MATCHBOX Restoration No 74b Daimler Bus 1966

This model Matchbox Daimler bus was gifted to me from my friends in the USA, Kevin and Kasey McMullen! They bought it for 50 cents and sent it half way around the world to Melbourne, Australia, so that I could give it some well needed TLC and make it fit for service once again. Thank you K&K., another Matchbox Lesney model restored to near new condition. This video is the first to feature my Drone pick-up and delivery service, which was unfortunately unsuccessful and failed to take off.

Just a thought but since you are making your own decals/printed parts, how about printing the donors names either as one side of a decal set or as a 3d name plate as a thanks to the donor? You could ask your commentators what they think before going ahead if you like the idea . Have a laughter filled holiday.

What a lovely old bus. I grew up in Coventry where Daimler were based, and these buses would frequently be seen being tested whilst still minus their bodywork, the drivers wrapped head to toe in thick clothing to protect them from the cold.

@assateaguecottage8378 5 жыл бұрын

I’m from the USA and have watched all your videos. They are really great. If I wasn’t so busy I could see me getting into restoring old matchbox cars looks like so much fun. I restored an old metal kitchen stool/bench for my wife for Christmas this year and it really hooked me. Thanks for the great content!

@BibtheBoulder 3 жыл бұрын

Born in 1963 I lived on Radford Road Coventry between 1967 and 1971. I would regularly see these buses, minus their bodies, being test driven along Radford Road, their drivers wrapped up like the Michelin Man to stay warm....happy days.

My first Matchbox Car was a garbage truck. My grandmother (she was from the Seneca tribe, and was 98 at the time... she lived to be 114) She tried to give me this toy garbage truck... my brother and myself both, she would try to give us matchbox cars, and we were always taught to be polite, and not take advantage of our grand mother, so we politely declined the gift.... so in order to convince us to take the toys, she took a penny, and stuck it into the back of the garbage truck, and then showed me how when the box of the truck was lifted, it would push the penny out with the compactor. Well, I was a five year old, and starting my Jewish learning, so a penny in the Matchbox toy... that changes EVERYTHING! To this day, I have fond memories of that Matchbox garbage truck... and that little compactor that would push things out when it was lifted, and my hope is to some day see you do a restoration of one. I haven't seen one of them since I was a small child though. I want to thank you for your channel, however... as a model railroader, I have used a number of your tips and tricks, and I look forward to each and every one of your episodes.

restoring things is always great fun!! I restored my first antique violin today mostly exterior wear and tear and I'm pretty pleased with the result the paint job had gone dark and misty but after a thorough polish, it now shows the almost crystalline woodgrain again sparkling in the light when you move it also re-glued all the parts that were loose like f.i. the neck, now for a cello!!

Marty you make my day. I love watching your program I like the way you throw in some comedy with the restoration of cars of my childhood. I had a friend whos dad was in the military and he sent him new cars every week or so. He had about 300 cars, trucks, tractors, heavy equipment, and other matchbox"s. We would build hole city's We spent weeks and weeks building them. Thank You for bringing back the memorys of 50+ years ago.

My eldest daughter, when she was about six years old, discovered while we were working on the car, that "J.B. Weld" was perfect for fixing a bad radiator. Clever kid... I never have to worry about her being stranded, or taken advantage of my a mechanic, as she can do all the work herself, if she ever had to. That radiator lasted another five years before I finally sold the car. (probably still holding, if the car is still around. That was close to 30 years ago)

We use a product called JB Kwik at work all the time. It's made by the same company as the JB weld. it will be dry in about 5 minutes compared to the regular stuffs overnight. it's slightly weaker than the JB Weld but considering it's a tiny small car it will most likely never break.
