Scalextric: Cars and Equipment Past and Present [Englisch] [Gebundene Ausgabe]

A revised and updated fifth edition of this book which covers every aspect of Scalextric models, from track sections and accessories, to engines, guides and electric pick-ups. 400 colour illus.

Racing model cars is a fascinating hobby that provides thrills and excitement for young and old alike. The name Scalextric is now so well established that it has become a generic term for electric slot car systems. The fifth edition of this best-selling book - reformatted and illustrated throughout with specially commissioned colour photographs - is the complete guide to models that have been marketed under the brand name of Scalextric since their introduction in 1957. It brings the story right up to date and includes details and illustrations of 2001 models.

Roger Gillham has been interested in Scalextric since 1958 and is a respected authority on these models. His interest in motor racing has since been extended to full-size cars, and he regularly competes in speed hill climbing. He lives near Faringdon, Oxfordshire.
