Ideal for first-time racers, this is the perfect retro gift for youngsters aged four and up. And it isn’t just young boys who love this toy, as plenty of girls also enjoy the competitive element of the game. 

It is also a great toy for children to bond with their elders, as their parents and grandparents probably also played with Scalextric during their childhood.

Released to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the iconic James Bond film, Goldfinger, this Aston Martin DB5 model is the ideal present for movie enthusiasts.

It came out last year, and the CORGI model has proved to be especially popular with the company releasing a re-issued version of the original 1965 working model.

Other new versions, such as the No Time to Die model, are also available from Corgi’s official UK site and other retailers.
