Discover the Handmade 1:2.2 Scale Pedal Cars by SEAT Históricos
If you’re a fan of miniature and scale model cars, you’re going to love what SEAT Históricos has been up to. These pedal cars are not your average collectibles – they are on a whole other level of craftsmanship and detail.
During a recent visit to Nave A122, we had the opportunity to spend some time with the team behind these incredible creations. We learned that each 1:2.2 scale pedal car is entirely handmade, making them truly unique pieces for any collector.
The collection includes a wide range of models, from classic street cars to competition vehicles. From the SEAT 600 to the SEAT 124 Group 5, there is something for every car enthusiast to appreciate.
The story behind the SEAT 600 pedal car is particularly special, as it marked the beginning of this amazing project. To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the SEAT 600 in 2017, the team at SEAT Históricos decided to create a pedal car version of this iconic vehicle. The success of this model inspired them to continue creating new designs for each anniversary, as well as taking orders for custom modern cars.
One of the most interesting aspects of these pedal cars is their connection to childhood memories. According to Isidre López, head of SEAT Históricos, “They are pedal cars because they are the ones that connect us with our childhood. Whoever had a pedal car in the neighbourhood was the king, right?” It’s a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when children played with toys instead of screens.
The attention to detail in these pedal cars is truly impressive. From the removable roof to the 1:2.2 scale based on the SEAT 600 wheelbarrow wheel, every aspect of these models has been carefully considered and crafted.
While SEAT Históricos does not currently accept orders from private individuals or sell these pedal cars, the demand for them is clear. If they ever decide to make these unique creations available for purchase, it’s safe to say that they would have no trouble finding eager buyers.
In the meantime, we can admire these pedal cars from afar and appreciate the passion and dedication that goes into creating such remarkable pieces of art. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll have the opportunity to add one of these incredible pedal cars to our own collection.
