Thanks!
Yes, I did wonder if the lego stud bits might prove the trickier bit. I guess that is why they are not relying on studs to hold the actual car. I'm happy to attempt some trial and error to dial it in, but assume there is an approach to this to follow.
Sadly I think £2k is out of my birthday budget! more like to be taking a zero off that!

I would look at an already assembled model if it's your first one and check if there are forums or
reddits for that model so you can ask questions if something goes wrong.
Not recommending this model in particular just that kind of style. Maybe watch some
reviews to get a feel for what the issues with various models might be. There always are some. -
Lego is notorious for dimensional tolerance, most 3d printer, fdm type, at the budget end will really struggle to make studs that work. Resin maybe but not really familiar with them.
If your on a budget buy the smallest build plate that does what you need it to do. Bigger on cheaper machines = more room for error.
I have an older ender 3, has enough mods to make it useful (repeatable results and decent speed) . Stock it would work, but drive you insane with issues

Those display stands are relatively straightforward: You'd need to dial in the settings a bit to get the Lego studs fitting nicely and there might be some overhang where the wheels go but should be fine.
The printer I have access to is an ultimaker 2+ which are not cheap at around 2k. I'm not sure what other machines are out there.
I'm isolating right now but in a few days I could do a test print and see how it comes out.
