Capri Racing
I picked this set up at a car show recently. Never even knew this existed until I saw it, nice item actually, they cars are motorised kits. Not sure of the year yet.

Wow, nice find Paul
Must be early to mid 70's?
Is there a track with it or just the cars?
Battery not included Nothing has changed.

Re: Capri Racing
Thanks Andy. There isn't a track, I think you just build the cars, and race them against each other, haven't had chance to play yet Was just a shock seeing this as I was never even aware it existed.

Re: Capri Racing
Nice find there Paul , can’t say I have ever seen them . Did a toy fair a few years ago and the box can double the price of a car .

Re: Capri Racing
That's really is a nice find, there can't be many of those left and to find one boxed is a stroke of luck.
I believe that they were made by Nitto and introduced in 1977.

Re: Capri Racing
Thanks Andrew, yes it is a nice curious item, I was lucky to find it before anyone else, there were plenty of Capri's at this particular show. And for just 19 of your fine English Pounds (as Henry Cole would say), I got the set so I thought it was worth it.
