Although these are not slot cars, they were built by a slot racer, and I thought might be of interest to people here.

If you have read my other thread in the scratchbuilt section, you will know where they came from.

The first one was trhown in one of the Ebay lots for free (as bait) and it was so cute I decided to buy them all, even though they are not slot cars.
The drivers are lead figures and because they are not glued in, they might have swapped cars at some point in the last 40 years.

The first 3 I will keep. but the others will probably go.

I know one of those is a Lotus, the other??

3 great little Coopers

2 Maserati

Don't know what that one is, but the driver is hairy.

More great cars Joel.
It must have been really difficult to model them in that small scale.

Very nice Joel. All in balsa or some other wood?

One of the period drivers was a hairy chap, maybe Jo Bonnier?
