“This set is a little different from the other hobby set cars as Lego attempted to add detail to the interior by putting in a steering wheel. It looks great in white, the matching white wheels compliment the body nicely contrasting against the black mudguards. I would like to... More get enough parts to make another, but modify it to make the Rolls Royce armored car from the First World War. The red solid wheels would be perfect. These early sets have a style that really appears to me.”
