Bruce Ordered MORE!

Postby ddyke » Fri Oct 11, 2013 4:39 am

Scalextric Lotus 49B C3413 $44.99
He got six but they are gone, BUT he ordered more. This is a historic car - it was the last privateer to win an F1 race (can't remember with or without wings). It was owned by Walker racing (Johnny Walker sponsored it). Here is the quote from Wikipedia - "In 1968, Siffert drove into the F1 history books by winning the 1968 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch in Rob Walker Racing Team's Lotus 49B, beating Chris Amon's Ferrari into second place after a race-long battle. This is regarded as the last GP victory by a genuine privateer." That win was no fluke - look who and what finished 2nd!

It is a beautiful car.
