Instructions for a LEGO Rover

A LEGO rover involves pieces found in most LEGO sets, although many space themed sets have been released. Beginning in 1979 with the System Space line, the theme expanded to include LEGOLAND Space and UFO sets, among others. An official LEGO set released in 1984 includes instructions for a LEGO rover (complete with astronaut), which can be used as a base for this rover. A LEGO can be a meaningful addition to many collections.
