The seller offers for sale this toycar, BWE Grasshopper Tot Rod from 2000, a Lotus 7 replica-style display car with an electric Toylander motor/gearbox. It was built to a good standard, using an MDF body tub sealed before painting, fibreglass exterior panels, and stainless-steel fasteners.
Inspired by the legendary Lotus Seven concept, lightweight “Seven-style” cars are loved for their minimalist design, exposed-wheel stance and pure, no-nonsense motoring character. Over the decades, icons like Caterham and well-known replicas have made the format famous for its classic proportions and motorsport feel. Even as a non-roadgoing build or display piece, the appeal is instantly recognizable: compact dimensions, purposeful details, and a shape that enthusiasts associate with agile, back-to-basics driving. For events, collections, and themed displays, the Seven silhouette remains one of the most popular classic sports car designs.
It’s in an overall very good condition.
