Perry Watkins, a Buckinghamshire man has created the world's smallest car. It was built from a former Postman Pat children's ride.The mini motor size is only 39 inches high and 26 inches wide and was converted by car fanatic Perry Watkins, 47, from Wingrave.
Over a period of seven months, Mr Watkins reinforced the fibre glass shell with a steel frame and mounted it on a mini quad bike.
He added a 150cc engine, mirrors, windscreen wipers, lights, 'go faster' flames and mock racing exhaust pipes. He also had to remove Postman Pat and his black-and-white-cat Jess from the inside.
"I searched on eBay for something suitable and found a Postman Pat coin-in-the-slot children's ride from a vendor in Scotland," he said.
The US-based World Records Academy has confirmed that this car 'The Wind-Up' - is officially the world's smallest car.
