    I had a suitcase full of hot wheels and matchbox cars when I was little, and wish I still had them all, but corgi cars were always a special treat and a step above the rest

    So tired of the pages where they damage the model first, then restore it. This one looks authentically aged. Great job.

      Or they find the thing in the sewer mud. Or the strange white dust and rust that's coating the thing. I wonder what that stuff is, is it like baby powder mixed with paprika or something?

    子供に沢山遊ばれて役目を終えたミニカーが、魔法の力で元通りになるようで。
    きっとこのミニカーで遊んだ大人たちも、その頃の思い出が蘇る事だと思います。
    これからもこのチャンネルで沢山のミニカー達が蘇るのを楽しく拝見させて頂きます。

    as a kid i had around two or three dozen of these including this one. The old house we lived in had board floors and i lost most of them under the floor boards and into the cellar. A few years ago i was renovating my moms old house and found about 20 of them in perfect condition covered in that very fine dirt under the house.

    I loved this video, that restoration made me nostalgic.
    As a kid I used to have a huge collection of new and old toy car models, mostly 1/76 but I also had some 1/43. From time to time I customized them with other car parts or repaired them with the help of my dad.

    The 917 was NEVER a typical racing car. The long tail version your model is of was clocked at 248 mph on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans in 1970. It was so successful it was banned in 1973.

    Ever considered taking a sheet of plywood, mapping out a town to display some of your cars. When I was 8 or 9 I did that in the woods near my house. Using shoe boxes for buildings. Never even considered keeping the cars in their original boxes. Did have the Hot Wheels carrying cases though. Great video. New Sub.
