The Third Way
Volkswagen’s Type 1 (Beetle) and Type 2 (Transporter) are recreated in Lego bricks on a daily basis. They have been turned into official LEGO sets, built in life-size, and are recognised the world...

Fast Running Camel
Cheap ubiquitous ‘Peoples’ Cars’ have a habit of becoming off-roaders. There are Baja Beetles, beach buggy Beetles, the Mini Moke, and – if those are too fast for you – the Citroen Mehari. Based on...

Man-ic Monday
From the world’s biggest land vehicle to one of the littlest, and the official World Record holder for the smallest road-legal production car ever made. The Peel P50 was built for just a few years in...

Champagne Chevy Nova*
We like rusty cars here at The Lego Car Blog. The staff car park features several. Although in those cases the rust is due to neglect, age, and general decrepitness rather than some kind of rat-rod...

Got Wood?
Yes we do today. A lot of it. Cue a default title that still makes us snigger – because we’re children, and a car called a Willys, which also makes us snigger – because we’re children. Previous...

Build-a-Batmobile
Batman hasn’t always been dark and moody. There was a time when he was a little more… flamboyant. These were his wheels from that more festive era; the Lincoln Futura-based, George Barris-designed...

Seventies Stripes
That’s probably not what the ‘SS’ part of the Chevrolet Chevelle SS’s name stood for, but it may as well have been if you’re a TLCB Elf. They really like stripes. This magnificent fully RC recreation...

Whole Lotta Lada
We like crap cars here at TLCB. The office car park features several. OK, by ‘like’, we mean ‘own’, but we do genuinely like it when they’re built from Lego bricks. This is one such crap car, the Lada...

Bugzilla
There were Elves everywhere. This morning has been a stressful one here in TLCB Towers. Maybe we got complacent. Maybe we thought the Elves had wised up to the threat of remote control creations. Or...

Captain Pugwash
LEGO have produced several Porsche 911 sets, from Speed Champions to Technic, but there’s still room for fan-made models of the famous rear-engined sports car. This is one of them, a beautifully built...

Pill Bug
Small, grey, and shaped like a ball, Michael Jasper‘s 5-wide Volkswagen Beetle looks a picture of simplicity. Not so inside, where some seriously cunning techniques have been used to turn LEGO’s...

Get Your Bricks on Route 66
This wonderful vintage Route 66 scene was found by one of our Elves on Flickr, and it comes from the collaborative efforts of previous bloggee Dornbi and TLCB debutant Bricking Robo. A gloriously...

Chasseurs de Fantômes
We don’t know what a French ghost looks like (it’d probably be smoking, with an attractive accent, and a penchant for striped jumpers), but we do know that if the Ghostbusters were French they’d...

Small Brits
Over one in three Americans are obese, but TLCB’s home nation isn’t far behind, with 28% of the population being medically categorised as ‘chunkadunk’. Today though, we have two really small Brits,...

Bean’s Nemesis
Superman and Lex Luther. Batman and Joker. Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. Peter Griffin and the Giant Chicken. There are some very famous nemesis, but – in this writer’s opinion – none more so than...

My Other Car’s a Mustang
The Ford Mustang and Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia are two iconic ’60s coupes. However, whilst one was (in its day) a powerful, large-engined muscle car for the masses, the other… wasn’t. With the...

The Speediest Champion
Is there a car more perfect for LEGO’s new 8-wide Speed Champions range than the Ferrari F40? The most iconic Ferrari ever made has appeared in Creator form, but not yet as an 8-wide set. We’re sure...

Cotton Communism
From one iconic classic to another, although this one perhaps for very different reasons… The Trabant 601 was a reasonable little car when it first launched in the 1960s, despite the shortage of metal...

Swedish Brick
We recently wrote a post about things that TLCB Elves like, so today we’re jumping straight to a thing that we like, and ignoring the Elves completely. They’re rather annoyed by this of course, but...

We’ve Got Gas
Well, Thomas Gion aka HotDogSandwiches does, in the form of this marvellous 1960s Chevrolet Nova ‘Gasser’ style drag racer. Thomas’s Speed Champions scale build features removable front bodywork, a...
