Plato Scalextric car

[IainW]

I found this when looking at eBay the other day.

Not a diecast model, but the closest we'll get to a BTCC SEAT replica at the moment.

Ok! So where are they selling these then? I think I've just spotted one of my birthday presents.

Cheers matey, that will do for me

Tim there's a link in my post.

I saw the Jordi Gene WTCC car from last year a few months ago and wondered if a BTCC version would be released.

[Empi5]

It's one the marshals at donington saying "You spun off again? The track is that way!"

 

[Timthebrief]

Flat cap man is surely saying "you come on the M25???? I do not believe you wanted to do that".

Any shops selling these as Ebay ones are starting to go for silly money!

Have a search for the Scalextric model number Cxxxx on google and you'll find pleanty of slot car places selling them. They're not a limited edition.

Just need to look for a way to mount it now, wheyyyy heyyyyy.

Best bet is to cut down a small piece of track then the car will sit on it properly. I may have some old stuff I could send you.

I think I'm going to get one and set my track up again, shame they don't do a Matt Neil Halfords Intergra too! Oh the possibilities.

There's a photo of one on eBay. It's mounted on a plinth:

Don't they come on a presentation mounting anyway the cars? Seem to remember Scalextrix cars use too.

 

[Empi5]

Well weve got a specialist model shop just up from us, im going in this lunch time to ask for a price, so hang fire.

Go to "Cars" - "Plastic cars" - "Scalextric" - "Scalextric latest releases"

They have the Plato one for £27.00 and the Jordi Gené WTCC one as well.

I can see this being a bigger seller than they'd ever anticipated.
