Glad you mention Marty, i'm watching you both!

She is a Beauty! Huge respect for your shout outs to Marty and Bare, two more of my favourite KZfaqrs.

That looks BETTER than it did when brand new. I have a particular attachment to this model - I was given one when on holiday in Scotland, in 1966, when I was three. It's about as far back as I can remember. At the hotel we stayed at, were some slightly older kids, one of whom had the CORGI 'Sharknose' Ferrari, which they let me play with. On their last day, their dad gave me the Matchbox Ferrari to remember them by. That sort of thing you never forget.

Love Marty's stuff! Always watch his videos to the end as there's usually bloopers that include stuff like drops, injuries, swearing, etc.

Hats off to Marty for being so generous in lending out his wife's toothbrush. What a guy.

Beautiful. 50 years ago I had one of these & it was one of my favourite toys. 😃

Beautiful! I was a kid in the early/mid 1960s and have fond memories of my beautifully-made old Matchbox cars. True quality and value. I actually still have my old Land Rover Safari and would love to have a real Series II to go with it.

Marty’s wife is extremely generous with her toothbrush. Awesome restoration attention to detail is excellent. You have a new subscriber

I found Marty by mistake - now I'm here and I'm hooked! Great restoration job!

Especially I like the credits you gave to Marty! He seems to inspire many of the KZfaq die cast restorers. BTW: Great job you did on the Lesney Ferrari!

Turned out great! You make it look easy. Thanks for sharing your process.

I've watched a ton of Marty's videos and just discovered yours. Nice to see it done with products readily available in America.

Great Job! This Ferrari which i played with incessantly along with both the Eight-Wheeled Crane Truck and Hoveringham Eight-Wheeled Dump Truck,were my very first Matchbox's my parents bought me from a store somewhere on the Ocean City, NJ boardwalk back in '64. Thanks for the memories!

Marty is awesome. Thanks for the video!

Nice restoration, details and paint job 👍👍

A very warm feeling is to hear one of those run. The smell of raw fuel and percussion shaking dust out of the ceiling. Ahhh!

lol - martys wifes dentist bill must be astronomical!! another great resto and luv that you gave a shout out to your cronies in the matchbox/hotwheels community - i find it soo cool and to see these old gems brought back, or modded - not too mention the variety from old classics, muscle cars and i even like the import cars being worked on - i guess my luv of full size cars applies to my luv of 1:64 cars too! - again great work man, who doesnt luv a red ferrari

Thank you for sharing your passion and talent. Reflecting on these videos reinforces the appreciation of time and experience of life

What an excellent sensitive restoration! As an old Englishman it reminds me so much of my childhood! Well done...

Such a gorgeous Ferrari. Looks factory fresh. I agree, it is a diamond in the rough.

Had one of these when they first came out. Matchbox were all very nice. Good to see this one here having a life again.

The real 1962 Ferrari F1 was truly a remarkable race car. The overall design of the car gave one the impression it was moving, despite the fact, it was standing still. A very loud engine with twin exhaust, the car won numerous racing events. However, like many earlier F1 race cars of this period of time, speed, not safety, was the order of the day. We lost many great drivers because of the very poor safety standards of the day. Not only the cars, but the tracks as well. Still, this was my favorite time period of racing. The drivers, the cars, the tracks and the beautiful women. It was truly a playboy sort of sport, with this devil may care bravado. Drivers rarely ever went to a wreck unless it was to try a save a friend. I had this 1962 Matchbox Ferrari F1. Oh I was probably about 4 or 5. I remember how beautiful that red was and those gorgeous wire wheels. The driver, as I recall, looked awesome. With his helmet and goggles. I dreamed about racing with that car. Played with it endlessly until I got bored. Of all my most favorite Matchbox cars, this Ferrari F1 was indeed my favorite. It just had this wow or cool factor the other cars didn't have. To prove my point. Later when hot wheels became more popular, I raced my Ferrari F1 against my friends Hemi Cuda and spanked him badly in the loop. We raced three times. I won all 3 and his Cuda. That little Ferrari F1 was and is amazing. Hopefully one day, I'll find one to display. Great video🚘

so cool you gave a shout out to marty (and his wife's toothbrush 😄). the car looks awesome, nice to see you branch out into matchboxes.

Great looking car! Shout out’s to Marty (another one of my favorites) and his wife’s toothbrush had me laughing out loud. Next you’ll have remote control tanks running through your house and yard.😆

You'd be amazed how fast a broken drill bit goes through a finger! At last, a restoration with a decent paint finish!

Man I love you tube,where else you get stuff like this, which could be a tv series.

I had one of those as a boy, early 1960s. Great to see it again!

This came out great as I remember this one from "back in the day". There's also a Lotus Indy car that I used to buy quite often, it was painted "British racing green". Love to see that one again.

if I couldn't see it myself, I don’t believe it... It's amazing, congratulations!

Great job on this, with good attention to detail. Congratulations!

Matchbox are da bomb. And the sharknose Ferrari is fantastic. Good job.

I have a vague idea to had one of these,,,, very vague but persistant. Very beautiful resto&car. Congrats.

Nice job, Shark Nose Ferrari was always something special.

This is so very cool! You did an awesome job! Shout out to Marty!

Nice to see a old school ferrari getting her form of glory back! Nice restoration as always.

As usual a really great job. But me, I'm a sucker for those old classics, and I love them when they're beat up like that. There's just something about them looking rough and played with that's beautiful-- having said that, the restoration looks great. Looking forward to the sweet 16!

That came out perfect! I love it!

