Racer Sideways SWLE08 Lancia Stratos Turbo Group 5 -  JPS Limited Edition. October 2020. RRP £72.95

Due to arrive with UK retailers next week is a another Racer Sideways John Player Special-liveried limited edition (792 units worldwide). This time, the black and gold feature on the Sideways Group 5 Lancia Stratos Turbo...

   

To my eye, the JPS livery and Union Jack are a little incongruous on this Italian thoroughbred, but it is an iconic livery of that era and the finish on the Stratos is rather special. Some people go crazy about their Gulf liveries and so why not JPS? The car comes in a suitably black and gold collectors' box...

   

And all the mechanicals are what you'd expect for a Sideways Group 5 car...

   


The UK consignment of this limited edition are due with retailers next week. The car is available as a pre-order now from Pendle Slot Racing and MRE - both for rather less than the RRP.

Too good looking to race? 
I have a black Racer Sideways BMWM1 in JPS livery. 
I have beaten the hell out of car over the last 3 years because its such a good performer.
I also own a pair of the matt black Stratos test car. 
The Stratos is pretty but its short guide length makes it a proper handful on the track.
