#772 Scalextric – Chevrolet Montecarlo “Cooper” (Ref. 6021) (1998)

The NASCAR racing has never been pop inwards Spain, likely neither inwards other European countries. It surprises me that Scalextric all the same launched this model inwards 1998, existence the kickoff NASCAR racer inwards the whole history of the brand.

Tecnitoys somehow decided to bid on this novel cast, possibly every bit an endeavour to cheque what would survive the reply to such an exotic racer, in addition to inwards 1998, they launched references 6020 in addition to 6021, the Chevrolet Montecarlo inwards “Du Pont” in addition to “Cooper” decorations.

The “Du Pont” version is much to a greater extent than colourful in addition to nicer to the eye, piece the “Cooper” colours are much to a greater extent than elegant. There would all the same come upwards a 3rd version which is referred every bit “55 mph” inwards 1999 amongst the reference 6030.

Those are the exclusively iii models that part cast. Tecnitoys would introduce a few years latee (in 2006) an improved shape for this model, amongst 8 unlike decorations betwixt that twelvemonth in addition to 2008. I am non certain if they were always sold inwards Scalextric boxes, or exclusively inwards SCX boxes for the unusual markets. Probably they made practiced sales inwards the USA in addition to other countries where the popularity of this entitle is bigger.

The auto is ultra-light (cames amongst an SRS2 chassis) in addition to the trunk is hollow in addition to missing every unnecessary detail. Despite this, I intend the NASCAR cars are genuinely similar that possibly it is fifty-fifty an accurate reproduction of the existent car.
