Description

An old car, quickly built

The model shows a classic car from the early days of motoring, with a boxy body and exposed wheels. With just 115 pieces in 23 different types it is a compact build that can be finished in an afternoon. The small number of types is what keeps it clear: while building, you can quickly see which brick does which job in the car, and you can carry that idea over to vehicles of your own design.

Red, black, blue and yellow

These four colours define the set. Red is what most people expect from a vintage car, black provides wheels and contrast, and blue and yellow add further accents. The mix is typical of the seventies, when a few strong core colours were all a set needed. The parts list on this page shows every type with its colour and quantity, so before you build or collect anything you can see exactly what belongs in the box.

For play and for collecting

A car of this size is sturdy enough to roll across a table and small enough to take almost no space on a shelf. Because it belongs to the range with people, it was meant as part of a bigger play world, perhaps next to a road or a house. Collectors like early sets such as this because they show how much vehicle could come from a few standard bricks, without prints or special moulds.

Recombining the parts

Take the car apart and you are left with versatile bricks that suit other vehicles or small scenes. The "What can I build?" tool on this page checks which models you could make from your own collection if you add these parts to it. That turns an old set into a source of ideas for new builds, and the list helps you spot gaps before you go searching for bricks or placing an order.
