Brickset
A realistic looking racer with plenty of unique parts — “This is an awesome classic vehicle set, though not big and over detailed like the others, this one has no printed parts, and still loks just like a Formula-1 Racer! The set has a spoiler and fender, as well as a cockpit, with alternate color to represent a seat. There is a... More windshield and a large detailed engine, with the rare solid stud cylinders. The engine is probably the coolest feature. This set is just plain simple and just plain cool. Now it is overly expensive due to its rarity, but the set is not lacking.”

About LEGOLAND Town

The LEGO LEGOLAND theme, introduced in the 1970s and continuing into the 1980s, comprised sets that replicated everyday scenes, vehicles, and buildings in a more simplistic style than later themes. These sets, pre-dating the minifigure era, were designed to represent various aspects of life, from towns to vehicles to castles. The LEGOLAND theme was foundational in the evolution of LEGO, bridging the gap between basic brick building and the more themed, narrative-driven sets that would become standard in subsequent years.

Town consists of 11 sets that ran from 1972 to 1978. As of today, 1555-2 Sterling Airways Aircraft is the most valuable Town set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $2,195.
