The other day, I fell into a Silver Arrow rabbit hole on YouTube and all of a sudden, I wanted a Type C. Sadly, not many survived. They were either scavenged for parts for later models or were destroyed during the war. Over a dozen were rumored to have been taken back to the USSR as war prizes. Today, one Type C, three Type D cars, and a Type C/D hill climb car remain.
There are several drivable replicas in the world and if you’re lucky enough, you’ll see one running at a track near you.
Or if you are hankering to own one made by Audi, you’re in luck (sorta). In 2007, Audi commissioned 999 1:2 scale Auto Union Type C pedal cars. What you see here is one of them. Here’s the ad:
Pass your passion for driving on to the youngest of the family with this Audi Auto Union Type replica from 1936 you will make them discover the speed and feeling of control that comes with being behind the steering wheel.
This authentic artwork contains 900 handmade parts made out of an Audi aluminium coachwork. It has 7 gears with brake pedal and an hydraulic double-disc braking system.
This eye-catching design model is built on stable aluminium tubular space frame. The aluminium panel body has been produced exclusively at Audi Toolmaking. This 1:2 scale Auto Union Type C is produced built in a real treat for junior racers (up to 125 cm tall).
Other special features of this unusually elaborate pedal car include the removable oak dashboard and a steering wheel with a quick-lock system that makes getting in and out easier.
The Auto Union Type is a limited edition of 999 units. This car has never been used and is still in the original box. There are only two units in the world that are in these immaculate conditions.
