Another great review! Glad you enjoy the car ☺

Nice review, iconic car indeed. I wilm probably pick one up at some point. The only issue I see is the space to put aftermarket wheels on it. I noticed on a lot of new Scalextric chassis they don't have the capacity for aftermarket parts.

That’s a quick little car Lee Always like hearing the connection the cars have with people 🍻

Never enough of you and beer! 😉 My mom had a rabbit in the 70's and she let me drive it on occasion. What a blast to drive, so much fun. She never found out how much fun I had driving it. Some secrets are best kept. LOL Good on ya mate!

A pint on the moors, wife at work! Great! Love the review, keep ‘em coming mate!

Thank you Lee. Great review! I love the Anglia. I saw them a lot in my youth in Holland. A lot of cars were given nicknames back in the days. The Anglia's and Citroëns Break were called 'Jan met de pet'. Translated in English that would be 'John with the hood'. What about that?

Super nerdy VW enthusiast moment: to be that colour and have the steels and the longer wrap around bumpers it must be a one year only 1979/80 but that's a 1977 number plate :)

The Golf used to be popular here is US. Thanks for the review!🏁

Brilliant review buddy. I also had a Vauxhall Chevette in the late 80’s early 90’s

Nice review Lee, nor a car for me but very enjoyable all the same buddy, well done again 👍👍👍

Thanks for the review Lee ,I would buy this car if they brought out a race or rally version. Now that the mould is made ,im sure scalextric will play with different versions and liverys over the next year 🤗

The Golf is looking good on track for the shape of the body!!!! Thanks for the review Lee! And thanks for the signs and logos along the backstraight🙏🤜🤛🙏

No need to feel out of your comfort zone Lee, nicely presented review of an absolute classic. Well done indeed 👍

It looks bloody Amazing buddy 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Had several real Ford Anglia’s in my time…all had to have the obligatory 5.5J wheels and Peco backbox…..Maroon colour was usually on 1200 cc Super versions. 😁👍🏼

Great review Lee and the type there should be more of. Yes it's good to see the working's of the car, but as most of us do.... Out of the box and on the track, can't be anymore honest. Keep up the good work mate.

Hi. Years ago I joined a Scalextri racing club , it really opened my eyes. The amount of work that I had to do to be competitive was incredible. Grinding tyres to slicks adding small lead weights and putting superglue on the front tyres so they could slide inside the front arches. All the little tricks that I learned was great fun. But the preparation did take time. I had about forty cars in my garage and most of them were adapted to run on the club track. It all sounds a bit involved but I had a great time. I really like the Anglia, it looks very nice.

You could turn this into a figure 8 very easily. It would make it so your lane lengths would be equal. Of course your 2 lane changers allow you to take your preferred lane in each of the big corners.

G'day Lee, i'm a 66 boy and that is my kinda car, plenty around here in Australia when I was a lad but Dad always had Ford Falcons (plenty of room for us kids) so thanks for the track test as Scalextric's advertising doesn't do it justice and as I don't get out anymore I rely on you guys for my info.. Cheers mate.

Great review Lee, especially as it has some special memories for you 👍

Nice car but... I think a magnetless test would be more fun!

Fantastic job Lee. It’s people like you that help keep me interested in the hobby.

Great review, Lee! We're pleased you like the car 😊 Keep up the great videos 👍 For those wondering why it isn't DPR, there simply isn't enough room. We will always make a car DPR when there is room to do so.

Love the magnet and fillings joke … cracked up 🤣

Great review Lee. I'm same vintage as yourself and living in Australia have seen my fair share of Anglia's in my time. Top marks to Scalextric to gifting you one for your collection. You did them a great service reviewing it and I was quite surprised at how quick & quiet it was on your track. May have to source one for myself down here after seeing your review. Cheers mate Gary.

Nice review Lee Bit disappointed to hear there is no DPR panel, is that because of the size of the car? 🍻Mal

Sorry you felt out of your comfort zone. You did absolutely great. Like you I am more of an admirer of slot cars than a hobbyist, so it was nice to get a review without having to listen about the intricate details that will not make a shilling worth of difference to me. That being said, I do admire those guys who present that type of review because of their dedication to the hobby. The layout is looking wonderful, and I am enjoying your changes and progress. Good on ya mate! 👍😁 PS: Must still be hot in the shed, because you are wearing less and less clothes. Next video could be very revealing. LOL

Awesome Buddy It’s all about having Fun

Mate , I wish scalextric would do us a favour by making much better cars with better quality & all cars given a test before they are sent out aa they cost to much for what you get . Sorry Lee but couldn’t let that go without saying something BUT I am glad that your enjoying the hobby

Nice little car.

Just saw a Ford Anglia on a Usa tv show called American Pickers. The owner was planning a rebuild for it. Fascinating car and yes the slot car also!🏁

Great review Lee . These will look great racing against one of scalextrics minis ...I'd remove the magnets and stick some weight in ..I'm waiting until a brighter racing livery comes available and I'd definitely buy it 🤗 you did great Lee 👍

You have done a cracking job for a review. Giving the majority of racers without a huge layout your honest opinion of an unusual car. Not everyone needs to know what compound the tyres are made from so I think you have done yourself proud. Well done.

Lovely work there mate. Very well done. A perfect build for a bespoke solution.

Great review 👍

Track scenery looks fantastic! It’s good to see a SCX slot car, I’ve become quite a fan of the Brand and my collection has grown. Not every slot car needs to be a NSR or RevoSlot for you to enjoy the hobby. Great show Lee, keep it going!

Very nice review there Lee!!!!! It's the first car my dad owned and I really like the color!!!!!!!

Well done Lee, a nice straightforward review, with a sentimental perspective thrown in 👍 by the way you must be cooking in the shed with the foil insulation 😮

Well done mate. Entertaining and informative

Nice one Lee.....going to put it in my wish list.Cheers.

Thank you for the excellent review of this interesting and very nice running car. My wife and daughter in law are big fans of Harry Potter, so it goes without saying that I have pre-ordered that version, Lol!

Great review buddy,I'm sure Scalextric will be more than happy. Good looking car and as you said the colour is very much of its time. Good work my friend 👍👍👍

Glad you like them! 😁

"..and took quite a lot of swearing actually" 😂 I know the feeling! Great result though - and that painted backdrop looks incredible.

looks amazing! Nice work!

Beautiful Lee, well deserved. Can't wait to see the cars being reviewed and taken round your track ❤ keep up the good work. 🎉

Looking good

That stairs looks awesome Lee 👌 very impressive work ,and the control tower looks amazing all painted up 👍

Awesome effort scratch building the stairway up to the Race Control Centre. Painting it with an airbrush and compressor would have saved you a good amount of time, but nice job anyway.
