LEGO MOC – 1967 Mini Cooper S Rally to Essex Boy Cooper S! (75894)

September 4, 2021 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

I’m a big fan of the 1967 Mini Cooper S Rally that came in set 75894. So much so that I decided to make it again in grey (the don’t make two of the parts it needs in dark green, or it would have been that). But I wasn’t happy with how it looked, so here’s how I modified the design to make me feel more at home in my native Essex. Bring on the Essex Boy Cooper S!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s been a while since I’ve done a parts haul, and for this one, I thought I’d get a bit Technic-al. Ok, LEGO Technic jokes aside this was a parts order to bulk up my limited parts in this area and so I can start to add movement to my Pirates of Barracuda Bay rollercoaster.
