i have sat and watched 4 videos just today and it took my mind off being ill and off work and put me in a very relaxed satisfied place. Truly fantastic and obsessively perfect in every way. You can see through just your hands HOW patient and precise your are. Its an easy10 out of 10 from meeeeee!!!!!!
I love the Lotus Esprit best...when it comes to Bond cars. And my favorite Bond is Roger Moore. What a great talent you have to be able to fully restore and box this beautiful Corgi. 👍🏻
Wow! My brother had one as a kid. Being a younger brother I loved that toy and played with it whenever he wasn't around since it was his favorite car to play with and didn't allow me near it. This restoration is very well executed. You went even further by making the box for it as well. I had forgotten that one but when I saw the end result it came back to my memories. Compliments to you!
Paul your work is next level!!! From fixing the stepped on roof and pillar, to custom fitting the window and rocket mechanism and making the rockets. Plus you finish with your wonderful box work, that almost steals the show from the actual piece. Keep up the amazing work you do.
This was my favorite toy growing up and is currently in the next room. When the drawing for the rockets popped up on screen, my breath caught. Haven't seen one since 1979. It was a real pleasure seeing you bring another Lotus back to life. I see that one was well loved too.
I got rid of the wheels on both mine, just smoothed the bottom of looks mint....no screws or fixings. You may need to recheck your rear fins as they should lie flat when closing rear bumper
Paul, as always your work efforts are superb. Fantastic restoration. You are a Master craftsman. Great techniques that can be employed on any model rebuild. Keep up the good work efforts and thanks for posting the video for all of us viewers.
I used to have one of these where the wheels actually flipped up into the bodywork, Im not sure of the manufacturer. It didnt have any 007 decals on it. It was the early 80's. Amazing to find one with the missiles still with it! Great restoration 👍
To be honest I always thought this was naff as a model, not a car but instead a sub.(and non-submersible!) so you couldn't zoom it. But one with real wheels! That flip up!! If I were a child again, I'd go for that.
Hey Paul This is James I Like the James Bond Model Cars you doing . I was born in 1972 when those Movies Started coming out. There's nothing like the original James Bond.
Hey James, I'm a little older than you, but I started watching James Bond films around the same time as you, because in the 1970s they were unavailable in Poland and I also became fascinated with Bond films from that period.
This is amazing a pleasure to watch This model is so complex! I have one in 1.18 scale This is my favourite Bond car Love the film too The car chase and sound track and when it dives into the sea and transforms...wow! Excellent resto Also the box is out of this world So well done!!!
Another classic brought back to life. Mine (that I still have in excellent condition) must be a earlier one as it has the correct license plate of PPW 306R.
What’s great blast from the past. I owned this car as a kid. Lost the missiles in like two days, but played with it for years. Great job on the restoration.
Totally amazing. I used to have this car as a child, still had it a few years ago but gone missing in a house move 😭 I think the new rockets are too long, I remember my original when they were pushed into the tubes ready for launch they would sit almost flush with the rear screen. However that is a minor observation for an incredible restoration!
Panie Pawle kolejny Sztos na liscie.💪💪💪💪 Super model i oczywiscie wykonana nad nim praca. Przygotowywanie boxów do modeli za kazdym razem mnie zachwyca. Szkoda, że nie mam takich umiejętności bo chetnie odnowłlbym wszystkie swoje Matchboxy z dzieciństwa. Pozdrawiam i czekam na nowe filmiki.
Echt super geworden. Wirklich der Knaller. V.a. die Herstellung des metallernen Rohlings für die Raketen. So genial. Ich glaube, filmen und dabei restaurieren ist sicherlich nicht einfach. Macht so viel gute Laune, so ein tolles Video. Keep up the good work.
I had one of these as Christmas present in 1977 when l was eight l was so excited to get it. I still have it today in its box although the fins do not retract

