Although the Policar liveries are pure fantasy, actual 'Throwback' paint schemes aren't uncommon in real motorsport...

   

It has become a tradition at the Darlington Nascar race to pay homage to the past - with liveries from 20, 30 or 50 years ago (or from Days of Thunder or Talladega Nights) being worn by the latest Nascar Cup cars.

Porsche did it at Le Mans with the Pink Pig and 'Rothmans' cars, Brumos at Daytona and Ford's final season with the GT GTE saw some lovely retro liveries looking back to 1966 at the Le Mans race - and the tasty Jaguar-themed Castrol livery at Daytona and Sebring last year. In F1, McLaren brought back Papaya Orange to celebrate 50 years in F1 and the Williams Martini livery was unadulterated retro heaven. I get the impression that fans love 'em.

If there's a taste for 'Throwback' liveries in real motorsport, then why not slot cars? I find two of these Policar liveries absolutely sensational and the other two rather better than nice. The Policar drive-train, easy digital conversion and the magnetic nose option make the Policar Monoposto more attractive to my interests than the NSR Formula 86/89 models.
