Racing model cars is a fascinating hobby that provides 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. This completely revised edition of Haynes' best-selling book, first published in 1981, offers the level of detail and comprehensive data demanded by the aficionado. A 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 2004 models.

This is a comprehensive recap of the Scalextric toy line. A must have for any collector or someone interested in slot cars. It is a real help in figuring out if something is really a "collector's item" or identifying odd individual pieces. This is the goto Scalextric answer book.
