About Vehicle

From the London Bus to the caravan

Many of these sets are drawn from ordinary street life. The London Bus is listed twice, as 384-1 from 1973 with 111 pieces and as 760-2 from 1975 with 110 pieces. Car and Caravan (379-2, 1972, 93 pieces) captures the family holiday, while Breakdown Truck and Car (382-1) and Wrecker with Car (710-1), both from 1973 with 91 pieces each, show the recovery trade. Bus Stop (696-1) from 1976 adds a small roadside scene with 80 pieces.

Largest builds in the range

Piece counts stay modest throughout. The top spot goes to Photo Safari (699-1) from 1977 with 130 pieces, just ahead of Refrigerator Truck and Trailer (375-3) from 1971 with 127. Nothing in the range goes much beyond that, which reflects how vehicles were built at the time: simple bricks, plates and wheels, no minifigures and few specialised parts. That simplicity is part of the charm: a handful of bricks is enough to suggest a double-decker or a caravan, and the models still read clearly today.

Why these sets still appeal

For collectors, Vehicle is a manageable way into vintage Legoland, with enough variety to fill a shelf. For builders, the small, basic models are ideal for recreating from a mixed collection of older bricks. Each set page on Bricoria carries the complete parts list, and the What can I build? tool checks which of these vehicles your own sets already cover. Since several sets share subjects, such as the two London Bus listings or the two recovery vehicles, it pays to search by set number when you are tracking down a specific model.
