Hot Cougar Coming...Scalextric News

[crossovercrazy]

Yo, Adrian...thank you for the car!

Just kidding about the "antenna" stuff. Please keep the American iron, and the sports car and F1 classics coming, and I'll keep opening my wallet!

LOTS of Scaleys to buy this year!

Adrian - please talk with Tim Milward in the UK (www.slotcars4u.net) - I believe Scalextric has gotten artwork from him in the past. He's got the definitive artwork already done for all cars but the yellow one.

As for the Historic T/A Series - VERY cool, but NOT authentic in most ways. The cars are heavily over-restored in some cases (1963 Falcon with flares anyone?) and do not always represent the cars as they ran in the day. Good generic liveries, but if you want a specific race, again Tim has done the research for the correct ones.

Either way, thanks for producing the Cougar!

I have to concur! The Cougar has always been a favorite - so I am definitely looking forward to them hitting the shelves! We have a pretty active vintage Trans Am series at the local commercial track and a number of us are chomping at the bit waiting on the Cougar and Challenger releases to show up and allow an expansion in the variety of bodies we can run.
In addition to the Cougar and Challenger, would be great to see pre '68 Corvette, Plymoth 'Cuda and Pontiac Trans Am / Firebird bodies be offered in the future as well...
However, that being said - thank you again for bringing this body style to market!
:mrgreen:

I still haven't gotten around to assembling my RMS version!

I need this... Yes i do. Used to have a 68 Cougar with a 351W. Rust never sleeps... :(

Adrian! You were a big help to me when I bought a car that had missing parts, years ago. Its good to know you are still there. The Cougar is one of my favorites from those days, so I'm very excited to see this coming. Not to put too fine a point on it, I also hope this will be a triumphant return to the "A" list for Scalextric. All the best.

I probably wouldn't have noticed the difference if it hadn't pointed it out. It looks close enough for me. I want a blue one too.

I saw a black livery of that year Couger with red trim racing at the Monterey Historics running at Laguna Seca last weekend. I looked through my photos but can't find it in the 600 photos I took over the three days.

Was it this one?

Love that Blue and Silver "tribute" car - that is SHARP!
