Go back in time with the UGears Retro Car UGR-T Model Kit, perfect for fans of historic cars!

Follow the detailed instructions to assemble your model complete with functional convertible folding rood with fabric overlay!

You won’t need glue or other special tools to complete your build, everything you need comes right in the box including carefully laser-cut plywood parts!

To operate your retro car, use the start/stop button and wind the spring-powered motor using the built-in ratchet key under the chassis.

Pop your car down on a flat surface and release it to watch it go using forward, neutral or reverse gears. The front wheels will turn using the steering wheel!

Open the hood to reveal a functional 4 cylinder engine with crankshaft, and a skeuomorphic pendulum that simulates the sound of a rumbling motor. How cool!

You can choose to leave your Retro Car UGR-T in it’s attractive natural wood state, or paint or stain it in your own original colour scheme!

Number of parts: 337

Estimated time of assembly: 7 hours (difficulty level: advanced).

Assembled dimensions: 26.5cm x 12.5cm x 14.4cm

Recommended for ages 14 and up.

I had this box sitting on a shelf for over a year. Finally built it. My 8th project. Definitely very advanced. Loved every minute of the build. But something is wrong with the spring. I finally got it in correctly and the car won't move. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Again I am blown away by this model. As my says “it is so cute”. I love the detail especially the fabric roof and how it will retract. Also the speed at which this model runs is much slower than my other models as it should be. Not sure if this is by design or not but it is perfect!!!!

A thoroughly enjoyable build. The finished car looks cool and was an interesting and fair challenge to complete. It even has features they don’t mention like the lever to open the boot.( trunk for Americans!)

Very beautiful model and looks great. But unfortunately even after having scrupulously assembled the car, it remains totally blocked, the spring relaxes jerkily and cannot move the car forward

In my opinion, one of the best retro car models in the Ugears line. A lot of mechanics, an interesting, realistic option for opening the roof, a crackling motor and much more. Review can be viewed on the channel Incredible Gears.

I have assembled several UGears cars and this may be the cutest one. It was nice to not have to use any toothpicks. My one criticism is the design of the axis for the spring. As designed it will not fit the shape of the center of the spring. I solved this problem by leaving off one curved pieces that forms the axis piece. This creates a flat area that fits the spring.

I think this is my 18th build and one of my favorites. I have the Sky Watcher table clock to build next and then the Dragster. The spring assembly was a tad challenging but the Retro Car was a very fun build.

I purchase these for my 89 year old dad, who loves building these, this is his second build, the first was the UGM 11 truck, I have purchased the express train, there a lot of fun to build. Hats off to the engineer for his designs. I like the coil spring wind up better than the rubber bands, especially on the train. I can't wait to get one. Thank you again for hours of bonding with my dad and having fun building something so awesome.
