Scalextric Collectibles

Remember setting up your Scalextric set on the carpet? The excitement of trying to get the layout to fit the room, then seeing if it still worked when you plugged it in? You probably still have your set in the loft . . . This book will take you back in time, to the cars that you owned and loved, and probably smashed to pieces against the wall. It will show you how, without spending a lot of money, you can build a collection of the originals from whatever era—1960s, 1970s, 1980s, etc—and you can obtain them in almost perfect condition, even in their original boxes. The book tells you what to look out for when buying, and what is a reasonable price to pay. Of course, some cars are very rare—usually because they are in strange colors, often made by the factory in Calais. These are a lot more expensive, but you can enjoy seeing these, too.
