"Test Shots" are the rarest Slot Cars made.
The factory would generally "hand paint" and ideal and take it to a hobby show (to see the response) or send it to a sponsor like Ferrari, Williams, McLaren, etc. to get approval before manufacturing.
No one knows how many may have been made, but it is generally thought to only be a few.
Enjoy the pictures from my collection and a friend, as they may be the only ones you ever see.
