The Home of Slot Car Racing. First introduced in 1957, Scalextric has become one of the industry leaders in slot car racing. Throughout its 66-year history, Scalextric has offered exciting sets, realistic models and more. Slot cars began with basic electric tinplate cars, improving to the current highly detailed plastic models in 1960. With new ideas and technology constantly progressing the hobby, there will be many more journeys to come. The bright yellow New York taxi from Live and Let Die adds a fun twist to the world of James Bond vehicles. While not a glamorous spy car, the classic Checker-style cab became part of one of the film’s most memorable chase sequences as Bond is trailed through the busy streets of Manhattan. Its boxy shape, wide grille, and practical, hard-working design made it a familiar sight on 1970s city roads, and its appearance in the movie helped ground the action in a lively, real-world setting. This model recreates the taxi’s look with clean detailing, from the front bumper guards to the roof-mounted taxi sign. It’s an unexpected but charming addition for Bond fans, film-car collectors, and anyone who enjoys the character and nostalgia of classic American city machines. 1:32 scale., Manufacturer: Hornby Hobbies Ltd
