Limited Edition Scalextric cars set

Presented as a Limited Edition Twin pack of 4500, the Jaguar D-Type is paired with the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR honouring a dramatic era in motorsport history.

The tail-finned, British Racing Green Jaguar D-Type was driven to victory in the famous 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans race by future Formula One World Champion Mike Hawthorn. The D-Type was built for racing and was the first race car to adopt a monocoque chassis; introducing aircraft-style engineering to motorsport

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR was based partly on the technology of the Grand Prix model with the body of a road racer. The 300 SLR became the most successful racing car by securing major victories for Mercedes in 1955.

The number 19 car, driven by legendary driver Juan Manuel Fangio in the 1955 Le Mans race, was fitted with an innovative and distinctive air brake, but retired early from the race.

This limited edition set is highly desirable and is expected to increase in value in the near future. Be one of only 4500 to own this set.
