Swift Alternator was one of 4 Cars in the last Final Lap singles case (K) - the others were Hooman, Coriander Widetrack, and Derek Decal Dobbs... The Final Lap series was a Target exclusive in the US; distribution of Final Lap cases left a lot to be desired.

One of these days I intend to do a series of articles on the Final Lap series.

Nice addition with the International cardback Race Damaged King, djjd21... Race Damaged King was one of my favorite Cars in the ROR series.

Wow! Very smart. We recently bought the US one, not knowing this one came out in the UK.

Which Race O Rama cars only came out in the US or put it another way, which ones were not released in the UK/Europe?

Thanks,
Nigel

As far as I remember, ROR Case F, with Impound Wingo, was not released in the UK/Europe... I received the previous cases Chase Cars (and other Cars) from rippers.

In answer to your question Nigel,these are what I believe never got released in the uk/Europe.

Cactus lightning McQueen
Tongue lightning McQueen
Lightning ramone
Old school ramone
Nitroade pitty
Vitoline pitty
Andrea
Patti
Todd
Mini
Impound wingo
Chuck manifold

That's off the top of my head,there maybe 1 or 2 more but that's the majority of them.
Here's a link to the full list of international cards from ROR through to the piston cup nights lenticular series,although there are cards missing from that series in particular.

^^^That's awesome! We still use the Plastic Tokyo Mater from the playset when we play, but the Tokyo Mater that Santa brought last Christmas stays in the box for display! I bet he was pretty excited about getting a Jerry Hauler. Two years later, my son is still playing with it.

@Bobbyjack - I woke up this morning & he's out in our lounge room with all his haulers (5) lined up in a row showing them off to us!

Fabulous additions and a great photo, OzzieMum! Thanks for sharing!

Found 3 of the 4 new Radiator Springs Classic singles at the Muncie (Indiana) TRU today:









So much for thinking I wasn't going to buy them all - Mario Andretti is on the way from a friend in northern Indiana.
