Looking for lotus slot cars

[slipstream]

I collect 1/32 and 1/24 scale slot cars from the 60's and 70's. Cars, complete or well used, parts, some track and accessories.

Especially interested in Lotus slots: monogram 1/24 Lotus 38 and 1/32 Lotus 33, Cox 1/24 Lotus 30/40, Revell 1/24 Lotus 23 and 25, Scalextric 1/24 Lotus 38 (sometimes called Lotus Indy or Indy Racer), Strombecker 1/24 Lotus 30 and 29, 1/32 Lotus 30 and Lotus 38, Polistil/Policars 1/32 Lotus Europa and others.

Please PM

Do you have any pictures of the ones you have. It sounds like a cool thing to collect.

Check out Sports Car World in Evant Texas. Frank has, along with a large collection of Lotus bits, a thriving slot car buisness.
I think there is a link on the SCW website which takes you to the slots.
If you call him tell him Al in Houston sent you. (I still need a few more parts for the Esprit). :rolleyes:

Thanks, Al. I've known Frank there for maybe 15 or so years. Bought/sold/traded a fair number of slot cars from/to/with him. Bought a few Europa parts when I owned those cars, and we even had a few hybrid trades where some vintage slots (ex. a 1/32 Strombecker Indy Lotus set, near mint) were traded by me to him in return for a credit for Lotus Europa parts.

I'd be afraid to race the little buggers. They look fragile.