That looks absolutely stunning! Great job on a beautiful Ferrari race car.

Most enjoyable. Lovely resto.

Love this - absolutely beautiful work!

Awesome video!! You, Marty's and Baremetal are my go to channels for die cast restorations!!

that is a nice restoration, thanks for showing

I’m speechless, it’s so perfect i don’t know how to describe it great!

Amazing restoration love the colour well done 👍.

Randomly ran across your channel via this video. I have this little Ferrari. Always been one of my favorite Matchboxes. Subscribed, I had no idea "Matchbox restoration" was a hobby, but I love it.

A beautiful restoration, beautifully executed!

Yeah Marty is fantastic. Excited to see the results you get.

I didn't know that you could mix enamel paint with lacquer thinner. Good to know! Thank you for your excellent video!

I always feel like I'm watching a Bob Ross video when I watch these. ❤

I have 1 of these that I got in a small bulk lot. It has been painted light blue and has the word LOVE and a flower drawn on it. I can't wait to restore it.

I have one of these racecars on a vintage keychain. You can run the chain right through the nose. I love watching this video restoration. I purchased two more of these Lesney Ferrari 73s on eBay today for about $11 each shipped. Maybe I will restore one someday but the cost is prohibitive. By the time you buy all these paints, strippers, lacquer thinner and decals you have $70 in the little car. Of coarse you have enough product to restore a couple dozen lol. eBay always has these ranging from $5.99 to $175.00 depending on condition.

I love Matchbox cars great job on restoring the car and using Marty’s wife toothbrush 👍

AMAZING restoration!!!You got magic hands!

Hey there, nice job. Sorry to compare but you and Marty have a similar narrative, clear concise and no BS. Makes for very easy viewing. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

I had no time to watch this... like, I did not want to, initially.... But I ended up watching the whole video and taking notes!! Man, Good Job!

#1: It's a Ferrari #2: I really love those wheels #3: It's really cheap (Unused) #4: It looks like a kazoo.

Enjoyable video. Nice job! Thanks

Shout out to Marty!!

I think your restoration was excellent. However, I fully agree with what you said at the end of the video, leaving it all original. A good washing and leaving it the way it was. Great video.

What a nice little car ! Thanks for posting.

Superb work sir, great video.

I think old one (in bad condition) has its sharm. But you did a great job.

Turned out amazing I agree beat up version will look nice next to the restored

love it I have a mint sharknose with the little white driver nice restoration thanks

I think I have one of those, cool to see it restored!

What a great restore. Great car. Thanks.

Great job! I found one this past summer for $5 at a flea market in nice shape, but missing the steering wheel and driver. I never noticed until now that the tires sat "LESNEY ENGLAND" on them!

Lovely work and a great hobby. Many thanks.

What a wonderful video and thanks for all your hard work. You've brought back some very fond memories of playing with Matchbox toys when I was a child. I actually had this very Ferrari racing car and even lost the little driver. I suspect my baby brother ate it! LOL. A great restoration job and I really loved the 'time to play' comment at the end. Subscribed.

Awesome Resto! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, outstanding! Beautiful job.

Outstanding result!

Great job, my friend! From a Ferrari lover ❤️🇺🇸🇮🇹❤️🇺🇸🇮🇹❤️🇺🇸🇮🇹

Great job - wonderful piece :) !

Wire wheels on a 1/64 car is so cool.Matchbox was ahead of the game. The die had to be pretty small.

Dam nice work on d restoration of d ferrari came out sikk thanks for sharing stay up 🔥👍✌

Very Great Job!Congratulations!

That really turned out well!

Oh wow. And this is one of the most famous Ferrari’s of all time! The famous shark nose!

Awesome job sir! Keep up the great work

Fan Friggin tastic , Pro job ! I think I had one like this OR a Corgi ? 50 years ago (hard to remember for sure) Love it.

I have this car in collection by shell. This modèles is really cool. Good work's 👌it's nice. Peace ✌️

Thank you, that looks amazing, from South Africa 🇿🇦

It really does look like new. Nice job. First time seeing one of your vids.

Gorgeous looking car..Great Job. ...Bravo!

Looks like a proper ferrari. The before car looked like a old race car that someone discovered in a barn. If you find a second one, it would make a great display model. Nice work

Great restoration of a classic shark nose Ferrari.

Looks like Marty has some competition. Would live to see some restored Lotuses alongside your Ferrari.

Love it! Hope you can find a driver figure.

I found one of this for $5.00 at my local flea market! Nice resto!

Amazing work!

Very nice job. The colour looks very close to the original too.

It's great to hear you give some kudos to another restorer... Marty has a good channel... and you had better not sell your own channel short... you are both producing excellent segments...! Cheers from the Land Down Under 🇦🇺 👍🏼✊🏼👊🏼👋🏼

That is a skill id love to have excellent great video charming little model and of course its a Ferrari great job.

First time watching your channel. No idea who Marty is, but now I've got to go check him out. Great work. 👍

Lovely restoration, looking forward to a custom version too👍

Great work! I hope you do get a hold of another one to do a resto-mod project with. While watching I was thinking how great it would look with a black wash on that grille at the back end, some black or brown on the steering wheel rim, etc.

Beautiful car. I said this on another channel but it's relevant here: I grew up with Matchbox being the cheap, flimsy alternative to HotWheels. Until I saw Marty's and others videos I had no idea they were such nice cars back in the day.

Great Job 👍🏻 Great car 👌🏻

This is a surprisingly relaxing video, I enjoyed it throughfully ! I am a subscriber now ! Please keep up the awesome work. Much respect to you Sir !
