Jaguar XK120
The Jaguar XK120 is an iconically beautiful roadster, and this tiny version captures its style quite well. The little convertible packs a 110-cc, single-cylinder engine and three-speed semi-automatic gearbox. The setup can push the vehicle to 30 mph (48 kph), and it also has working headlights, a horn, electric starter, and turn signals.
RM Sotheby's estimates the roadster to sell for $20,000 to $30,000.

Shelby Cobra 427
This tiny Shelby Cobra 427 exudes big style despite its diminutive size. Rather than a big block V8, this one only has a 100-cc, single cylinder. The side-exit exhaust is fully functional, though. In an interesting touch, the eyes in the Cobras on the seats have LED lights in them.
RM Sotheby's estimates the Cobra to sell for $10,000 to $15,000.

Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR
A builder in the U.K. made this little Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR by hand. It recreates the car that Stirling Moss drove to victory in the 1955 Mille Miglia.
This model has a fiberglass body and steel chassis underneath. A 50-cc engine gets the car to 25 mph (40 kph).
The builder put significant labor into the model roadster, including making a four-spoke aluminum steering wheel and fitting the cabin with hand-stitched leather.
RM Sotheby's estimates this tiny version of the classic race car to sell for $15,000 to $20,000.

Aston Martin DB5

RM Sotheby's expects the car to sell for $20,000 to $30,000.

Porsche 936
If you think your kid is a future Le Mans champion, then get him or her started early with this tiny Porsche 936. It features a livery that perfectly recreates the look of the classic racer.
Power comes from a five-horsepower engine, and it routes through a two-speed transmission. There's even limited-slip differential at the back so your kid can turn quicker lap times.

Ferrari 250 GT California Spider
A real Ferrari 250 GT California Spider is worth millions of dollars. With that in mind, the estimate of $20,000 to $30,000 for this one seems like a bargain. The Rosso Corso paint fits it perfectly, too.
Rather than a 3.0-liter V12, this children's car packs a 110-cc single. It's enough to get the little roadster to 30 mph (48 kph), though. The vehicle also amenities like functioning headlights and turn signals.