This was an amazing transformation Paul. I never would have given that car a second look just because of how badly damaged it was. This car turned out fantastic 👍👍
My god.... My favorite car ever... The first hot wheels model I ever possessed! Thanks for this great restoration. Beautiful job as ever. 😍The corgy model is just sick.
Had one back when I was 'Knee high to a grasshopper' so to speak... Oh them were the days, flicking out the fins, and firing rockets... They'd go everywhere and sometimes were hard to find under chairs and sofas lol, I then got given for Xmas, a larger version too... Had so many working craft, Space 1999 Eagle with centre section that could 'drop', UFO fighter with firing rocket from the nose, and loads more.... Oh, the 70's and early 80's.... THEM were the days! 🤔😊😊😊👍 You've an excellent job there fella, nice one! 👌 😎🇬🇧
for those small items that were lost behind sofas or generally, I always found it was best left to adults to find them, usually in barefoot and then they would signal their success with the hopping dance and accompanied by multiple profanities. 😉🤣
@@johndaarteest Ahhhh yes.. Those fond days of the Parental Tribal 'AAAAAGHHHYASONOFABITCH' dance, often widely associated with the errant brick known as Sharpius Legolii. 🤔🤔😏😉
Slowly working my way through your back catalogue. I've got a feeling that the rockets were flush on mine. It's in the display cabinet so can have a look if you want. Another great job!
This is fun, i have a sort of famous aunt, she made movies with Ingmar Bergman, she always got tickets to big premieres! I was on the premiere of that Bond-movie in Sweden, i was a little child, but i got that car, and still have it in very good condition!
Probably the best one you have done! I loved the way you made the rockets! I used to have this model as a kid, and the back end was damaged on mine and the rockets were also missing.
I had a version of that and I might be misremembering but I'm convinced the lights did something on my one. My brother had the Aston from Goldfinger which did a whole load of things.
@@spitfiremark1a768 I tried having a search for it earlier and couldn't find anything like what I remember so it seems more like an incorrect memory. For a moment I thought I'd found one but it was a picture of the real car.
This bought back some very happy childhood memories of owning this beauty. The only thing different was that the missiles were bright fluorescent orange but hey, this is just wonderful
Absolutely Superb and one of my favourite toys from my childhood, I still have my original it’s well played with but looks better than this one beforehand! I bought a boxed reissue a few years back so I didn’t have to restore, the printed box looked amazing too , well done .. brilliant !!
Great job bringing life back into that old classic! I still have my original kept at my mothers house somewhere up in a cupboard. Should be in in condo as it’s been out of the sun etc. I’m pretty sure there should be some missiles in it too! Loved playing with it as a kid and being the spy who loved me!
Oglądam wszystkie Twoje filmy, bardzo mnie inspirują Twoje prace, wszystkie te modele to silumin, podobny model też poziomowałem, ale podgrzałem go na ogniu, wtedy łatwo się wygina i nie pęka, materiał jest bardzo delikatny, a po podgrzany staje się giętki.
Très belle restauration , j' adore ce film et cette Lotus . Quand la plaque d' immatriculation descend et lance du produit sur le parebrise des méchants .
Yep, me too... I think the torpedos/rockets were orange, and I was so scared to lose one, that I crawled through the room right after every launch to get them all back!
What a fantastic job your doing, I had large collection of these when young , a lot of what you have dad used to buy me one every couple of weeks , I done a silly thing and went and swapped them all for a load of action man figures and all exsesorores , that's life still gutted at 60 years of age 🤔
As always Paul the Resto is excellent ,putting it crudely ,it looks the Bollocks ,you are sure you didn't buy a good model of the Lotus from a toy fair ,or of E-bay ,or maybe a Vectis Auction. Rob.
Brilliant video! I had one when they came out and the RED 007 bonnet sticker wasn't on the original ones so this is a Version 2.0 one, also the correct registration is PPW 306R as someone in the comments pointed out. I remember in 1977 mine took along time to arrive at the local shop so my mum bought me the silver Aston Martin while I was waiting... I ended up with both Result!! oh and Elon Musk bought the real one......
What an amazing job! Fine work sir. I had one of these, your vid brought back so many memories. I even remember having to hold down the two rear fins as they were pushed into the body just as you did.
These videos don't play, was looking forward to this, as a kid i owned about six or seven, I opened several to ft lights, i panted them to match the on screen version, possibly slightly obsessed.
Great Great work as always. Seeing those rockets take off , at first I did not think it worked , but it is awesome to see in slow motion!!! SOOOOO KOOOOOLLLLL !! You hit it out of the park Paul . Mike Espo . 😎👍👍😎😎😎😎
Paul: I'm gonna restore a toy car. Us: Right on. Paul: It's a Lotus. Us: Sweet. Paul: It's a James Bond car. Us: No way! Paul: It has retractable fins to drive underwater and it shoots four missles. Us: Whaaaaaaaaaaat?! Paul: I'm just gonna remake the full display box too. Us: 😲

The restoration was great

Who else could here the James Bond theme while watching this
I hear Carly Simon singing “The Spy Who Loved Me”
I played the theme on another tab while watching! 😁
I could hear "nobody does it better , makes me feel sad for the rest , nobody does it , half as good as you , baby your the best . .
Yep, but the classic one played by the big orchestra with lots of brass
I can hear Q in the background, "Now, pay attention, please..."
This is my favorite one you’ve ever done. This is beautiful. I’ve loved this car and the film growing up and you did fantastic with this.
Thank you very much
Awesome restoration, I've still got my original bought when i was a kid, and a couple of years back I bought the rerelease
