Vintage Wrenn Formula 152 Electric Motor Racing Set
This lot offers a vintage Wrenn Formula 152 electric motor racing set, presented in a wooden case with a blue lined interior. The set includes a yellow racing car, green plastic track ramps and fittings, red wound components, and a quantity of curved and straight grey track sections. A Wrenn Formula 152 Triple Electric Motor Racing Manual, priced 4d, is also included. The Formula 152 range was produced by Wrenn, and the contents reflect the familiar style of mid-century electric racing sets, with metal track rails and coloured plastic accessories.
Condition and Collector Appeal
The contents show general signs of age and use, including wear to the track sections and rust spotting along several of the metal rails. The wooden case also shows wear. The manual shows its age, and the components appear to be original to the set. Completeness and working order have not been confirmed, so prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the lot carefully before bidding. The set may appeal to collectors of vintage Wrenn items, British toy racing enthusiasts and those interested in mid-century slot car and electric racing sets, particularly as a project or for display.
