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!

Quarter-finals : It's A Scalextric TV & Film Slot Car Knockout
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.
