Lucky find!

Got these two in an auction yesterday. Pretty rare, and in great condition. They look to be the 1966 release, but no later than 1969. The Watson is worth doing a mold from I think.Image

Nice scores. If you do decide to cast it...I won't object :)

I really like the Watson. Good idea to make a cast of it.

Imagine a whole fleet of them in historic liveries.

Nice cars.
Both Scalextric, made in their Hong-Kong factory. Fairly common in the UK. Repro decals are still available.

I have been restoring a couple of the Watsons and am short a couple of the exhausts.
Any clues on where I might find a couple? Will there be casts of those? As mentioned the decals are available but no pipes.
Great condition, great cars.
