Thinking about Phil and Derek has prompted a further thought.
40 years ago the vintage Bentley and Bugatti were the "Vanwall" and "Maserati" of their day as they were historic racers from a past that extended back only about 30-40 years at that time.
Today we have the Vanwall and Maserati which takes us back 45 or so years.
What in 40 years time will be considered to be the Vanwall and Maserati of 2044?
To produce such cars then would probably be foolhardy as there will be only a very small number of folk around who would remember them and harbour sentimemt.
So which cars of the current period that we are in will produce the most sentiment in around 40 years time and therefore be offered up by the slot car manufacturers for the next generation of slot car racers?
