    So incredibly handsome Sierra became. When you rebuild these small cars, I get extremely excited. These are wonderful details and a huge job you put into them. The Sierran was a wonderful car. It was rear-wheel drive. So we had a lot of fun here in Sweden in the winter. Looking forward to the next project. Why not a Matchbox Volvo 480 for the convertible?

    Love the finished result! even if Hotwheels are bringing out a Cosworth. It's great to see this old Matchbox casting getting some attention, I used to have the metallicgreen Matchbox Sierra XR4i an a Red MC Toys XR4i too as a kid. I've got a MC Toys box set of cars I acquired a couple of years ago, which has the red Sierra like I had, the BMW M1, Jag XJS, an unusually the Peugeot 309 amongst others! They did do the 205 too, Mercedes 308 van, an the Ford Escort mk3 Cabriolet with the roof up. Anyway will check it the merch, as looks like you got some cool stuff 🙂

    Great custom work, mate. MC Toys is what later became Maisto, and their older castings used to be ones that look similar to Matchbox made at the time, along with a few oddball normal cars as well that don’t get made in small scale. The modern Maisto 1/64 castings pale in comparison as they have lost interiors and budget cuts have been made which cheapened their quality though MBX is treading dangerously as well at the moment.

    Good to see you back and and what a welcome back video. Boy, have I been waiting for this. The Ford Sierra Cosworth being my all time favourite car, and have every version of it in scale models. This is ludicrously good. Absolutely love it. Great choice of livery as well, considering the sheer amount of Colour schemes to you could’ve chosen…
    Bet the Benson & Hedges live red car would’ve looked even better though, if not a tad fiddly to do….

    Good to see you again! Superb job on the car. Dick Johnson is a very familiar name to me. I remember Dick's blue XE Ford Falcon racing at Bathurst. Of course I was always in the Brockie camp for Holden, keeping the Aussie rivalry alive, but I also liked Fords (closet liked).

    • @SidewaysKing75
      @SidewaysKing75  3 года назад

      Many thanks. I loved the Australian racing scene, way back then and indeed into the 90's it was hard to get to see them unless you bought a season recap Video imported but it was well worth the wait. Of course nowadays I can binge watch great racing from that era on here. The Johnson/Brock rivalry was great viewing 🚗🚓🚕🚙😁👍

    Hello there! I do believe that when Matchbox switched operations to Macau, some of the tooling, of various models, 'went on a tour' of the local region, like Hong Kong, and mainland China. The result of this, being knock-off models that looked like Matchbox, but on closer inspection obviously weren't. Parts fit, finish and weight in the hand are obvious giveaways - I've encountered them at car boot sales in the past. Some are very convincing. Others are rather poor. Some have rubbish interiors and glazing, and thick paint.
    Yours turned out beautiful. That red just jumps out at you.
    You mentioning Australia made me think: have you ever had one of the Hot Wheels 1973 Ford Falcon XB models? It's a great looking car, and I was wondering, other than the obvious 'Mad Max' customs, if it was ever used as a race car? Another great model of an iconic and powerful Australian vehicle, is the 2010 Matchbox Holden Ute SSV. That might be fun to work on.

    • @SidewaysKing75
      @SidewaysKing75  3 года назад

      Hi Brain, hope you're well. I do have a Machbox Falcon which I think is a 90's, maybe 00's car. Its a pace car and has a roof bar moulding on and a great roll bar interior, so I'll prep that up soon enough for sure.
      Thanks for the info on MC cars, its a dead cert I thought they were rip offs for all the points you mentioned but I was slightly unsure. 🚗🚓🚕🚙😁👍

    You can still capture some of that rear wheel power and madness from Ford cheaply right now by grabbing the last of the big rear drive Fjords from Sweden - I picked up a 1995 3.0 24v straight six Volvo 960 estate for under £3k and it is epic!
    Of course you can go full BTCC with an 850R Estate for under £10k but I think AWD just doesn't quite do it for me :)
    How about a big Volvo for a project car?

    • @SidewaysKing75
      @SidewaysKing75  3 года назад +1

      The best advice I can give is to try putting the names of the cars you have into eBay to see what others a re going for, or go along to a toy fair and see if theres any there for sale. I don't really check on my values as they are all mine from a kid and are decades old so to me they are worth much more. With the restoration, again its down to what you intend to do. If you are doing them up to sell on you need to weigh up what you are being charged as opposed to what you want to sell them for. In any of these cases selling them individually would get you better returns as theres so many job lots that go for realtively cheap, but there could be a number of cars in those lots that are worth as much as the job lot if they went on there own..... hope this helps Thanks for watching 🚗🚓🚕🚙😁👍
