Scalextric 1/32 Mini Cooper S C3640
The C3640 Scalextric model Mini Cooper is based upon the BRITAX sponsored car as raced by Steve Neal who finished in 9th place (5th in class) in the Wipac Trophy race, a round of the 1969 British Saloon Car Championship supporting the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Steve Neal, father of BTCC driver Matt Neal, regularly raced in 1968 and 1969 in a Morris Mini Cooper in the BSCC (British Saloon Car Championship - the fore-runner of BTCC). After racing for the Cooper Car Co., Neal gained a seat in a two-car Morris Mini Cooper S team in 1969. With team partner Gordon Spice and the Britax-Cooper-Downton team, Neal soon made the yellow and black Minis firm favourites with race fans.
