BUM (Barcelona Universal Models) started in November 1993 as a distributor of military and fantasy lead made scale models. In April 1994 they added the distribution in Spain of the English slot car company MRRC. In 1995 they started their own line of slot cars with a metallic chassis and resin body. The first one was the awesome Mercedes 196 S (1954), and it was followed by the Lancia D50 and the 1937 Auto Union (record hunter), all of them had never been done before. It is in the owner tradition to do things in the right way, he has been four times European champion plus other important results during his long slot car racer life (he started in 1977) and was the founder of U.E.S. (Union Europea Slot) until his retirement in1985.
These cars are not only original but they allow us think we are one of the glorious drivers of the past. This first batch of cars was done again but in resin, with a better finishing quality and using the universal BUM chassis, developed and built in plastic. So, you have not only very accurate replicas but also better driving conditions than with the metallic chassis and fiberglass cars.
The following models were Maserati 250 F (1957) and the famous Lotus 49 (1968) in Jim Clark last F-1 race and the Gold Leaf version (1969) with which Graham Hill got the world championship in 1969 .(This model was approved by his son (Damon Hill).
In the sedan category, BUMSLOT has done the Golf GTI, Seat Toledo Marathon, Fiat "Cinquecento", Seat 1500 from the 60´s, and Lotus Seven, Alpine street-GR3-GR4 y GR5.
In Sport- Prototypes, Porsche 90813 and Alfa Romeo 33T3, from the beginning of the 70´s, Jaguar D winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1955, Matra 670c , and the first own plastic injection the WOLF WR-1.
BUMSLOT only builds a limited number of cars of every model, 300 each of every decoration and this is certified. So, if you buy any of these wonderful cars, you will be part of the very exclusive group of BUM slot cars owners.
