More like go-cart repair shop. Still a nice looking set.
Beautiful. And those baseplates *chef kiss*
I was just going to add, those old baseplates make every set better.
Love this set
Magnificent! Those old blue jacks need a comeback.
How wonderful these sets were... To me they are not onnly classic sets, but also reminder of the best years of my life. I was a kid with no worries, and able to get a couple of Lego sets every birthday.
I wasn't even born and I feel the nostalgia!
Magnificent! Everything about it is perfect, nine year old me probably asked for it at Christmas, but 43 year old me is going to find it and get it!
This was one of my favourite sets as a kid.... Well done Huwbot

These carts are so much better than what ever they put in 76126
"Great Scott!. We've got to get you BACK to 1985, Marty!"
This was perhaps my favorite set back in the 1980s. One of the roof windows (trans clear slopes) went missing though.
The baseplate catapults this set (and all the like ones) to another league compared with today's offerings.
What a charming set, so much more character than today’s equivalent.
I miss the base plates like this that connected to the road plates. The road plates were always overpriced (especially back then), but really helped keep my town connected (literally and figuratively).
I wish they’d be put back in sets.
Those itty bitty go-carts are adorable
The heavy trailer is probably the best part--very realistic, but not one specialized part used. Unlike most City trailers today that use a purpose-made part for the main body of the trailer.
And that jack. Probably one of my favorite LEGO elements. They can lift quite a bit of weight.
This looks similar to this year Tuning Workshop.
