Usually I don't go in for fantasy liveries, but this one is so striking and the 1:1 car ran in so few liveries that I'm going to have to pick up at least two of these - one for the track and one for the shelf. I've been thinking of retiring my tired Capri from racing anyway and putting a Mustang on track instead, but after seeing this, well, this is going to be my next Group 5 contender. This particular Pennzoil livery is one of my all-time favorites. Scalextric released this livery on an R34 15 years ago. I have one of those but it's been a shelf queen. We don't have a class for me to race the Scaley in. I'll post a pic of the Scaley down below.

Let me see if I got this right. That chassis and yellow motor indicates this car is a new livery of one of the older models. The newer models have an orange motor and chassis with fewer adjustment points. Right?

[War Eagle River]

Correct, new model, same chassis as the other Skyline's they produced. This is a Group 5, I believe all of them come in this configuration. The GT models have the 'orange' motors. All have the same adjustment points.

[Mikeinclover]

No you are not correct, all Group 5 cars come with the yellow motor.ost of the GT cars come with the orange baby raptor.

Flat 6 20.5k (yellow motor) 5 point pod = Grp 5.
Baby Raptor 17k ( orange motor) 3 point pod = GT3.

Looks good - just wish there had been a Pennzoil Skyline Group 5 for real...

Not many liveries that this particular Nissan raced in. Body styles varied greatly. Here's one...
