Tyco Valvoline #1 on the Dark Blue, Blue, Green and Yellow.
Both of these Williams were manufactured by Tyco. The "pointed nose" on the left was made in the Singapore factory, but was never released. The "sharknose" on the right was the first that was made by Tyco and was one of two made before the sell to Mattel.
The Williams on the left is always missing the "A" arms.
Both of these cars are Tomy Turbo Camel # 12 F1 Cars. They are identical with two exceptions. The one on the left is the Japanese released "pointed roll bar" version which is done with "translucent" yellow plastic, while the right cars has the "square roll bar" on yellow plastic.
This is the collection of Tyco Lotus # 12 F1 cars.
The one to the far left and far right are the two dark versions.
The two in the middle are the light versions.
The one pointed nose car in the middle is closer to yellow than orange.

AFX McLaren's #1 1976 to 1983
Few people realize there are three versions of this car. The Tiger S. Solo with and without the scoop and the version with out those sponsors and with a scoop.
The picture below was sent to me by a collector indicating another collecting opportunity. Note the placement of the graphics on the rear wing of the car on the left plus ALL the graphics are a different size.
Tyco Pennzoil #4 Chaparral. The three types of plastic it was made on.
The yellow, the translucent yellow and the white plastic.
These are pictures of the EXTREMELY RARE AND EXPENSIVE Kmart Indy Car.
What makes this one rare are the DECALS. Look at the edges where I have placed the pointers to identify the edge of the decals. An oversea's friend sent me these pictures!
I believe it was a limited addition European release.
Below is a picture of the cas with no decals and no "A" arms. Although mine is not worth much, it is as close as I have gotten to finding one.
AFX Ferrari #2 has two versions. The left car is extremely rare (Not in Circulation) and is on dark red plastic with a clear windshield. Right car is red with blue windshield and is common. Pictures were taken at different times in different lighting, but you can still see the difference.
AFX Tyrrell P34 #4 was made in five versions which included the Blue and White First National City Tyrrell.
Shown are four P34 blue versions:
Left: Stenciled version
Above Left: Standard Sticker version
Above Center: With the Scoop, Stencil & Stickers
Above Right: Extremely Rare version with No Scoop
Tyco Budweiser #3 Dark and Light
This picture was provided to me to by Niklas Lofroth from Sweden. They are in his collection and he sent me the pictures for the site.
It is a difficult pair to find as you are never aware of which one you are looking for and ebay pictures are never true representations of the actual color.

The Tyco Valvoline #1 Indy car was produced on five different colors of plastic. This upper picture shows three of the five. The picture below shows four of the five in the collection. I am still missing one color.
Collecting HO Slot Cars is my hobby, but I only like cars that raced. My collection is primarily F1 & Indy cars, but I will continue to add to it.
