Team Slot SRE27 Ford Escort RS2000 Signal Amber - UK Limited Edition only 200. RRP £51.99
Arriving next month is this rather special UK Limited Edition RS2000.
The model is of the 1978 RS2000 in the photos, which was owned and driven by a certain member of the UK slot car community. The owner will - for the time being - remain anonymous. However, you might want to hazard a guess in the comments below.
The car features detailed painted wheels, new treaded tyres and the usual limited edition numbered plastic card and box back drop.
The car is available as a pre-order at both Pendle Slot Racing and MRE.
A big thanks to Steve at Staffs Slot Cars UK for the pictures, release details and gossip. Staffs Slot Cars distribute Team Slot in the UK and commissioned this limited edition model.

I'm sure cars used to be generally more colourful than they are now.

Not as exciting but a better representation of the colour maybe?

Just because I said it was 70's doesn't mean I don't like it!
Heck... I was made in the 70's!

I learnt to drive in a beige 1.1L version of this car in 1977...

The 200 cars will be arriving in the UK next week and all have been snapped up by retailers. If you want one, don't dilly-dally...
RRP is £51.99 - MRE and Pendles have the car on pre-order for a bit less than that - minus any loyalty discounts you might have. Personally, I'd order mine from MRE and ask Gary for a signed photo from 1978.
