Coopz1962 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I have a vintage scalextric set from early in Triang years. The box states Moedl GP.0 but on the scalextric History records I found on another site it states that the Grand Prix Series was issued from 1960 as GP.1, GP.2 and GP.3. Bit confused./media/tinymce_upload/37d30f0bcd53ebc6b4bcbff93124a158.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/aafdd7d20108b9b76a2ab9ef9028e80c.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/453301b0b2d72d3ef5d2f290856a96a3.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/7ca924e58b485794fb7b72d9f7a9a40c.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodcote Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi Coopz1962 - welcome to the forum! That's a lovely set! I looked in Adrian Norman and Roger Gillham's "Scalextric - The Ultimate Guide" and the 1961 GP1 set is also listed as GP0. It is the same set with the same box art. However, there's a note to say the usual contents are 2 x C54 Lotus 16 cars, although the set has also been seen with 2 x C63 Lotus 21 cars. As your set has the Lotus 21s, perhaps that explains the change in designation to GP0? Lotus 16s = GP1, Lotus 21s = GP0? Adrian or the NSCC might give you a definitive answer. Hope that helps.
