peterg Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Finally got this lot down from the loft and sort through it all... A lot of this was given to me on my 10th birthday in 1965 as a 'Scalextric Set 55' but I added stuff to it myself and then acquired a load more from an older friend who gave me his track and other bits after he grew out of it... There is approximately 60ft of track plus accessories which includes: Pits - switchable entrances so you can continue or pull into the pits (PT91, PT93 and PT95S and T) Goodwood chicane (PT77) Short chicane x 2 (PT78, two different styles) Long chicane (PT74 and PT75 x 2, 3 straight lengths where the tracks converge to allow only one car at a time) Lap counter (C272) Chequered startline area Banked curves x 7 Long curves x 16 Short curves x 3 Short straights x 11 Long Straights x 16 Brickwork look cardboard humpack bridge with logos of Shell, Ferodo, and Girling - it came in my original Scalextric Set 55 and is in very good condition despite being nearly 50 years old - it allows a figure of eight crossover like at the Fuji circuit There are also many 23 x haybales, 10 x cones and 63 x barriers of various types/colours, flagpoles and Start/Finish banner. There are also 4 x (C265) hand controllers and 3 x power supply transformers, a Scalextric C920, a Hammant & Morgan 'Victor' and a Triang unmarked one. I have the original box for Set 55 but it has no cardboard innards and has been repaired with parcel tape on all four corners. I even have a 1978 Scalextric catalogue - which was probbably the last time I thought about slot cars... Most of the metal track slots are dull after being in storage for 30+ years but if should all buff up OK, only two bits of track had tiny amounts of rust on them but they rubbed up OK, oh, and one 'straight' was a bit warped and although it levelled out it has bent the metal slots a bit so will need a bit of fettling to be perfect. This lots fills two suitcases so I'd prefer collection from RG12 (outskirts of Bracknell) but if you're near Croydon I can drop off when visiting family there or anywhere in between the two locations. Say £60 for the lot? NB: there are no actual cars included in this lot but if anyone really wants a Scalextric C1 Alpine Renault in very good condition, boxed with 'maintenance pamphlet' for £50 or a pair of pristine (seriously, they have barely been used) C125 Martini Porsche 935 cars in boxes (both price marked £5.75) with maintenance instructions and unused spare brushes for £50 send me a blatmail please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterg Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi Ed, email me the details of your contact in Croydon, it would have to be a Saturday morning for a drop off though as I don't get over there during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Interestingly, a mate of mine has the '55' set (complete - but box falling apart)... I've also got various bits of elderly track, haybales, the original switchable pits-complex, part of the original hillclimb track and various moth-eaten vintage brochures... Happy days!
