MG Vanquish also produce excellent 1/32nd scale Can Am "Slot Cars" and
they are a blast to drive. Here are a couple I have, Derek Bell, Castrol Mclaren M8B. Jackie Stewart, L&M Lola. Reine Wisell, Roman Brio Lola. Pedro Rodriguez, Platipus BRM 167 and Derek Bell Gulf Mirage. Great looking cars I just wish Vanquish produced the Can Am Ferrari.

Right on, Au Rouge! I'll second the vote for the Vanquish MG slot cars. They're great fun to drive, especially with the traction magnet removed. These cars are unique among slot cars in that they feature an actual working real differential. Though I've never experienced any trouble with my cars ( I have five VMG's), they were largely panned by the slot car crowd because of troubles with the diff and also for being slightly larger than 1:32 and therefore out of scale. A shame, I say, as I think they're fine runners.

Here's Denny Hulme's 1969 McLaren M8B:

And the Mirage M6/Ford Cosworth of Derek Bell and Mike Hailwood from the 1973 Spa 1000kms.
