Scalextric - Celebrating 50 Years of MGB - Limited
Edition
Product Code: C3270A
Features:
First launched in May 1962, the MGB became the epitome
of the modern British sportscar. The affordable MGB spawned many variants
along the way; from a car originally intended to be a two seater replacement
for the hugely successful MGA.
The GT version was announced in
October 1965 and was an overnight success. The MGB was an all-new car in
many respects and was distinguished by its unitary body and chassis
structure. The monocoque construction allowed engineers more scope with
design and layout of the passenger compartment. The racing pedigree of the
MGB swiftly emerged and the success that these, often only moderately tuned,
MGBs had in racing, serves as testimony to their balance of performance and
reliability.
In celebration of 50 incredible years of MGB and the
legacy it imprints within British automotive history, Scalextric presents a
tribute to the class win at the 1966 Targa Florio road race for the works
MGB roadster, registration GRX 307D, known as ‘Old Faithful’ – because it
never failed. Driven by Timo Makinen and John Rhodes, the MGB finished 1st
in the 1600cc class and 9th overall, with only the likes of Ferrari and
Porsche ahead.
