Welcome to our small world of MG racing. It started with a present of a Scalextric Mighty Metro set and has grown from there. There are a few commercial MG models with the Scalextric Metro, Maestro and Lola being the most commonly available. Team Slot make a poor 6R4 and there are a small number of plastic kits that have or will be converted to slot cars. Due to a very limited budget, cars have mainly been obtained from car boot sales and the like with a few new parts to replace worn and damaged items. Most models are based on Scalextric originals but other makes like Ninco and SFX have been obtained via the internet and models have been based on these, some using the Ninco Classic Wire Wheels, like the MG TD. We have obtained the Scalextric MG Lola Le Mans cars but have yet to built one of the 1960's MGB Le Mans cars.

1/32 scale slot or static models of MGs that we don't have, in any condition. If you can help please contact JAK at ufo@area51b.freeserve.co.uk

Thanks to Sean for his help with the original Maestro, wire wheels and other various spares during the past year and also the helpful advice. He provides a quick and easy mail order service.

Mark Scale has provided a few cars including the MG Lolas that he was able to supply before Christmas 2002 when no one else could. He has a quick and easy to use mail order system.

Patto's Place for Decals and vacumn bodies of many types of cars. He created the additional decals required to model the No. 34 2001 Le Mans Lola

Thanks to Mini Online members Mr D and Simon who provided the picture and information about the MG Mini.

WARNINGS

Monk Bar Model Shop, York
For those who live in the area this shop may be main dealers for Scalextric but their knowledge is limited. Also when I required a set of tyres and gear wheel for a car they tried to sell them separately instead of offering a spares pack which contains wheels, tyres, axle and gear at nearly half the price. They were not prepared to try and obtain specific parts from Scalextric.

Scalextric have a good website showing "all" their current range. They also list the spare parts that are available. The problem is that you cannot get hold of these spares. Most shops, like that named above, don't want the hassle of trying to obtain them, but Scalextric wont supply those shops that would stock them like Pendle, or even their customers direct. I was told in Jan 2002 that I couldn't have spares for the Beetle or Caterham/Lotus 7 ranges because they didn't make these models any more....
