Scalextric Ferrari 330 P4
  • Scalextric Ferrari 330 P4 Scalextric have released a new Ferrari 330 P4, an iconic car with an iconic livery. The famous green was of course the chosen colour of privateer David Piper who built up the P4 from spare parts and campaigned the car both in the late 1960s and later in historic racing.
Niemas Jordan 191/6
  • Niemas Jordan 191/6 Electric Dreams have released what is claimed to be the most sophisticated slot car ever made, the hand painted, 1/24 scale Jordan 191/6 from Michael Niemas. With only five ready to run models going on sale world wide, it is certainly one of the most exclusive, and at a price of $849.99 it is well beyond my pocket.
