BRM Slot Cars
Odds and Ends
A few more fairly rubbish and rare RTR cars have been produced over the years. They are included here for completeness but are not really worth the effort of tracking them down.
Lionel P25
Marketed under Lionel brand in USA but actually Scalextric production.
Stabo P48
GeGe P578
Lindberg P578
Miniamil P578
Airfix/MRRC P261
A reissue of the earlier car as part of the ‘Plus’ range but with the hideous addition of front and rear wings which never existed on the real car.
National Toys P133
Listed as a P133 but incorrect engine for that, could be anything really.
Other Scales
1/32 cars are the most common but there are a few versions in other scales, the most notable being the 1/24th ones from Cox and Revell. Both rare and highly sought after by collectors.
Cox
Revell
Oddities
Vanquish MG
P154 CanAm, 1/28 scale. Obsolete and quite rare but rather nice and they do turn up now and again.
Rover BRM
There is a complete 1/32 kit of this turbine experiment available from Pendle Slot.
BRM Transporter
Current production. 1/32 scale resin model from Pre Wing.
