Nice, yes it's nice but you should be careful with it as with the actual 1:1 car today: they are fine as you don't go fast. They break easely and it's a pity to do it at so beatiful car.

Enjoy it.

Fantastic. I'm a big fan of Cesar's cars and can thoroughly recommend that everyone has at least one Slot Classic car in their collection whether you're a fan of the period (mainly 50s/60s) or not.

As delfi says, treat them like you would a 1:1 version..

Definitely not, but I wouldn't take mine along to regular club races. They are classic stress relievers, so after a hard day you take one, put it on your home track, drive it quickly and enjoy. Just make sure your track catch fencing is in place.

They are very nice to drive fast and forgiving at their limits. They are non-magnet cars, no doubt you could add a mild magnet and maintain the car's character. Overall they perform very much like a Ninco Classic that's had some weight added -- in this case, the resin body adds traction and stability.
