Editorial Reviews

Product Description

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.


About the Author

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference, April 25, 2002
By Michael Carnell (Charleston, SC) - See all my reviews
I am new to the field of slotcars, and this book serves as a great introduction. Provides an excellent history as well as providing photos and relative value information. If you are into collecting Scalextric cars, this is the book for you. Even has pictures of my much beloved MGs!

Why not 5 stars? The only way it could have gotten 4 stars would be to have more pictures, but that would have ben difficult to do...
