| 3rd October – We are happy to announce that it is TRRC's 1st anniversary of trading, producing slot cars and kits of cars from the pre-war era. We would like to thank all of our customers for your support over the past year and look forward to continued success so we can release more cars from this great period in motoring history. Some of you will note that we have decided not to pursue the manufacture of BMW Art cars so we can concentrate on pre-war releases. We are also happy to announce that there will be a second series of Grand Prix cars which can be viewed from the buttons at the bottom of the page. This brings our total number of planned releases to 27. The plan is to release 9 new cars a year. In our 1st we have only released 7 cars, as we were unprepared for the high demand for cars from this era but hope to make up for this in the coming year.
