Outstanding restoration! You left it looking like it was ready for a royal wedding. Great job on the pronunciation of "Vallejo." I think only Rivera pronounces it better. You've inspired me to tackle my Matchbox Jaguar Sedan of a similar vintage. It's painted in the same red, and deserves to be cleaned up and painted in British Racing Green. Cheers!
Get the feeling I'm missing a joke but I always pronounced their name Vuh-Lay-Oh. Unless we're rolling letters to mock someone. In fact, reminds me of the scene from Two If By Sea: Cop: Stolen, Odalisque with Red Culottes, by O'nri Matisse. He's French. Detective: I know he's French, but you're not, so say "Henry."
I thought this one was not just an improvement over the abused toy but an improvement over the factory original, especially your wheels choice! Loved the detailed additions! Well done!!!
Very nice restoration! The wheels are very nice and the details to the lights and plates. The matchbox Rolls has always been one of my favorites. The details are spot on. Thank you.
Brilliant! When you reassemble the model, it reminds me of how clever the engineers and designers were in creating this piece. Look at all the parts and how they fit neatly together. Today, the equivalent price point models are only body, chassis, interior and window assembly (alas).
Hello Friend.. 20 coats on that lovely ROLLS- that is almost like the way they prepare a real rolls, with its unique hand rubbed coats Just thinking of the burled walnut interior, the connoly leather seats- man, NO ONE understands it like RollsRoyce does- AND NOBODY does a restoration LIKE YOU- Bloody smashingly well done ! Ps- true story from your new American friend here, mate- Here goes: I remember waaaay back in 1972 (I believe) when I took a late night walk with my father somewhere, he would try to stop by the local toy store to keep me From getting bored and bugging him-so I picked the Blue "ROLLS SUPERFAST", a convertible, with brownish interior.!The next day, I brought it to school, and while at my desk totally transfixed by its beauty, the teacher came and took it from me- She was about 4 Ft tall and terrified me- she Had a Face like a hawk- and only almost 5o odd years later do I feel that MAYBE I might be able to take her down. So, she, upon stealing my toys, would always say: "you can get it back in June, on the last day of school" Finally, that long awaited fateful day came- but in the ensuing happiness over the prospect of no school(due to the the coming two month summer vacation) I forgot to ask for it- as well as all my other matchbox cars and trucks- (SOME KING SIZED!) that she robbed from me! Cheers
Rollers are just that,for the rich,famous or weddings.had a long ride in one once,owned by a record shop guru,one F.L Moore.his chauffeur had it on loan for a day,& as i was a friend of the chauffers,got a ride in it!
Excellent restoration Rob, well done. I have done a lot of restorations in the larger 1:43 scale and I know how difficult it is to get such a fine finish. I use either Tamiya acrylics or Vallejo Air. I like Tamiya clear gloss but I found the gloss finish was a bit dull and flat when diluted 50:50 with water or thinners. I now use 4 or 5:1 paint to thinners and not only is the finish much more shiny but it also dries quicker. I found the same issue as you commented on, (had to spray very close to the car), using Vallejo Model Air paints. I solved this by turning the pressure in the compressor up from 20 psi to 30psi. I use Vallejo gloss medium diluted 4:1 with water for a gloss finish. This is nice to work with but oddly the gloss shine takes quite a few days to come through. Anyway I look forward to you next project. Keep up the good work.
@@MatchboxGarage If the gloss Tamiya is brand new it can almost be sprayed without dilution. So long as it is quite fresh the 5:1 dilution work for me with the compressor at 20psi and a 3mm needle in a dual action internal mix airbrush.
An AMAZING & BEAUTIFUL resto!!!! The new wheels & tires really make this an outstanding show-piece. I like that you left the grill, etc natural...rather than paint it silver. VERY NICE detailing on door handles, lights. etc. I hope you do another Rolls...same year & body style...but in silver//grey. Kindest regards, Ben
I love the details that you paint.... If you happened to have another one of these, would be cool to see a two tone paint scheme...maybe ox blood and caviar. ;-)
It looks good. The plastic retainer is the suspension for the wheels. Some restorers straighten it out to make the wheels sit better and give it more spring. But you likely already know that.
Great save again Rob, and curiously enough just got back from a Toy fair and picked up two of these in reasonable nick 1 Dark red and 1 almost pink, along with two superfast convertibles, must be a Rolls day. Top job fella ;-)
just as i thought of a wedding rolls royce you said it...and yes those wheels look great, the wedding company put some new RR or Bentley wheels on it...
Hi Rob, I understood your desire to keep the front and rear bumpers plain but clean, however the Rolls was renowned for the depth of chrome and so in hind site, I'd have attempted a shinier finish on that grill. But.... what a great looking car. Quality finish. Did you know it can cost £350 to hire a white Rolls for a wedding.
I love your restorations, but one thing I don't see you do is re-bend the suspension piece on the matchbox cars . After years of play they tend to warp up which makes the wheels go up into the body to far. The suspension was always my favorite thing on matchbox cars as a kid. I have seen some modelers use hot water and some use other heat sources. Just a thought but you paint very well.

Great job on the front end treatment, class, and those wheels were made for it.
I thought this one was not just an improvement over the abused toy but an improvement over the factory original, especially your wheels choice! Loved the detailed additions! Well done!!!
Thanks David
Happy you saved this beautiful casting. Now it looks expensive and classy again.
Pristine restoration on this one! Absolutely emaculate. The rims are perfect for this model and color you used. Perfection!
Turned out great, great call on the white paint and donor wheels. It looks Royal indeed!
Very nice job I love it i thought you were going to paint it gold 👍👍👍👍
Just absolutely mint, no other way to assess that in words!!! Transformed from a parts donor into a gem!
Very nice restoration! The wheels are very nice and the details to the lights and plates. The matchbox Rolls has always been one of my favorites. The details are spot on. Thank you.
Wonderful looking Build I enjoyed the color and work put in , Yes would be a great Automobile to go get hitched inn.
Love this casting the white paint job make it stand out
Those wheels and tires do look good.
Very nice - the extra details take it up a notch from straight white.

Very nicely done. Good choice on color executed flawlessly.

Great job ,it turned out great.

Thanks mate. Does the clear run ok through your airbrush at 5-1 ratio? Seems like it would be too thick?

Wow that is awesome I sure love your finishing job that looks amazing :)
Look at me. I’m imitating Marty from Australia.
That turned out very well and i dont think you couldve found a better wheel choice those wheels are perfect
