Scalextric has release this neat little new Mini in British Racing Green and white which will be perfect for our Historic Saloon class:
Back in the '60s when my interest in racing was born and right up through the '70s when I raced 1/1 cars myself, Minis were very dominant on the race tracks of the day. I've raced against many in the past. Here's a shot of one race in Guyana in 1977 with me in the Escort on pole and local hero Terry Angoy's Mini on my outside:
Two more white Minis are behind me.
As a young boy I had visions of driving a British Racing Green mini much like the Scaley one along a winding, tree-lined, wet British country road early on a Sunday morning. This car takes me back to those fond memories.

Lovely little thing. Had to have it although I already have my class of 6 Minis (3 Italian Jobs, Rally, Flower Power, Police Car). When I get them all together I'll post a pic. I've had a soft spot for the little buggers since I first set eyes on them at Wallerfield, summer 1979. Our own GG may well have been in that race also!
or is story to intimidate your 1/32 slotcar racers' with your 1/1 glory days' 
WELL DONE GG
