Aston Martin, the ultra-luxury British brand sold mini motorized replicas of the V8 Vantage Volante and Virage in the late 1980s and early ‘90s to customers including Prince Charles.
 The Aston Martin Volante Junior, which retailed at 15,000 pounds ($24,000) plus tax, had a gasoline engine, radio, and a top speed of more than 30 miles per hour. The cars have resold for as much as 25,000 pounds, according to Roger Bennington, managing director of Stratton Motor, one of the world\'s largest Aston Martin dealers. \"A lot of people bought them as a collector\'s item when they had a new car built and would normally have the Junior built to the same specification,\" said Bennington. \"I don\'t actually think many kids got to use them as they were normally the prized possession of the Aston Martin owner. They were also a little bit too fast for children.\" Now I would have liked one of those! |
