Racer Sideways SWLE08 Lancia Stratos Turbo Group 5 -  JPS Limited Edition. October 2020. RRP £72.95

Due to arrive with UK retailers next week is a another Racer Sideways John Player Special-liveried limited edition (792 units worldwide). This time, the black and gold feature on the Sideways Group 5 Lancia Stratos Turbo...

   

To my eye, the JPS livery and Union Jack are a little incongruous on this Italian thoroughbred, but it is an iconic livery of that era and the finish on the Stratos is rather special.

The UK consignment of this limited edition are due with retailers next week. The car is available as a pre-order now from Pendle Slot Racing and MRE - both for rather less than the RRP.
