Lego Volvo 244 at the Maker Faire
16.08.2023
We have already reported on the subject of Volvo and Lego at various occasions.
Another creative project that shows what you can do with a discarded Volvo 244 can be found at the Maker Faire, which takes place in Hanover in mid-August.
The Maker Faire crew invites you to get creative with an old Volvo using LEGO bricks
Several years ago, Daniel Rohlfing - director of the Maker Faire Germany - had the idea to buy a disused vintage car and turn it into a LEGO playground to produce a sustainable highlight for the Maker Faires. So in 2016, the Maker Faire crew bought an old Volvo 244, which was offered as a hobby car and was originally registered in France.
Even then, the car was no longer roadworthy, but it was far too good to be slaughtered. So, with a little love and a lot of LEGO plates, it was converted into an individual classic. For this purpose, many LEGO bricks were bought on the net, which are placed in two large boxes next to the car at every Maker Faire Hanover (and in the past also Berlin), so that you can let off steam creatively.
Every year, the Volvo inspires young and old alike and numerous funny creations have already been made, but they only ever lasted until Sunday evening. At every new Maker Faire, the Volvo is once again shiny and waiting for your ideas!
