J. Hipwell & Son Ltd

The early 1960's 'Cheetah Cub' (motorised kids) car, a take on a Jaguar D-type was made in by Watsonian side cars.

The vehicle used our tiny spoked wheel trims on its little wheels, along with the big cat inspired nose badge emblem.

A rare vehicle, spares are impossible to find, but we still have a few original pieces.

Our factory took over production of the ever popular Benelite Mini grilles in the 1970's. These were the 13 slat extruded aluminium type for the Mk1 & Mk2- Mini. Versions both made with and without the cutouts for the driving lights.

A mega rare find nowadays. There are a couple of new old stock plain Mk2- available here on ebay, £650 each!
