Powertrack Plus 18v cars
The later cars ran on the same type track but with different voltage 18v, higher spec chassis known as HVT, they had an integrated magnet which helped them stay on the track, they ran faster than the 6v Cars and had a special start track/controllers and power unit as well as sets that featured a jump, crossovers, LH and RH intersections, crossroads borrowed from the Speedtrack sets and even a loop track.
Sets were produced, PP2000, PP3000, PP6000 and PP9000. The cars in the sets were quite common, but the additional cars are quite rare and werent readily available. The PP139, 140,141,142 and PP143 are all the rarest cars.
Bodyshells shared mostly the same moulds as the 6v cars except for the Red porsche, which had a later improved shell. Unusually the prototype shown on the catalogue depicts a MK1 shell in red based on the german police porsche.
