[Top Down]

The final threesome with a single theme - Rally cars.

   

All three bought this year but I can't recall when and from whom, each was from a different seller - and 1/32 and 1:1 manufacturer.

First up is the lovely little SCX Talbot Sunbeam Lotus. My Mum had one of these - ostensibly - not the rally version of course but an everyday (bright red) shopping trolley version. However, she rarely got a chance to use it as my Dad loved driving it every chance he could.  Imagine what he'd have thought of the Lotus tweaked version!

Next up is somebody else's scratchbuilt Audi. It uses a Scalextric body with an MRRC Sebring Series chassis. No idea how it drives as I haven't had a chance to use it yet. Just loved the look of it.

Finally, a Scalextric Lancia Delta in the stunning Totip livery. This came before the Slot.it Totip Lancia and fueled the drive to get that one. Makes a nice alternative to the usual Martini cars.

The first two are inline, this one's a sidewinder, while both factory cars have lights all round, although those of the Sunbeam didn't live up to that name. The rear lights were ok but the fronts weren't even a dim glow. It took quite a bit of fiddling with the SCX copper tracks and tabs before they did BEAM.
