New Zealand Hurricane sets from the 1960s - museum - 25th-May-26

[attachment=47323][attachment=47324][attachment=47325][attachment=47326][attachment=47327]        Here, from the slot car museum in Houston Texas are 3 different Hurricane sets in HO scale, 1/32nd scale, and 1/24th scale. These were actually made by Marusan in Japan and packaged in New Zealand to avoid high tariffs. The 1/24th scale set is the most common with a Lotus 25 and a Ferrari 156. Don't see as many 1/32nd scale sets for some reason. They had a Ford GT and a Porsche 904. The rarest set is the 4 lane HO scale set.This set had a Jaguar XKE, A Buick Rivera, a Ferrari GTO, and a Corvette Stingray. All 4 lane sets had only these cars. This is the only 4 lane set by Marusan / Hurricane ever made and is extremely rare. You will notice some of the internal packaging is written in Japanese. So it was shipped from Japan to New Zealand. While the outer box and instructions are in English. So these were manufactured in New Zealand. All the sets have all their paper work as well.
