Item Year Information

YEAR	INFORMATION
1979	This new addition to the Scalextric range is the latest in a long line of successful racing cars from the Ferrari team. Until 1978, when they lost the honour to the Lotus team, Ferrari had won more Grans Prix then any other marque of racing car; but there is no doubt that they will be fighting hard to regain the title in 1979. Ferrari won the World Championship in 1975 and 1977 with the irrepressible Niki Lauder as their driver, Ferrari surprised the racing world by switching from Goodyear to Michelin tyres.
1980	Another magnificent thoroughbred from the Ferrari stables. running throughout the 78 season on Michelin tyres Ferrari put up some fine performances. The T3 won 4 Grand Prix victories during that season. Ferrari have continued to make a tremendous impact on the racing scene during 1979.
1981	This particular car flew the flag for Ferrari during the 1978 and early 1979 Grand Prix seasons. "312T3" stands for 3 litre, 12 cylinders, 'transverse' gearbox in the 3rd redesign of the body.
1982	Always presenting a strong challenge in any Grand Prix the Ferrari team have in recent years won the World Championship in 1975, 1977 & 1979. The 312T3 won four Grand Prix victories during 1978 its main racing season. An attractively decorated model the 312T3 is presented in the typical red Ferrari livery with white contrasts. The Michelin name features strongly in the decoration due to Ferrari switching to Michelin tyres for the 1978 season and subsequently remaining with them. The real-life 312T3, unlike the Scalextric model, was extremely heavy on tyres and this created considerable problems for the team. With its chrome effect wheels and the silvered engine this model will make a fine addition to any collection.
