There are two NonnoSlot F1 ranges:

1) NS Lexan for Racers: metal chassis + Slot.it Flat6 motor + low-detail lexan bodies = very impressive performance on a club track

2) NS F1 Classic: plastic chassis + Policar motor, pod and mechanicals + hand-finished hard bodies = beautiful scale models of classic F1 cars that race very well with Policar classic F1 models and other cars using the Policar pod.

I have heard good things of the lexan club racer cars, but they don't really interest me. 

I have seen a couple of the F1 Classics and they are things of beauty. Plus the Policar mechanicals are the gold standard for classic F1 racing. The hard bodied cars are - of course - more expensive than the lexan cars. And, as Marco builds and finishes each Classic car by hand, you need to contact him and then there is a waiting time for each order.

If a high-detail, hard-bodied classic F1 cars interest you, I really like the Policar classics - they look great, handle beautifully and race really well. I have also used Andi Rowland's 3D printed chassis (link here) to convert a Fly Lotus 78 to run with the Policar pod. I have a couple more classic F1 cars I plan to convert with the 3D printed chassis and Policar mechanicals. One day, I will add a NonnoSlot. Being able to use the Policar mechanicals across various manufacturers is a perfect way of getting the classic F1 grid you want with more-or-less matched performance.

Here's a Policar Lotus 72 with my Lotus 78, with the underside of the 78 to show the chassis and Policar pod...
