1/32 scale slot car, ready to run on all 1/32 scale non-digital tracks. Yes, we know it's supposed to be right-hand drive, not left-hand. So does Scalextric.
In 1962, the car was set to race in the Goodwood Easter Monday Trophy Race with Stirling Moss driving. Moss practiced in the car on the Saturday, but he never drove it on the Easter Monday due to his near fatal accident in a Lotus that weekend. Interestingly, the car’s second race in England was at Silverstone on May 12th,driven by Masten Gregory (race No.30) to 2nd place in the “International Scalextric Trophy” race. After its appearance at Goodwood in 1998, it made a second outing in 1999, as part of Moss’s 70th birthday celebration. The car, in its light green livery and tribute No.7 racing roundel, was driven by Sir Stirling Moss and Tony Dron to an appreciative audience.
In 2000 the car was sold for an incredible eight million US dollars. (The record, around that time, was around 10 mil for a 1957 Testa Rossa.) What do you suppose you could save on insuring a car that expensive by switching your policy to Geico? Actually, your agent would probably run screaming from the room. Another advantage of collecting rare cars in 1/32 scale.
Owners Harry Leventis and Tim Samways entered this pale green 1962 250 GTO, s/n 3505GT, at the 1998 Goodwood Revival Meeting. The car (race no.14) was driven by the always fast journalist Tony Dron and F2-pilot Ian Flux.
