Well Scalextric was part of Triang when they were in Havent and when Triang got into trouble the Scalextric factory moved to Margate.

MRRC were in Boscombe which is a suburb of Bournemouth, they sold out to Airfix but seemed to retain a base in Boscombe, at some stage Airfix got in trouble but MRRC kept going and was sold a few times and is now in Germany.

PB Racing who made RC cars (Keith Plested) ran from around 1970 until the early 2000's. As far as I know Keith had no interest in Slot Cars bit Gene Hustings of Associated in the USA who was a slot car driver before getting into RC cars was a strong adversary of Keith's in the 1970's and 80's.

That whole period was great for model car racing.

There was a very good slot driver in Bournemouth called Bob Errington who went onto be a top notch RC car driver.
