A few things worth knowing.
Straight answers before you order.
Ask us a question ↗Does the finished model actually move?
Yes. The rechargeable electrical system powers visible mechanical movement once the model is assembled. It is a V8-inspired display model, not a fuel-powered combustion engine.
How big is it once assembled?
The finished model measures approximately 20.5 cm long × 17.5 cm wide × 13 cm high.
Does it arrive assembled?
This is a building kit that you assemble yourself. The hands-on build is part of the experience.
What age is it suitable for?
The kit contains small components. Follow the age guidance and safety information supplied with the product. If you’re buying for a child, ask us to confirm suitability before ordering.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
Delivery on the V8 kit is free within South Africa. Allow an estimated 8–12 business days after payment and order confirmation. Business days exclude weekends and South African public holidays.
