Item Year Information

YEAR	INFORMATION
1989	With working head and tail lights. Cars tearing round a circuit headlights aglow, add a great extra dimension to Scalextric racing, especially when viewed in a darkened room. The effect of red tail lights or working brakelights takes the imagination even further. Cars with lights have varying specifications - check what you want against the car captions.
1991	All the cars are fitted with working headlights. Some have tail lights while others have brake lights which come on only when the hand throttle trigger is released to slow the car down. Check the symbols shown against each model.
1992	Racing in the dark is exciting, skillful and a tremendous amount of fun. The cars on these pages all feature headlights, some have tail lights, some others have brake lights and cars such as the Lamborghini Diablo have all three types of lighting. Check the symbols against each model to see the features of each. All Scalextric cars with lights are suitable for use with the C.268 Permalite Control Unit.
