These are the C1356 set cars aren't they?
They should be HD by the look of them

I'm glad you posted this, because I was wondering whether these high detail cars would only ever be available as set cars rather than individually boxed with their own C number. If it's definite that the set comes from the factory with cars with blacked-out windows, it's possible that high detail versions of the same cars will appear as new releases in Scalextric's 2018 range.
If you bought the sets expecting the cars to be high detail based on what the eBay description lead you to believe, send them back to Jadlam for a refund and then contact Scalextric and ask them to confirm what type of cars the set should come with.
As I write, Scalextric's website still illustrates set C1356 with high detail cars and includes the high detail logo in the "Special Features" section.
I first noticed Jadlam advertising the set cars for sale individually unboxed a week or more ago, illustrated with images of high detail cars. Today, Jadlam's adverts have been changed to include "blacked-out windows" in the text and pictures of blacked-out windowed cars, with the price of each car reduced by £2.

Jadlam replied to me. All the sets come with SR cars. They said they used Scalextric's pictures and were misled by Scalextric which states "HD" on their website.
Mmm

, since the cars can be seen through the packaging, they could not miss they were SR and not HD ... it is a bit hard to believe. They obviously know that a HD car will sell better than a SR one.
But the main blame goes to Scalextric.

Why do they make such petty savings on sets, some expensive ones : Ultimate Rivals is 150 GBP, 24Hrs Le Mans Porsche 911 220 GBP !!! It is a nightmare for the collectors but also a misery for the lucky kids getting their Xmas present. Where's the driver ? Where are the lights ? Mmmm, I go back to my computer game. Not the best way to triger a kid interest. Just for a saving of pennies.
