TEXACO F1 143730 (US ONLY)


The Texaco is pretty much as the Elf F1. In fact, they share the same moulding.
Both cars appeared at launch in 1977 but were deleted by 1979. Given the small number of cars available compared to other slot racing systems, this deletion seems to be a tad detrimental to expanding the range of accessories available.

The Texaco looked smart though, which is no small feat given its an uninspiring colour and livery. The car started off with white wheels but soon adopted the traditional grey five spokers.

Again, there is an early prototype version that is virtually identical but with dark grey wheels.
