This little car was an iconic British Classic crying out for a makeover. Well, it got one! With its high gloss metallic paint job and new looking tyres, wheels and windscreen, it has become a sight to behold. This video is the first to showcase my 'Diamond Class' Polish machine. Baremetal eat your heart out!

Great job Marty. Shame about the burnt face. Surprised you didn't paint the front headlights & grille. I am sure this will inspire many to have a go.👍

@Scottie_S 5 жыл бұрын

I tried painting the headlights on this particular car. The ridge lines for the headlights aren't great and I ended up with silver paint all over the place even though I used a micro brush. The original didn't have them, so I just decided to do what Marty did here and spray the lot.

@TheRealDrJoey 5 жыл бұрын

@@Scottie_S Thanks, 'cause I was also wondering about doing something with the headlights. I still think the bumpers would have looked good. I also think Marty should have foregone the metallic paint. I thought another thin coat of the high gloss would have looked way better. The clear windows was unusual, and came out unreal after polishing. While he was polishing that with the q-tip the thought occurred to me that maybe Marty ought to see if his wife has any manicurist's nail buffing cream. Possibly that and a chamois buffer would work pretty well.

@Scottie_S 5 жыл бұрын

@@TheRealDrJoey Well, the metallic fleck was in the gloss, so he was going to get that one way or the other. I didn't mind the look of it. Also, considering what Marty appropriates from his wife, your suggestion is spot on!

Great job as usual and more entertaining than the other Matchbox restorers on KZfaq. I have plenty of old Matchbox vehicles and you have given me the encouragement to try restoring them. Keep up the good work and greetings from Sugar Land, Texas USA (the sweetest town in the Lone Star state).

I discovered these videos a few weeks ago and I must say, they are excellent. I've never had an interest in restoring Matchbox models but Marty's Matchbox Makeovers have me fascinated in the process. His vocal delivery, editing and the occasional whimsical insert are marvellous. I find watching them surprisingly relaxing. A great experience. Keep it up, Marty. They're neat! As a 60+ year old, I remember when these models came out and must have played with a quite few of them. So much nostalgia.

First of your videos I have seen. I had a matchbox car identical to this as a young boy in the 60's, though my memory is that it was green. I played with that car until it fell apart. I also raced an E type on highway 9 in Massachusetts in 1981 on my Honda motorcycle in the night. I did not see much besides his tail lights. One of my favorite cars ever. Truly iconic. Thank you for bringing so many memories back!

As a 1/43 scale collector, i was invited to a private house in England a few months ago. The lady of the house showed me her late husband's collection of over 14,000 ...yes---14,000 Matchbox brand only collection. And every model still had its box. Apparently, the collector received a matchbox for his 3rd birthday and then the little guy was hooked. Boxes and all. All in all it took 61 years to amass . Matchbox also made him a special 50th Birthday Box with a VW Combi in it. The combi is from stock. the box --PRICELESS!

@garyedwards3269 5 жыл бұрын

When I was growing up in Portland Oregon, I had that exact Jaguar XKE from Matchbox in 1962. I was about 6 years old then and it was my first Matchbox toy. I started to collect them after that but eventually switched to Hot Wheels like the rest of the kids. Vance, the older kid next door, had a white Shelby Mustang from Matchbox that you could turn the front wheels with. Very cool at the time. He eventually got Hot Wheels as well and his collection was always the best. Vance never left that house. He became a backyard mechanic and started collecting real cars. Whenever I would google our house, there was Vance's house surrounded by cars. A year or two ago, I went to Portland to visit Vance along with my dad and two brothers but sadly, his widow told us he had passed away three years before. I realized then that knowing that Vance was still living there next to our old house had been a source of comfort over the years. It was like I could always return home. But with Vance gone, there's only strangers living in the neighborhood now and what our whole family always considered as 'home' is gone with a sure finality. Don't put off revisiting old friends. They're gone too soon sometimes. R.I.P. Vance.
