Little Tikes’ Cozy Coupe — the red plastic, yellow-roofed model that’s been awkwardly piloted across suburban sidewalks by toddlers everywhere since 1979 — is now street legal. And it might help raise money for charity.
John Bitmead, a mechanic in Oxfordshire, England, spent about $6,600 and 1,000 hours over the course of five months converting a Daewoo Matiz into an adult version of the classic toy. His two-seat car runs on unleaded gasoline and can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 17 seconds. Not bad when the original runs on children’s foot power.
