Variously called Tarago in Australia (aftr a small, obscure town close to where I lived), Space Runner and all manner of other weird names - Toyota space-aged people mover looked out of this world compared to other Japanese vans of the time.
While my family was stuck with a plain white breadloaf - other families in my suburb were ferried in two-tone burgundy and silver Taragos with moon-roofs, bucket seats, alloy wheels and all sorts of other spacey equipment denied Urvaners.
When you look at the early Taragos now they seem so skinny, upright, and undr-tyred, but at the tim they looked like they wer light-years into the future.
This Lego model has been created in Lego Digital Designer for Flickr LUGNuts 35th build challenge - 'Big in Japan' - celebrating cars, bikes and trucks from the Japanese automakers.
