Hi Guys, I consider September to be the beginning of slot car season and this year is no disappointment. From Scalextric:
The long awaited two car 50th anniversary set is here and it is spectacular. This limited edition (7000 worldwide) set will be sold out in no time so do not hesitate. Included is an exact tin replica of the first Scalextric Slot car, the Ferrari 375 F1. Scalextric started out as a company that made tin clockwork motor toys and the company name at that time was Scalex, referring to their scale model cars. In 1957 they electrified some of their tin toy Formula 1 race cars and became Scalex Electric which was later shortened to Scalextric. In addition to the vintage Ferrari there is a plastic slot car of the 2006 Ferrari 246 F1 car and a great hardcover volume entitled Scalextric A Race Through Time, 144 pages in full color. $139.99 C2782A
C2804 Ferrari F430 GT in a red/white and blue livery of The Carphone Warehouse #62. with working lights and digital plug ready, $47.99
C2807 Morris Mini Cooper , This is the vintage car driven in the Rallye Monte Carlo by R. Aaltonen. This mini Mini is only 4” long and comes with the Formula 1 small can motor and a single bar magnet. Early track tests indicated this little racer is a real contender. Working lights (NOT digital Plug ready and would be a challenge to find room inside for a digital chip). $47.99
C8515 is the new EasyFit Digital Plug. Most of the new Scalextric cars are coming in Digital Plug Ready. These cars have a hatch on the bottom of the car which can be accessed by a single screw. The EasyFit Digital Plug plugs into a plug in the hatch and the hatch is then closed. Your analog car is now digital ready. Elapsed time is less than 60 seconds!! $16.99
From Slotter: Sotter has produced its first more contemporary racer. The Zytec comes in blue (shown) and red and is one of the top performing no magnet racers. $70.99.
Hope to see you soon. Joe
