Slot Racing Company Matra 670
Slot Racing Company have been promising for some time now to deliver a slot car that just about every slotter has wanted in their collection for ever, the Matra 670! One of the most amazing motorcars to race at Le Mans, the 670 dominated the event for 3 consecutive years 72 to 74. As you would expect from SRC and their historic connection with Fly, initial photos of the SRC 670 look very impressive, gearbox and cockpit detail look fantastic. I don't have a SRC in my line-up to date but the 670 will change that for sure.
