32 models, 30 match-ups and now it's the final, the chance for glory, immortality and the possibility (limited) for a Special Scalextric Celebration Talking Utter Slot Box Set of the winner. Maybe.

It's the Bluesmobile from The Blues Brothers movie up against the three tiny Mini Coopers from the original (and best) Italian Job movie. Two highly quotable comedy classics, America vs Britain.

May the best slot car win!

The semis!

32 entries whittled down to just four, all just two wins away from taking the title.

It's America vs Britain in both semis and the models all represent TV shows or Films from over 40 years ago.

Semi-final 1 : Inspector Morse Jaguar vs The Blues Bros Bluesmobile

Semi-final 2 : Starsky & Hutch Ford Torino vs The Italian Job Mini Coopers

Who will make it to the final, are the staff down in Margate at Scalextric HQ running a sweepstake, will Nick do his Aretha Franklin impersonation?

All will be answered in this episode of my favourite slot car podcast.

We're into the Quarter-finals, just tow wins away from the title.

In this episode there's talk of the TV & Film models we'd like to see made, reminiscences of Britain's first multiplex in Milton Keynes and 'Shagger' Morse who beat off Mr Bean (!)

The grandfather of all TV & Film slot cars, the 1967 James Bond Aston Martin, is still in the running, but can it;s rarity see off the modern detail of the challengers?

And of course there's four key head-to-heads:

Quarter-final 1 : John Wick Plymouth Barracuda.

Quarter-final 2 : The Blues Bros Bluesmobile vs Back To The Future DeLorean

Quarter-final 3 : Starsky & Hutch Ford Torino vs James Bond Aston Martin DB4 GT

Quarter-final 4 : Captain Scarlet SPV vs The Italian Job Mini Coopers

Remember, there are no easy games at this level.
