Nice work restoring the Renault Le Car Casting, A year ago I'd came across one at a thrift store and it was in good shape, so I'd put it in a case to keep it safe from getting the paint scratch or getting damage since the casting is rare when it comes to finding one in good condition.
I had this one but in white with green race-ish livery on it. Seems they all have an issue with their axle bending that way 'cuz mine was like that as well.
Nice job combining the two for a restoration. Think of it as going to the junk yard for parts as many a Le Car owner did in the late 80's.
i had never seen this model, these matchbox are my favourite, i like to add some paint details at the end of the restoration to valorise them 🙂👍
Great work as always.
WOW.
Awesome job .
Mike .
Nice . I have one in red in very good condition .
I remember Le Cars when I was very young. Nice model cars.
Another fine restoration Jason.
Great work. Nothing wrong with using a donor
Nice restoration, details and paint job 👌 👍
It looks really good Jason! The ride height looks much better with the straightened axles. Thanks for sharing this.

Great job 👍🏻
Noice restore mate, cheers Graham
Lovely job 🙂 i have 2x Le Cars which have survived in mint condition since my childhood along with an equally mint Rallye 04 livery 👍
Love your videos! Please keep it up! You are one of the last of the commentary restoration channels left that still post.
nice
The R5 lasted in Canada until 1985 or 1986. It was a big seller in the province of Québec.

Which of the Matchbox Le Cars had yellow paint and had black Le Car decals?
You can see pics if you Google it, it’s one of the early 80s models I think
