We love slow, strange, European oddities here at The Lego Car Blog. Probably because we are one. This is one such curiosity, the Piaggio Ape, depicted here in MP-600 form.

‘MP’ stood for ‘Motore Posteriore’ (rear engine), whilst ‘600’ denoted the 600bhp it produced. Kidding. It wasn’t even 600cc. Or half that…

Like we said, sloooow. But we love Apes nonetheless, and thus this excellent Town-style version by Jordan Parmegiani is one of our favourite creations of the year so far.

A scooter in the load bed makes Jordan’s build even more Italian, and you can meander through narrow streets somewhere in Italy via the link above.
