Description
Manufactured by Scalextric (Hornby Hobbies Limited and Exin-Lines Bros, S.A.), this collection of seven slot racing vehicles and motorcycles includes Formula 1 cars and MotoGP bikes, all presented in their original boxes. The lot features a Hornby Hobbies Ferrari 156 F1 Classic Grand Prix (Model C2727), which is a 1/32 scale replica of the 1961 Sharknose, race number 3, finished in red with wire-spoke wheels. Two MotoGP models are included: a Valentino Rossi Yamaha Factory Team motorcycle with GO!!!!!! livery and race number 46, and a Repsol Honda Team motorcycle in orange and white livery with race number 69. The collection is completed by four Formula 1 slot cars manufactured in Spain by Exin-Lines Bros, S.A., housed in vintage-style red and yellow window boxes. These Spanish models consist of a McLaren Honda in white and red (number 11), a yellow and white Minardi SCM Group car (number 23), a black and blue Lotus Valvoline car (number 6), and a dark green Lotus Martini Racing Essex car (number 3). All vehicles are constructed from moulded plastic with die-cast components and are fitted with standard slot racing under-chassis guide blades and metal contact pickups.
Condition report:
The items are sold as boxed. The Ferrari and MotoGP packaging displays minor shelf wear but remains in generally good condition. The four red and yellow window boxes for the Spanish-manufactured cars show significant signs of age and storage wear, including crushing, creasing, and tears to the cardboard and clear window film. The vehicles themselves appear to be complete with original paintwork and decals intact; however, the motors and electrical pick-ups have not been tested for mechanical functionality.
