Winter is coming here at The Lego Car Blog Towers. But whilst us North Northern Hemispherers are steeling ourselves for it getting dark by mid-afternoon and defrosting the car both before and after work, our readers in the Southern Hemisphere are getting ready to enjoy sunny summer days.
Cue the perfect car for the sunshine, and one – in the US at least – named after it; the lovely Honda CRX / Del Sol.
Produced when Honda were at their glorious peak, the CRX / Del Sol brought affordable, economical, reliable fun to the masses, and in targa form open-top motoring too.
This fabulous Technic recreation of the Del Sol captures the real car brilliantly, and comes from previous bloggee (and TLCB Master MOCer) Nico71.
Featuring a removable transverse 4-cylinder engine driven by the front wheels, working steering via ‘HOG’ and the wheel, rear suspension, opening doors, hood and trunk, and a stow-able targa top, Nico’s model is as luminous inside as out, and you can see more of his fantastic Technic Del Sol at his excellent website (where building instructions can also be found), and via the video below.
