One of the most iconic cars of all time is now available at Scalextric! Synonymous with New York, the Checker taxi cab is as much a part of the Big Apple as the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building and Manhattan Island. For the city that never sleeps, 24-hour transportation is essential, and the fleets of Checker cabs running from the early 1960s to the late 80s provided that. Also a star of TV and film, the Checker Cab is a piece of automotive history every Scalextric enthusiast needs.
