This is a custom build of the Reliant Regal Supervan III, as seen in British sitcom Only Fools and Horses... it's in the style of the 8-wide Speed Champions series, but as it's quite a dinky van I've made it 7-wide so it looks in scale. Approx size is 16 x 6.5 x 8cm.
As you'd expect from the theme, it's packed with details and clever techniques, from the distinctively shaped bonnet to the fluffy dice dangling in the windshield.
The instructions have been iteratively designed and tested to ensure a smooth and enjoyable build, and feature plenty of submodels and callouts.
The headlights have two options - I like the look of the 4 lamps, but I later realised I was working from non-canon reference pictures, so added an alternative step for a more accurate front! To finish it up I have got stickers printed up replicating the livery and both number plates used through the show's run.
You will receive the parts to build the model, and a sheet of stickers, and the instructions will be emailed to you in PDF format. The parts will be premium clone parts produced by Gobricks, which are very similar to Lego quality and colour, and are fully compatible.

Spare parts are not included unless required for an alternative build. I check every Lego set, and do my best to make sure every piece is correct and present! If there are any issues, don’t hesitate to get in touch and I’ll sort them out. I strive for accuracy but if there's a discrepancy between the photograph and item title or description, please message me to double check before purchasing!
Some of the Bionicle socket connectors may have a hairline crack at the top, but I ensure that every one holds well. I will not use parts that feel loose, or have that wider crack near the base of the socket which will only get worse over time.
Rubber bands may be replaced with a matched non-Lego equivalent - these are the ones I sell and have many positive reviews! Vintage sets may have required parts replacing with newer equivalent parts. Sometimes these colours don’t match perfectly, particularly the whites which can yellow over time, but I’ll aim to match the replacements as closely as I can, and I’ll always use the vintage colours such as Light and Dark Grey, and not replace them with Light Bluish Grey and Dark Bluish Grey.
I do not retrobrite sun-yellowed parts, I will only replace. I have performed a lot of experimentation with this technique only to find they become yellow again after some time, and don’t want to sell parts where this will happen!
Sets may be sent built or partially built. If you require it to be fully dismantled please leave a note when you place the order. Where possible I’ll try to avoid separating Bionicle ball joints due to their fragile nature.
