Now where is Graham Poulton when you need him...

Wow! They look beautifully made but probably way to expensive to race. Just a gentle drive now and again maybe?

Here's the car on the PRS site;

Euro 193.5 is I imagine on par with Racer and Slot Classic?

I imagine that with only 30 of each being made, PRS will have no trouble selling them

They look excellent to me, I hope it works out for PRS so that they are able to release some other models from the same era.

i did notice one thing about them, other than the incredible detail. the stance of the car without the guides in is right. but the side on shots of the car in the slot is very wrong, the car is to high in the front and the whole car slopes backwards. how they can get this so wrong on such a pricey car is beyond me. john

Are we looking at the same pictures?

[scudbong]

I don't think the car has a guide in any of the pictures does it? In one of the pictures the nose looks a bit high but I thought that it had been photoshopped to look like it was accelerating, hence the high nose.

A bit like a real car then Pete?
Take a look on Google images at some 1:1s Stoner, the stance looks very similar to the real thing.

[Mike Newns]

Well .. if we're criticizing (which I wouldn't normally do but at this price they should get it right). The side vents are too big on both the front and rear and the lip shown is a very subtle bending of the wing material not an add-on as shown - the nose is too high and the lip on the bonnet is exaggerated. It looks like a very nice model and well done to PRS for trying but for Eur 190 I want something that is perfect

agreed dj on a 1 to 1 thats acellerating, not when its stood still. but not on this slotcar, with the gears and that motor all combining to keep the front planted firmly in the slot. john

The side on shot to which you refer is with the car moving. i think you will find it is a consequence of the car going into/around a corner. Being a nit picker There are two 'o' in too.
