Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289 Dragon Snake vs Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289 Snake Eyes

Both are 1:32 Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289s from the 2021 Goodwood Revival, sharing Magnatraction, working lights and easy-change pick-ups. The Dragon Snake (C4418) is the more distinctive livery and a drag-racing legend turned circuit car; the Snake Eyes (C4417) carries the Martin Brundle connection and a documented inline drivetrain with 9:27 gearing. Pick on looks and the story you want on the shelf, not on performance, since the chassis and running gear are effectively the same.

• Choose the Dragon Snake if you want the purple drag-racing Cobra with the Jordan Racing Team conversion story and Mike Whitaker and Mike Jordan on the doors.
• Choose the Snake Eyes if you want the silver Martin Brundle and Bobby Verdon-Roe car with its documented inline motor and 9:27 gearing.
