red brings us a beautiful of a 1930s racing car. This is one of those creations you have to look at twice to be sure it really is LEGO. Everywhere you look you’re rewarded with brilliant building or nice parts usage — from the gorgeous shaping, through to the touches of detail like the brown rims on the wheels (built with chain links) and the excellent tiara-based hood ornament.

A view from the rear highlights more of the fabulous detail in this model. Just look at the wonderful dashboard and all the mechanical gubbins around the gearstick and rear axle.

The car also has a detailed engine lurking beneath its bonnet. All-in-all this is an excellent model, one I’d happily put in a display case and stare at for hours.
