The Fly Car Model Marcos LM600 #8 "Páginas Amarillas" (reference number PA1 / A28) is a 1:32 scale model slotcar.

Collector value
Because Fly Car Model released this specific version as a Limited Edition at the time, the car has now become completely out of production. In its original condition (with the well-known crystal clear display box) the model occasionally still pops up online via platforms such as eBay or specialized slotcar webshops.
The Real Car
The real racing car behind this slotcar model is the Marcos Mantara LM600. The specific version with starting number #8 and the "Páginas Amarillas" livery was driven by the Spanish drivers Puig and Camp during the Spanish GT championship (Campeonato de España GT) in 2001.
The Marcos LM600 was a brutal appearance on the circuit at the time and was known for its extreme appearance and roaring engine noise.
Technical specifications of the real LM600:
Engine: A monstrous, front-mounted 6.0-litre Chevrolet small-block V8 (atmospheric).
Power: Depending on the adjustment and restrictors, this block delivered between 575 and more than 600 hp.
Weight: Only about 960 kg, thanks in part to a tube chassis and a body of carbon fiber/composite.
Transmission: Hewland manual sequential 6-speed transmission that sent all force to the rear wheels.
Racing background
Although the small-scale British brand Marcos Engineering experienced financially severe weather in the late '90s and was acquired by Dutch investors, the LM600s (developed by racing team Cor Euser) remained very competitive in national GT championships in the early 2000s. In the 2001 Spanish GT Championship, the brutal V8 car managed to take multiple victories and podiums in a field dominated by cars such as the Porsche 911 GT3 and the Ferrari 360 Modena.
