This FW14 Junior is a 75% scale replica of the Williams Grand Prix Engineering FW14-B Formula One car driven by Nigel Mansell in the 1992 FIA Formula One World Championship and was built by HalfScale Cars of Winchester, England. The monocoque chassis is constructed in carbon fiber and finished with a blue, white, and yellow livery with Canon and Camel logos, and it is powered by a brushless electric motor linked to an automatic gearbox with reverse. Equipment includes front and rear wings, side mirrors, faux air intakes, a rear diffuser, a Sabelt harness, a starter key, a Moto-Lita steering wheel, a suede-covered molded seat, four-wheel disc brakes, and singe-seater-style suspension. This Williams FW14-B Junior is one of a planned run of 25 units and is now offered in Santa Rosa, California, on a bill of sale.
The carbon-fiber-weave bodywork was constructed using 3D scans of the original FW14B Grand Prix car and built as a ¾-scale replica. The hand-painted blue, white, and yellow livery has red accents and features Bull, Camel, Canon, Elf, Labatt’s, Goodyear, and Renault logos, with a red “5” on the nose cone. Additional features include front and rear wings, yellow side mirrors, a rear diffuser, and a faux airbox and side air intakes. The car measures 122″ long, 64″ wide, and 40″ tall.
Black-finished Fondmetal steel wheels wear Smooth slick tires with Goodyear Eagle white lettering and measure 10″ up front and 12″ out back. They are said to have been designed specifically for the car. Stopping power is via cross-drilled four-wheel disc brakes with faux wheel backing covers and vertical air ducts fitted at the rear. The monocoque chassis features single-seater pushrod style front and rear suspension.
The molded seat is upholstered in suede with matching side panels and is fitted with a Sabelt three-point race harness. A black helmet pad is affixed to the faux airbox above the seat.
The cockpit features a quick-release Moto-Lita three-spoke steering wheel trimmed in black leather, that sits aft of a carbon-fiber-lined dashboard with a centrally positioned starter key. The footwell is trimmed in black carpeting, ahead of twin foot pedals.
The brushless electric motor powers the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox with 9.5:1 gearing and reverse. The power output is said to be configurable between 15 and 35 Ah.
The manufacturer’s plaque is riveted to the bodywork, listing the model and chassis numbers, and states it is an official Williams Racing Junior Car.
