Matchbox SS 100 Jaguar (335) Restomod with parts Matchbox overlooked!
#SS100Jaguar #Gaahleri
On the bench today is a 1:50 scale Matchbox SS 100 Jaguar. It debuted in the 1-75 series and was produced from 1982-1986 as No. MB047. I got this one in a mail call from friend of the channel Mark Leminen in Finland. Thanks again, Mark!
The SS 100 Jaguar is a British 2-seat sports car built between 1936 and 1939 by SS Cars Ltd of Coventry, England.
It's a very rare car, with only 198 2½-litre and 116 3½-litre models made. Only 49 of them were exported. A beautifully restored former Pebble Beach concours winning 1937 SS 100 Jaguar 3½ litre Roadster was sold by Gooding & Co. at their August 2010 Pebble Beach auction. It fetched a noteworthy £666,270 (USD $1,045,000).

I loved what you did with this 240Z Andrew. I remember the Peelers' cars growing up. They sold them at a store called Richmond Gorman in Kansas.
Congrats, whats a beauty you make
Great build and lovely work on the transfers - they still terrify me! A weathering technique I've found to work really nicely on my Gaslands cars is to use watered down citadel paint. I usually apply several watery layers of Baneblade Brown, which gives a great dust effect, and is fantastic on tyres/tracks too. If you're struggling with the chrome effects, it might be worth applying using a small acrylic brush, perhaps a 00 or around that. The Army Painter Detail brush is superb for fine jobs like edge highlighting. As ever, absolutely love your work, looking forward to your next build!
Thanks for watching, brother. And thanks for the good tips too! Always learning. 🍁☕️
Andrew your fantastic air brusher
Thanks, Ed. Good equipment always helps! 🍁☕️
As a kid I had the ORANGE PEEL version of that casting
Cool. They're hard to find intact nowadays. 🍁☕️
@ yes they are. They certainly are
Amazing job Andrew! I always wanted the 280Z! My first vehicle was an old Datsun Pickup.
Thanks, Mark. They've always been serious eye candy! 🍁☕️
I think you had the perfect approach with this review.
Thanks, Doug. Just a hobbyist looking for a good, all purpose airbrush that does the job! 🍁☕️
Well done review Andrew. You may have accidentally created a piece of abstract art with your stencil testing. Coming soon to a gallery near you. 🤣 Just kidding with ya. Have a great week! 🫵👍✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦
LOL. Thanks Steve! 🍁☕️
That is awesome 👌 👏 👍
Thanks, Scoobers. The Batmobeetle will fly again soon. 🍁☕️
Awesome 👌
Thanks for watching. Keep your eye on this brand. 🍁☕️
Wonderful work. I do love a race car resto and this is a great one👍👏👏👏
Thanks so much. I love doing these kind of cars. 🍁☕️
Nice review, Andrew. 👌🤓
Thanks, Uri. They're making some great airbrushes. 🍁☕️
Nice video, I recently bought a very rough one but painted mine Tamiya Ferrari Red with wire wheels, the tail hitch had been previously chewed off so I was happy to dispatch what was left
Thanks for watching. Good riddance to those tail hitches! 🍁☕️
@@MapleLeafCustoms yeh I don’t know why they did them on Ferraris ? Guess it saved on tooling the molds
👍😎 might have to check it out
It's a great kit, Dane. Have a look at their website. Good deals to be had right now. 🍁☕
That's a reasonable price for what you get. I have been using air brushes for 50 years, doing different projects. You certainly don't need to spend a ton of money for painting die cast.
Agreed. For what what's required in this hobby, this has plenty of versatility and firepower. 🍁☕️
Looks quality, Andrew, but seems a bit steep to me for how flexible it is. I've had a cheapo for three years now, with three needles down to 0.2.......keep 'em clean and they look after you. Those silicone washers and grommets are an advantage over rubber though. 👌🏻🇨🇦👍🏻🇬🇧👏🏻🇨🇭
Me too, Jack. I've still got the two I started with 5 years ago. The cheapest available on Amazon! Clean and ready to go. This one's an upgrade for sure, and with a great guarantee too. 🍁☕️
👍 Thx 🇧🇪.
Thanks for watching, Rudi. 🍁☕️
Outstanding just git one from Paul youdelis @fat guy productions!! Thanks for the ride!!
I saw that, Eddie. It's a great kit. 🍁☕️
very nice looks great
Thanks! Lots of memories in this one. 🍁☕️
I. Love. Rally Cars!! This is amazing!! The details are magnificent!!
Thanks, Leo. Rally cars are at the top of my favourites list too! 🍁☕️
This looks really good
Thanks so much. Have a great day! 🍁☕️
Really fantastic build! The 3D printed lights and weathering are my favorite but all the other details you added are great too! Love that you did an authentic livery and the weathering just makes the casting a perfect replica.
Thanks, Mykey! Rally cars should never be clean and shiny! 🍁☕️
Fun build - the Beetle takes flight.
