A 917/30 Junior Kart sold at auction for over $158,700 NZD recently through RM Sotheby's.
The kart took 18-months to build and was intended to be a fun go-kart for his sons to use.
It was built at 2/3 scale so an adult can still fit in and join in the fun. It was also built with the right car proportions, wheel and tire availability, and ability to be useful at the racetrack towing tire trolleys or racecars.
The drivetrain comes from a Kawasaki Mule 610 which was bought as a complete vehicle and the powertrain removed. The drivetrain meets the torque requirements to tow a race car.
