Scalextric Ferrari GT E4 in Green

Scalextric Ferrari GT E4 in Green from the 1960s. This French model is the same as the English Scalextric C69 model but with working lights.

Back in the early 60s when Tri-Ang took over Minimodels they opened a new Scalextric factory in Calais, France to gain access to the European market. Before 1968 the French factory relied heavily on British moulds and produced cars identical to their UK counterparts. However colours were not strictly controlled, or even catalogued, so they often used whatever coloured plastics they had to hand. Hence these early French models can turn up in unusual colours that are extremely difficult to find.
