Penguin - 1982

            This is the 1982 update of the very first series design car designed by me (lego911). I named this car 'Penguin' - I don't know why. This car was nominally based on the Nissan Pulsar/Sunny from the time.

The car has been designed to accomodate four Lego minfigs (only in existance for four years at this point).

I designed the car with help from my friend Nathan H. Nathan no longer builds Lego cars though.

With close examination it can be seen the early seeds of DNA that still manifest themselves in the Lego vehicles I build today. In 1982 door hinges were achieved using 1*4 brick hinges (found in a number of sets). The luggage compartment lid is hinged using technic pins (friction once available) and 1*2 technic bricks.

My mother though, was not s excited about Lego cars driving around on the table - so it was still a few more years before the early Lego911 cars featured suspension of any type.

This Lego model has been created using Lego Digital Designer for Flick LUGNuts 43rd build challenge - 'Plus or Minus Ten' - celebrating vehicles built ten years before or after the birth year of the model designer. In this case I have chosen to build the car from my collection from the year I turned 10 - 1982.
