"Float! Float! Float! ...OLIVER!!!" - Richard Hammond

 

A Speed Champions MOC of Richard Hammond's beloved Oliver, the 1963 Opel Kadett featured on Top Gear's beyond-iconic Botswana Special as well as the DriveTribe YouTube channel.

 

Building a LEGO car in tan is unusual, so I took inspiration from NV_Carmocs' Top Gear Triumph Herald for the fenders and lower-side region. I'm extremely happy with the final result, although rather unfortunately Oliver appears very big and tall next to other 8-wide cars, since he uses the same size tires.

 

Oliver fits three minifigures (two in front, one in the rear seats) and comes with two pairs of license plates, "OLI V3R" from when he originally imported the car back to the UK and the "ANP 210A" plates the car has on it present-day. File for the license plates (to print on sticker paper) is included with purchase of instructions.
