This model is sold as used.
The Scalextric Jordan Peugeot 197 #12 (model C2080) is a classic slot car that mimics the Formula 1 car of Giancarlo Fisichella from the 1997 season. Because this model has been out of production for quite some time, it is mainly offered "used" (second-hand) on collection sites and auction sites.
Key specifications and characteristics
Driver & Number: Giancarlo Fisichella, start number #12.
Livery: The recognizable bright yellow "snake" livery with the snake head on the car's nose.
Technique: It is an analog model at scale 1:32, equipped with an inline motor and "magnatraction" for better road holding through a magnet.
Compatibility: Works on all standard analogue 1:32 racetracks (such as Scalextric Sport/Classic, Carrera Evolution, Ninco).
What to look for in a "Used" purchase
For a used copy, there are some specific points to check:
Tyres: The original tyres may dry out or show wear and tear over time. Replacement tyres are often still available from specialists.
Components: F1 models are vulnerable. Check that the front and rear wing and mirrors are still intact, as they often break down in crashes.
Tow contacts (Braids): With a second-hand model, these are often worn or dirty. New "easy-fit" guide blades or loose braids are essential for good performance.
