Always wanted to (at least) see a copy of the very first issue
Tri-ang Scalextric Catalogue ...
The
1st. Edition 1960 and here's a link
https://slotracer.online/library/scalex ... -1960.html for those who never had or ever saw a copy
Plus a whole lot of other editions available at the top righthand corner of link

Very interesting Luke.
Indeed and must mention, what's real cool about the link - you can view (first-hand)
nearly all the other magazines
page for page from years later
I remembered owning (1 or 2)
Scalextric Magazines from the early 70s to early 80s ... and one of those magazine I will not forget, maybe because I viewed it so many times ~
it's etched in my memory
It also featured my very first (item no.C579) Scalextric 300 Set
The
18th. Edition 1977 -
https://slotracer.online/library/scalex ... e-1977.php - but sadly don't have a clue where it is today in
2022
However ...
It sure would be
GREAT if someone in the World - collected all 63+ years (1960 to 2022 ...) of
Scalextric Catalogues and maybe have neatly displayed to showcase

This was my first Scalextric set:
And I have to say, being set no 33, its like they had a premonition!

It ocurred to me, when I collected my (recent) replacement
Scalextric 2009 Catalogue & making the
18 Years of Editions complete ...
18. 2025 / Edition 66
Realized how that same 2009 year, is when ...
FRC Scalextric Sport Digital Racing ... actually started
I wrote "actually" because remembered hearing NEWS (late 2008) about its construction.
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1380&sid=06f0b94c59 ... dfa1df0348
So, in essence ...
My true-blue
Scalextric Catalogue / Magazine Collection from
2008 to 2025 ... represents the same
18+ years of
FRC Existence
I also, have these
2 Hard Cover Books ... for the overall collection
A Race Through Time Scalextric
