Most of us will never win Le Mans. Even fewer will own a vintage Ford GT40 without selling a vital organ. Enter the LEGO Technic 1966 Ford GT40 MKII (£64.99). It’s the perfect solution for the petrolhead with champagne tastes and a lemonade budget.

With 793 pieces, this desktop legend features a working V8 engine (guaranteed not to leak oil) and functional steering controlled by a knob on the roof. Clad in menacing black and silver livery, it looks fast even when parked next to your stapler. Build it, display it, and make “vroom” noises when your boss isn’t looking.
