Scalextric: The Ultimate Guide 7th Edition

First published in 1981, this book has long been recognized as the ‘bible of Scalextric’, providing a complete catalogue of the cars and equipment produced. Now, for this seventh edition, the book has undergone a transformation, with a complete redesign and masses of new information about cars, sets and accessories produced around the world. As well as extra detail about earlier periods, there is full coverage of all the new Scalextric products launched in the four years that have elapsed since the previous edition. Now containing nearly 1,000 photographs, this book has become an extraordinarily detailed summary of everything in the world of Scalextric, written by an author who has been captivated by the subject for nearly 50 years.

Roger Gillham’s enthusiasm for Scalextric started in 1958, when he was given one of the early tinplate sets, and continues to this day. His interest in motor racing extends to full-size cars as well and he has participated in many aspects of the sport, including circuit racing and hillclimbing. He lives in Windsor, England.
