TUESDAY RACE NIGHT: Racing recommences February 2012. All are welcome. Further details see HERE
NOT UNEXPECTED
The Torana originally announced by Scalextric to be produced in 2011 was to be the Bathurst 1974 #1 car driven by Peter Brock and Brian Sampson.
Due to the Marlboro sponsorship Scalextric has confirmed the cancellation of that model and it will be replaced by the Bathurst 1976 #5 car driven by Peter Brock and his brother Phil Brock. The car placed 3rd in the Hardie Ferodo 1000 in 1976.
The part number, C3214, remains unchanged. This model is now expected for release early 2012.
AN UNUSUAL BEAUTY
Spanish manufacturer, Cartrix, produce a range named 'Grand Prix Legends'. These magnificent models of racing cars from the mid 20th Century have always been popular models.
In our most recent delivery we acquired a rare 1948-1952 Talbot Lago T26C. This model was produced for the Foro Slot Madrid held in November 2011. The model is very unusual as it is a complete white car and even the tyres have been produced from a white rubber.
This model is a Limited Edition of 200 units only.
We have added this model to our museum so when you are next in have a look at it.
Also received in that delivery is a limited supply of the Cartix display units 1201 (clear back) and 1202 mirrored back. If you are have been searching for a handsome display case to hold a dozen cars these are worth a look.
SLOT CARS IN THE MEDIA
There has certainly been a resurgence back to slot cars over the past decade or so and with this interest has come more media attention. Leading Sydney newspaper, Sydney Morning Herald, interviewed our Jim Berry and a feature was written in probably the most unexpected section of the paper - the Money section. A link to the article can be viewed HERE
It is also interesting to note that following the piece we received a barrage of calls by those who had rummaged through their attic looking to cash in on old treasures.

ANOTHER ARMCHAIR RACER
The Goodwood Revival and Festival of Speed is the most historic race meeting held annually in West Sussex, England.
Included in the 2009 event was a display by Rowan Atkinson, a well known motoring enthusiast and a huge supporter of the event over many years.
Rowan Atkinson recreated an iconic scene from his TV show, Mr Bean. In the sketch, Mr Bean buys several items of large furniture and then realises they will not fit in his distinctive green and black Mini. Mr Bean then straps the armchair to the roof and drives home operating the car with a mop and some string.
This display highlighted two anniversaries of 2009.
The first being the 20th anniversary of the creation of Mr Bean.
The second being the 50th anniversary of the legendary British car, the Mini.
In 2009 two slot car manufacturers produced Mini's to celebrate the Mini's special anniversary.
English company, Scalextric, presented a model of the first ever Mini to roll off the production line 50 years ago.
Spanish company, SCX, has presented a model of the Authi Mini. The Authi Mini was manufactured in Spain during the late '60's and early 70's as a result of the Spanish Governments insistence on full local content.
