History

I think these are actually from the 60's but no one will be the wiser ;)
Slot Cars been round 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and still today !!!!

Got these off my mum when she was in a clearing out mode - saved them from the dump!!!

These are still in there original cases and still work, The middle yellow one is very rare and the most valuable of the lot :)

Original Slot Cars are valued at between $30 - $300 each depending on condition and availability

Terrific composition - the positioning of the colors is well-done. The reflection add a nice touch.

Cute shot, but for close up stills like this, lighting is everything!
photo gets too grainy on the back two cars.
