recently discovered that Group Harrington is making half-scale replicas of real classic cars, including the Willys Jeep pictured above. Don’t worry Dad, you can ride too! These deceptively small versions are tough, using composite for the body and chassis with engines that start at 50cc (the Willys Jeep version comes with a 110cc 4 stroke quad bike engine).
Standard equipment on these literal “babies” includes a steel chassis, 3 forward gears + reverse gear, twin rear hydraulic disk brakes, semi-automatic gearbox (clutch-less gearchange), working lights, indicators (flashers), horn and electric start! Comfortably seating two adults, the Harrington version of the Willys Jeep also offers optional wheel / tire options and add-ons such as racks…oh my!
Ok, so we’re a long way from putting toys under the tree, but I couldn’t resist sharing this nugget of information with my readers, not to mention the fact that it may take between now and then to set aside the funds for a Christmas present like this! (We don’t actually know how much one of these rides costs yet, but will keep a lookout). Until then, you may have to offer your little one a more “stationary” experience (on your lap at the wheel of your garaged Willys)!

WOW! I was expecting a high price tag, but that’s REALLY up there. Thanks for the info. I guess my kids will be getting the mini-mini-miniature version this time around. (Like the kind you can drive around your cereal bowl. 🙂
I inquired with the manufacturer and found the the current standard price is $7,742 US plus $345 in shipping. OUCH!
