This beautiful toy, hiding away in a cardboard box, was accidentally thrown onto a bonfire. The owner, Lewis Martin from the UK, quickly realized what had happened and managed to drag it out of the flames! - Alas, the damage had been done, this model was no longer beautiful but instead, had been transformed in seconds to a smoldering piece of scrap.
What were his options? He could throw it away and it would be gone for ever or maybe, just maybe, someone would like the challenge of restoring it. The rest is history, I hope you love the ending, I am extremely happy at how this model turned out.

I love your meticulous expertise and concise explications, not to mention your smiles and the joy we get from watching you at work. I have enjoyed Australia twice in the flesh, but old age and an insufficient pension cannot prevent me from enjoying it now by proxy. Many thanks for your own contributions.

@Afrohare 4 года назад

What a magnificent model, and once again, such a fantastic makeover - cheers Marty!

@davidmoody239 4 года назад

I now look forward to all of your new posts. You have an excitement in your voice, where others don't. Believe the next time I'm at Goodwill rubbish store, I will start myself a model restoration project. Thanks Marty!

@martinoettel1274 4 года назад

Wow one of the most beautiful models ever made. Thanks for restore it Marty.

@brianclark2119 4 года назад

A worthy subject for a talented restoration! I'm glad the fates brought you two together. It was meant to be. Thanks for allowing us join you in this project.

Great job Marty , another matchbox car resurrected. Keep up the great work.👍

@rajudas2150 4 года назад

Of all the the videos you have made, I think this is a very remarkable one. This demonstrates your skills for restoring an antique vehicle like this.

What most people consider terminal, you consider a challenge. Looks an absolute treat!

@frankieblue1945 4 года назад

Amazing... absolutely amazing. Great work Mr. Marty.

@railtrolley 4 года назад

Superb. Like a Phoenix rising from the flames. About the 2 pedals. This racer was made before the standard control layout of 3 pedals, and a gearshift between the front seats. I think the Austin 7 was the first mass produced car with standard controls. Some of the early cars had levers on the steering wheel for throttle, and ignition advance. Some also had a lever for manually pumping in the engine oil. So many functions have now been automated. Alot of people around today who have never even seen a manual cold start choke.

@markharris4992 4 года назад

True. Pump on left side is manual oil pump. Brake was a lever on right side. Most midget race cars if the 40's and 50's retained this layout. No brake pedal as there is no room and besides who needs brakes in a race car lol.

@ZGryphon 4 года назад

Heck, race cars back then had a crew of two, because there was so much manual engine management that the driver just couldn't be bothered with it.

@michaelbrown2732 4 года назад

I recalled from a Top Gear episode that it was a Cadillac that had the first 'modern' control layout. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Type_53

@mikaelabowen5781 4 года назад

Bravo! This is a truly fabulous rescue! That poor little model really did dice with death, but has bounced back to health spectacularly.

@captaincoyote1792 4 года назад

At 65, I still have all of my “Yesteryear” models. The details, paint....and on some of them the “brass work” is--as you say -- a work of art! And by the way......I’m using the term “fiddly” now.....my wife says she hasn’t heard that since our days listening to The Who’s “Tommy”! Thanks again, so much, for an enjoyable and relaxing video!

@michaelpeel9347 4 года назад

Wow! I think this might be one of your best makeovers sir. I was thinking that poor car was a goner and should be used in a race car crash diorama. Thanks for sharing Mike from Texas,Take Memories,Leave Footprints
