C4423 Scalextric Lotus 79 USA GP West 1979 Mario Andretti, #1 1:32 Slot Car
One of the most ground breaking F1 cars of all time, the ground effect Lotus 79 had proved to be the class of the field in 1978. However, by 1979 it had been outclassed and it was a much more difficult season. The iconic black and gold JPS livery was also gone, replaced by the green livery with Martini stripes and additional sponsorship from Tissot watches. The USA West GP saw Mario Andretti finish in 4th position, just behind the two dominant Ferraris and the Williams of Alan Jones.
The Scalextric Lotus 79 comes in a display case and is supplied with spare pick-up braids.
