The Shadow team under the leadership of Don Nichols entered Formula
1 in 1973 and quickly established themselves as one of the leading
teams. Shadow won the 1975 race of Champions at Brands Hatch in
a DN5, but had to wait until Australia, in 1977, for their first
Grand Prix victory. The first of many for this highly professional
outfit. A feature of the U.O.P. Shadow was its wide monocoque
and side radiators, thereby setting the direction for the future.
The car was powered by a Ford Cosworth V8 engine.
This Scalextric C105 U.O.P. Shadow model of the U.O.P. Shadow
is complete. Thoroughly cleaned and serviced the car is fitted
with new pick up braids. The car has been track tested and runs
extremely well with quiet smooth motor and gears. The front and
rear wing mouldings are complete. The all important rear tyres
are in good, grippy condition with no cracks or other damage.
The body has no scratches and the factory applied printing is
in good condition.
This Scalextric C105 U.O.P. Shadow car is wonderful to race and
would add value to any collection.
