Obviously, the lighted Positraction cars came with lights. Why they all didn't remains a mystery, but clearly Matchbox felt differentiation was worthwhile. The first up is the Saab Turbo (163601 - above). This has a spectacular livery. Not quite as adventurous as the Powertrack Plus version but quite bold non the less. Doubtless this photo has sent Saabists off in a delirium and they are now busy selling shares to fund its purchase...
And the perennial BMW gets a fresh look too (163701 - above). Sort of BMWish, but the silver needed to be white to be truly convincing. Note the Powertrack script on the rear spoiler is the UK Powertrack version, not the planned US script.
And the burly Jay-ge-waargh gets a rude reminder of its BL ownership too. (163801 - above). The Jag is white and dark green, with light green decals. I'm just not enamoured with some of these cars, the liveries are ill conceived - that said, some of them are significantly prettier than the Powertrack Plus versions that were to come.
