Scalextric Super Racing System (SRS) Cars

They are not easy to find now, but the lexan-bodied Scalextric SRS cars were not only good performers, but for many years, they were the only game in town in terms of more exotic endurance racing cars like the Lancia LC2, Nissan R89C and the Peugeot 905. Now that some of these cars are (or will be) available in high-quality hard body shells from manufacturers like Slot.It, LeMans Miniatures and others, we have options that look a little better and offer more durability. Nevertheless, these cars from the mid-80's/early-90's still look quite good, perform well, and still have significant value for collectors. The chassis are super lightweight, and the strong motors and lexan bodies deliver excellent racing performance. These examples are in very good shape, sans the obvious yellowing of the Lancia Body, which was originally pure white. I've seen some that are still nice and white - so I don't know if this one was exposed to too much sunlight or perhaps had been clear-coated...with something.
