One more Christmas car

And from Louise's parents, a fantastic new model from Team Slot of the Renault Alpine A310 Gitanes from the 1976 Rallye Du Var.



Christmas cars

At last May's Slot Car Festival, Andy bought a couple of Metros from Model Sport Competicion (MSC), a Spanish company that make highly detailed models with lightweight chassis and top quality components.  They ran so well, I put a couple straight on my Christmas list from Louise.

The first is an MG Metro 6R4 from the 1985 RAC Rally:
