As the price of vintage autos continues to climb, so has interest in children's cars. Created to let the youngsters of yesteryear drive what their parents did, they were often nearly as impressively built as the full-scale models. Bonhams will offer several noteworthy examples at the upcoming 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed Sale. Included in the lots are a half-scale version of Kimi Raikkonen's McLaren MP4-13 F1 car, a fiberglass-bodied, recently restored BMW 328, and a SuperScale 1929 Le Mans 4.5L Blower Bentley replica gifted to a member of the British Royal Family. Unlike their full-size counterparts, however, bidding estimates for these scale treasures start in the lower four figures.

Ilo Playhouse

Named after the Finnish word for joy, the Ilo Playhouse gives the traditional childhood shelter a sophisticated update. The play cabin borrows from Scandinavian design to create a sculptural backyard refuge for miniature minimalists. Its simple, mono-pitch design and timber cladding resembles Nordic alpine retreats and features multiple openings to allow for a constant connection with nature. Each Ilo is prefabricated off-site and can be delivered fully assembled or flat-packed and built on location.

Super Heroic Sneakers

Most kids' shoes are just shrunk-down versions of their adult counterparts. Super Heroic Sneakers, on the other hand, were engineered from the ground up with kids — and more specifically, playtime — in mind. They're the brainchild of Jason Mayden, a former Nike global design director who saw an opening in the market while dealing with his son's own health problems. Traction on the sides of the shoes gives added grip, a dual-density midsole supports quick movements, a rubber outsole provides stability, and an adjustable utility strap works with the seamless upper for an ideal balance between fit and comfort. Available in three colorways, they arrive in a tubed package that plays sound effects when opened and also contains a superhero-inspired, cape-like backpack.

Made from several parts of different minibikes, the Auto Fabrica Type 0.1 has a 50cc single-cylinder power plant attached to a 70s mini donor frame. A vintage tank, custom-fabbed exhaust, modern minibike telescopic forks, and custom rear shocks make for a bike that is every bit as ridable as anything adult-sized.
