Vintage Matchbox PowerTrack Lap Counter

This vintage Matchbox PowerTrack lap counter, model PT-221, is a racing accessory designed to track laps during play. The unit has an orange roof panel above a red and white striped front, with the GTX name displayed prominently in the centre. Two numbered lane indicators, marked 1 and 2 with arrows, sit either side of a clock-style display, and the Matchbox logo appears beneath it. A green lead is attached to the unit, and the box describes it as having an illuminated display board. The lap counter stands on a white base and is offered with its original box, which carries multilingual text reading PowerTrack, Circuit Electrique, TurboRennen and Turbosprint, along with advertising artwork featuring Shell and Texaco.

Condition, Originality and Collector Appeal

The lap counter shows general signs of age and handling, and the box has edge wear and creasing. A retail price sticker reading £6.95 and a Beatties label are visible on the box. The lap counter is not confirmed complete or working, and its electrical function has not been tested. The item is offered as seen. Its interest lies in its presentation with the original box, which carries the model number PT-221 and the Matchbox branding. Collectors of vintage Matchbox PowerTrack accessories and boxed Matchbox items may find it of interest.
