Our take on the Scalextric 1963 AC Shelby Cobra 289 Bill Shepherd #47 COB289 1:32 Slot Race Car C4338

A 1:32 scale slot car of the green Shelby Cobra 289, car 47, as raced by Bill Shepherd at Goodwood. It is a high-detail model with front and rear lights, Magnatraction for grip and an easy-change guide blade. It fits Scalextric ARC AIR and ARC ONE out of the box, and needs a digital chip for ARC PRO. It suits collectors and historic-racing fans more than young children, who will find the small parts and adult finish less forgiving than a basic starter car.

Questions and answers

Does it work with my ARC PRO digital layout?
Yes, but only with a digital chip installed. It ships without one and is not DPR-ready, so you have to fit the chip yourself.
Do the lights work on the track?
Yes. Front and rear lights are fitted and run off the track power, so no batteries are needed.
Is it a good first slot car for a child?
It is aimed at adults and older hobbyists. The detail parts are delicate and the box lists 5+, but a simpler starter car is a safer first buy.
What comes in the box?
Just the car. No track, controller, power supply or decal sheet is included.
How does it compare with a standard Scalextric Cobra?
It adds the licensed Bill Shepherd livery, lights and Magnatraction over a plain release, and it is a high-detail model rather than a basic club car.
Can I change the guide blade?
Yes. It uses an easy-change guide blade, so worn blades swap out without dismantling the chassis.
