The UGears Dream Cabriolet VM05 pays tribute to the history of mechanics from the 1950's!
Your Cabriolet model can go forward or backward, powered by an innovative rubber-band motor that drives the car.
In idle mode, take a look under the hood and appreciate the beauty of the intricate cranks and gears in operation!
But, when you want to set your vehicle in motion, pull the transmission lever on the steering column and watch it spring to life!
You can view the V-8 engine in operation, or use the steering wheel to move the front wheel coupling in any direction you choose.
Your model even comes with window cranks, fully functional windshield wipers and a lifting jack and repair kit mounted in the trunk!
Just like all good Ugears models, your Cabriolet comes with step-by-step, full-colour instructions in 11 different languages.
The precision-cut plywood pieces mean that glue and other special tools are not required to assemble your self-propelled Cabriolet.
Level of difficulty: Hard
Number of components: 739
Assembled dimensions: 35cm x 15.7cm x 8.9cm
Estimated assembly time: Approximately 13 hours
Recommended for ages 14 and up.

Very cool
Superb build, no problems at all. Once finished, it was impossible to make the car move; too many gears, I suppose. But in any case, a superb model.

Well designed and engineered model . 5 Stars to your Team .It took roughly a month to build. some frustrating assembly problems with getting the gears to rotate and final assembly rear wheels do not rotate. This is the third UGEARS model.that I have built. Excellent instructions and the video helps with the build.

This is a great model. It is fun to build and great to play with. This is my 5th model and I love it. Will buy more.

Dream Cabriolet was challenging and rewarding to build. BUT there were some frustrations that UGear could correct 1) Rubber bands were old, brittle and easily broken. They sent some new, but not quite enough 2) Toothpicks were too thin. I resorted to glue, and then bought some at grocery store which worked 3) In some cases, parts were all over the place. Instructions helped somewhat. Okay, but could have been better

My 8th model. Challenging and fulfilling, but a few frustrating bugs: I almost gave it 3 stars. 1) Rubber bands were old and brittle. Ugear sent me some new, but not enough. 2) Toothpicks were too thin. I used glue, and then bought some at grocery, which worked. 3) Locating pieces on the board often took lot of time. Seemingly no logic, just "maximizing board use" I guess. 4) Getting rubber bands into proper slots was nearly impossible. I devised my own tools with some success (fastening tool box to underbody was all but hopeless). Suggestions? Tools?

l recently got a model as a gift. I was excited to get on with it, an it wasn't long before it was completed. I found instructions to be clear, concise and unambiguous. Picures that require no words. I was hooked, so ordered another model - the cabriolet car. Many more parts and the same excellent quality. However , I found this one a bit more tricky and its not always suited to the larger hand/finger size. I managed to finish it and it looks great. It doesn't quite do all the movements that it should - particularly the driving forward/reverse, but all the windows go up and down , the seats move and doors, boot and bonnet flip open. But it can't go anywhere, so I was a bit disappointed with this final outcome. There is no way I'm going to try and sort it out because those features are set early in the build. I'm still not sure if I would risk a third build too soon as they are a bit more expensive than what I am used to.

This is a fantastic model! It looks great, and most importantly, I had a wonderful time putting it together. The build is challenging, exciting and interesting. You learn so much! The materials are top notch, the instructions are detailed and very clear, and the design... well let's just say I have an immense respect for the team that designed this model, I know how much work went into it.

A wonderful model
A wonderful model but requires a certain amount of dexterity , so the ham fisted (like me) will struggle. Pressing certain parts out of the panels can be nerve racking but in the end a very rewarding experience, ideal during times of self isolation. I painted parts of the car with acrylic paint, and the wood took the paint very well, no raised fibres. I will be doing more!

This was a fantastic, time consuming, and enjoyable model to build. The precision of the parts, the clear instructions, and attention to detail makes this model a great challenge, and a demonstration of perfection in design, engineering and fabrication. Well done UGEARS!

I like this model very much. It's hard to imagine that it has too many parts. Although it's not difficult to assemble, it's time-consuming. I'm glad to have finished the assembly, with many mechanisms and high playability. I am looking forward to new tanks coming into the market in the future. Tank assembly is a big challenge for me.
