The Martini car did arrive in the UK a few weeks ago. Pendles have it here. Might be worth chasing up if you have it on pre-order.

I know Steve is getting new arrivals out to retailers as quickly as he usually does, but there might be delays along the chain, depending on staffing levels at retailers and delivery times. Having said that, I got a parcel from Pendles this morning that I ordered on Tuesday afternoon and was posted yesterday. Most new slot cars are distributed in the UK by either Staffs, Gaugemaster or Pendles - and there have been recent deliveries from Italy and Spain. No news from Scalextric - although they seem to have released everything they had waiting in the warehouse.
