The Meccano Motor Car Constructor outfit No.2 allowed owners to build more impressive clockwork motorcars than they could with the No.1 set.

The Number Two Outfits

  • The "Number Two" cars were larger and much grander-looking and more imposing than their No.1 counterparts, and cost about twice as much.
  • The chassis plates were two-piece, to allow a choice of two lengths, and the motor was detachable.
  • Unlike the No.1 outfits, the No.2 unfortunately didn't come with a roof option (probably due to the different chassis options) – all the models were open-top.
  • They could also be fitted with optional electric lighting, operated from the car dashboard.

However, the upscaling meant that the two sets of components were incompatible.
