Fans of the Caterham Seven 620R car will now be able to build their very own model, thanks to LEGO.
The new set from LEGO Ideas boasts 771 pieces, a replica 620R engine and gear stick, engine cover, removable nose cone, steering wheel, an opening boot and axle stands.
Carl Greatrix, fan designer, said: “One of the most exhilarating drives I’ve ever had was out on the track in a Caterham Seven. It is brutally fast due to its lightweight and tremendous fun to be in. It really struck a chord in my heart that I never forgot."
Henrik Andersen, LEGO designer, added: “Carl really did a great job of converting the real car’s shape into a LEGO version as both the sloping front and the hood are really complex.”
Fans will be able to get their hands on the set from October 1st, for $79.99.
