Specialists in obsolete and collectable Scalextric and other slot car ranges...
Westwood Models was started by myself, Robert Learmouth with later help from my partner Karen. The business has it roots
back in 1991 when I joined the NSCC following a childhood spent obsessed with Scalextric. In order to finance my
rapidly growing collection I started dealing in spare cars. This grew over the years until in 1999 things were put on
a formal footing with the creation of Westwood Models.
For many years I juggled running Westwood Models with a full-time job as an IT consultant. This became increasingly
difficult as time went on and in May 2003 I left the world of IT to concentrate full-time on slot cars. At this point
I also set-up Slotbug which is the business I now concentrate on while Karen looks after Westwood Models.
Scalextric is, was and probably always will be the main product line of Westwood Models.
However these days there are many fine alternative ranges on the market and you will find a useful selection of
Fly and Ninco available too.
Westwood Models is part of a 3-way slot car alliance. All 3 businesses are independently
owned and operated. Each operation has a different focus on the world of slot cars and we believe this ensures customer
requirements are serviced in the best possible way:
Slot City - New release and current catalogue cars, track and accessories from mainstream suppliers such
as Scalextric, Carrera, Fly, Ninco, Revell and SCX. Full on-line ordering.
Slotbug - Specialists in new old stock and repro restoration spares. Also stockists of the smaller and harder to
find ranges such as Pink-Kar, Reprotec, Spirit, Vanquish etc etc. Full on-line ordering.
