Looks like it has taken its inspiration from the Triang Hornby Battle Space Turbo Car which was made in an age where guarded propellers were not required by the H & S police.

Nice to see a manufacturer coming up with something oddball like this, I hope the performance is as fantastically erratic as the Timpdon Tizer Moth!
