LEGO Set 76424 – Flying Ford Anglia Alternative Builds

Dive into customization
The Harry Potter–inspired Flying Ford Anglia isn’t just a magical ride through the skies—it’s also a treasure trove of unique parts waiting to be reimagined. From reconfiguring its classic curves to blending movie mash-ups, here are some standout ways builders have pushed this set beyond Platform 9¾.

1. Reinventing the chassis: Flatbed Truck

By repurposing the car’s undercarriage and side panels, hoppepe transformed the iconic Anglia into a rugged flatbed hauler. Swapping out the glimmering wings for sturdy panels and extending the rear platform creates a workhorse perfect for hauling cargo in any MOC scene.

2. Cinematic crossover: Johnny Cab Total Recall

EduViPe’s mash-up nods to classic sci-fi by reworking the Anglia into a futuristic taxi straight out of Total Recall. The build retains the car’s recognizable grille and headlights but adds mechanical arms and a reinforced cabin to evoke that dystopian feel. It’s a playful blend of two cult-favorite vehicles.

3. From car to mech: Transfiguration Ford Anglia Mech

bketnick took “transfiguration” literally, deconstructing the Anglia into modular limbs and joints. The resulting mech stands tall, pistons and panels repurposed from the original car body. This build showcases how technic-inspired techniques can turn a civilian vehicle into a battle-ready robot.

Tips for your own alternative builds

• Play with scale: Combine Technic liftarms with standard bricks to bulk up your design.

• Embrace color blocking: Use contrasting panels for a striking new palette.

• Modular approach: Design sub-assemblies (like wings or doors) that can swap between different MOCs.

• Storytelling: Think about the narrative—are you hauling cargo, patrolling a futuristic city, or battling magical creatures?
