From West London-based Aston Martin dealer Nicholas Mee & Co comes the DB Junior, a fully functioning, gasoline-powered miniature roadster, sized for fortunate tikes 10 years and older. Inspired by Aston’s swinging DB models of the 1960s, the single-seat Junior boasts a wooden steering wheel, leather seats, working lights and horn, a coil-over suspension and Brembo disc brakes. Under the hood is an electric-start 110cc four-stroke engine matched to a semi-automatic three-speed transmission, sufficient to enable a top speed of 46mph. Pricing for the DB Junior starts at a breezy £16,500 (about $27,000 – or a good $2,500 more than the new Caterham Seven 160).
