My first ever LEGO set was this Roadster*. I add the asterisk because it was not actually this roadster. Mine was Mitchell Mouse, not Moe, and not Michael. I am trying to find the pieces to mine, because I remember the doors, and the body being red. The same color as the chassis.
My instructions are long gone, however in one of my boxes of instructions in my storage shed there are pieces of this booklet.
Does anyone else recall their set being named Mitchell? I cannot find anything to back ups this claim other than mine and my father’s memory of it.
If they were also sold unnamed it is possible my dad named him Mitchell (after the fishing gear) and after 45 years we assumed that he came named. Thank you for the links, I will be looking and seeing if there is more information that I do not know.
I need to go into my storage shed and get out my LEGO bag and see if I can find any of the pieces. Only the chassis, doors, and windscreen are unique to this set/series. Everything else is (from memory) 2x4 bricks.
