Two more 80s Nascar liveries in 2020...

         

I am enjoying these Monte Carlo and T-Bird fantasy liveries - and the Scalextric design team seem to enjoy producing them too. The #55 Arrow Head Monte Carlo is one of the best yet, and whoever came up with 'Allama' as a sponsor deserves a medal. That made me smile... a lot.


Trans-Am time... And no new tooling this year. However, some super-duper re-liveries here for the Cougar, Challenger and Mustang:

       

That Sam Posey #76 Dodge Challenger is straight on my wishlist. The #76 was Posey's backup car for most of the 1970 Trans-Am season, with Tony Adamowicz driving it at the final race at Riverside. The Mustang was a KarKraft Boss 302 development car that Martin Birrane brought to the UK and raced - with Cona Coffee sponsorship - in 1971 and 1972, including at the 1971 Spa 24 hours.

       

The Mercury Cougar is a modern day historic racer inspired, no doubt, by the iconic green and gold Allan Moffat #41 car that raced in the Trans-Am series in 1967. The #48 metallic green car is raced by Scott Hackenson in vintage Trans-Am events.

And just to the left of the Cougar is the #24 Libra International Racing Ford Escort Mk1 driven by John Fitzpatrick and John Buffom at the 1972 Daytona 6 hour race. I like this car very very much...