Check back for another appearance of the Batmobeetle in an upcoming diorama build. 🍁☕️🦇
Wonderful build Andrew and yes, the 240Z is a throwback in time for so many of us (I worked at a Radio Shack in high school and the manager had one). I love what you did with it and the decals you made are fantastic!
Thanks, Jim. Now and then I can look at a finished car and say, "Pretty close this time!" 🍁☕️😀
Excellent build, a true rally icon, brought to life by your good self
Thanks, Martin. This one has a real racing pedigree. 🍁☕️
I’m in Skokie
Greetings from Switzerland. 🍁☕️
I have the same car and the same color
It's a sharp looking casting! 🍁☕️
Oh yea I had a 280 zx 2+2 back in the early 80's great car !! Thanks for the ride!!
Still among my favourites! 🍁☕️
Amazing work, looks like it really just is in a pit stop from the rally. 10 of 10 for authenticity in my book. If you don’t mind, a little caroming the windows tip I use, I take a cotton swab or a toothpick, and use my Dremel sander to make a little 90 degree notch, put a little drop of paint in the notch, and follow the contours of the windows. I learned from another video, and started with notched stirrer sticks. I’ve gotten good results, I. No where near the fabricator/detailer you are, but you’ve taught me so much, maybe I can partially pay it back. Really love the end result, as always a great Sunday morning start. Thank you!
Thanks, Brian. That's a solid tip that even I could follow! 🍁☕️😀
I do love your work.
Thank you very much! Wishing you a fine day today. 🍁☕️🦇
A perfect replica of the real car, expertly done as always.
Thank you, John. I got pretty close with this one! 🍁☕️
Wow Andrew that came out awesome. All the details and decals look great.😎
Thanks, Armando! I put a lot into it. 🍁☕️
proper paint, decals, wheels, and the paintjob turned out great, too. time to start the rallye! :D you know how to tell a good rallye driver? the dead flies stick to the side windows. XD
True words! 🍁☕️🤣
Rally cars, whether African rallies or the WRC rally cars are sone of my favorite race vehicles out there. Great job.
Thanks, Russ. I'm with you on that! 🍁☕️
As usual that looks amazing Andrew. Looks 100% better. Keep the content coming.
Thanks, Ron. Will do! 🍁☕️
Superb looking rally car, my friend. Great details. I so enjoyed the video, too.
Thank you, Skip. Rally cars are among my most favourite. 🍁☕️
WRC/Rally was so cool in those days! RWD cars on any surface was insane. It was a featured car in the SIM/Arcade racer DIRT 2.0 Rally as well. If you are into racing sims. Looks great!
Thanks. Good that the SIM crowd is keeping this one alive too! 🍁☕️
Another work of art mate!
Thanks, brother! 🍁☕️
Awesome, Andrew.....
Terima kasih, temanku. 🍁☕️
Excellent work Andrew 😊 14:21
Thanks, mate! 🍁☕️
Nice build Andrew. Transformed into a true racer. 👍✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦
Thanks, Steve. This one's got a rally pedigree, so it was fun to do the makeover. 🍁☕️
That was awesome 👌 do u ever put in any lights in ??
Thanks. I haven't done that yet, but seen some guys doing it. That's a goal for the future though. 🍁☕️
What an amazing build Andrew it turned out great as always.
Thanks, Brandon. A couple of rally lights. A few decals. A bit of weathering. This one comes close to the real thing. 🍁☕️
Great job Andrew 👍🏻
Thanks, Mark. 🍁☕️
@MapleLeafCustoms you're welcome 😊
nice transformation. I must have one of the early versions of this mine has a yellow 7 on the hood with yellow interior has the skinner flat 5 spoke wheels and a bit extra metal on the base for the longer wheel axels. Of course, mine looks more like the Rotsun from Road Kill with missing part of the front bumper/headlight and rear bumper. Fun fact the reason Nissan used the Datsun name outside of Japan was to protect the reputation of Nissan if it failed so it wouldn't look bad on it.
Thanks. Mine wasn't in such bad shape, but still needed a few touches to look like the real rally car. Fun project! 🍁☕️
Amazing transformation yet again.
Thanks again, Neil! 🍁☕️🇨🇦
Absolutely stunning. 240Z is a great car to begin with. And I love rally cars, so winning! Great job my friend
Thanks, JZ. I'm with you in the lineup for loving rally cars. 🍁☕️
You really brought out what a nice casting this 240z is. I really enjoy your customs of recreating historic race and rally cars
Thanks, RJ. They're some of my favourites to do too. 🍁☕️
Nailed it; absolutely bang on, Andrew. Thats a really nice result..... 👌🏻🇨🇦👍🏻🇬🇧👏🏻🇨🇭
Thanks, Jack. With the rally lights and decals, it comes close to the real one! 🍁☕️
Very nice Andrew!! I can just see it going across the desert
Thanks, Pete. It was a winner in '71!
