Scalextric Club champion

In 2009, i became the Scalextric club champion at the brooklands test hill challenge. I set the fastest times for a club member (19.49 seconds)  in a scalextric ford escort MK1 rs1600.



Adrian Norman phoned my dad to tell me I had won the competition. I was asked what prize do you want? i wanted the ford escort mk1 club car offer. As you have probably guessed, i love ford escorts and all other fords. They asked if we could write an article to go in the scalextric club magazine and add a photo. We typed it up, sent it on email then in the next club magazine we were in there. 

Quite few weeks later i got in the post my car and later followed by my certificate. I just thought that  the car would be the normal one but it had written on it " scalextric club champion 2009". I was very pleased.







Last year i went to the london international slot car show at crofton halls in orpington.i brought the car along with me to get valued. the first seller said he would pay £400. later we asked another seller. He said £500 then £600. i would never sell it but i just wanted to know how much it is worth.
