SUMMERTIME CRUISE: T ARE THE CHAMPIONS

 
 
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the Tea Party up pops another T in a Circle plastic toy! And it's a beaut! CHAPION RACER model number 410B. I love the simple box art of the Porsche. And that looks like a Lambhorgini Marzal at the rear? The B in the model number suggests there was an A and I bet my last T and biscuit that it's the Marzal or maybe the yellow version of the Porsche. The racer is BIG, nearly a foot long and unusually for T it's remote-controlled [sadly part of the battery case is missing]. Now T made a living from cloning larger toy companies' stock so I wouldn't be surprised if this racer turns up in a Marx or similar box sometime. Watch out for even more T this summer - it'll be T-t-terrific!
