  • My Ferrari model was made by Corgi on a scale of 1:43. It did not have tires. I copied them from the spare tire located in the engine compartment. I made the decals based on the photos of the original stickers. I also made a reproduction of the box.

    Wow!!! Just Wow! I'm 65 years old - and my FAVORITE toy car of all time was my bright red Corgi Ferrari Berlinetta. In school we boys played at lunchtime - pushing our Corgi/Dinky cars as fast as possible across the width of the school playground. My Berlinetts was UNASSAILABLE - it rolled faster and further than any other car that I - or anyone else ever had. Never knew why until today. Now you reveal that the way the wheels were mounted onto the body was unique! Surely this must explain it's prowess in the speed trials! You'd really never guess that a mystery like that would ever be solved! I can't thank you enough for letting me know. (And I'm very jealous of your restored car!). Many thanks.

    Paul, this Ferrari Berlinetta was the very first Corgi Car I ever had. I am certain my youngest brother got it and destroyed it, or my Mom threw it away. I looked for it years ago, but no soap. Playing with this toy, I was struck by the spring suspension! I did what you always do...let it drop from 1/4" up and watch the suspension take the weight. It rolled along the floor effortlessly, much better than any previous die cast car I owned. (Probably early rudimentary Lesney old-timers.) Watching your wonderful restoration here, it drove me crazy to get one! I remembered a childhood friend gave me his die cast cars many years ago. I miraculously found the box they were in! One was this Berlinetta. Most all the guys had this Ferrari for some reason. Onto my desk it went! It showed it's years, but not too bad. I then, because of your restoration videos, sourced several vintage, original near mint in their original boxes Corgi Cars from a seller in the UK. I am thrilled to get them! Thank you for rekindling my love of die cast cars!

You put a lot of effort into this, clearly. On behalf of those of us who can easily tell the difference between "model restorations" and a true model car restoration, I'd like to say thanks, and you're awesome 👍

    Stumbled upon this and so glad I did. I kept all my Corgi toys up until 6 years ago as something to hand down. When I had to move overseas they got lost somewhere. Now I feel really gutted to see just how wonderfully they could have been restored. My pride and joy were the You Only Live Twice Toyota with the rocket firing out of boot, and the Green Hornet Black Beauty (so much fun packed into one small toy), and for me the pinnacle was the metalic green Corvette Stingray with the yellow glass sunroof and pull down wheel jacks with removable wheels, and a lift up bonnet and yes they still had their original boxes. Thank you for a great video. And well done, a lovely restoration.

  • @randytaylor1258

    I remember this model. It was particularly well made and you have beautifully restored it to perfection.
    However, when Corgi chose to make a mid-1960s Ferrari, I have never understood why they didn't make a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO, an absolutely iconic race car. They would have sold a million. I don't believe they ever made a Mercedes 300 SL gullwing, either. Pity.
    A work of art, Paul.

      They did make a mercedes 300 gullwing , it was realised in 1/36th scale in 1982 in red in the black , orange and yellow window box for a short time , then both red and a silver version appeared in 1983 in the cars of the 50s series in a brown double sided window box , just before corgi went into receivership in july 83 .

    Corgi toys 314 ferrari, had a long production run, 1965 to 1972 , some also found their way into gift set 41 instead of the rover 2000 . Only 2 variations these are found on the baseplate early ones had 2 parallel straight lines cast , later ones also had 2 parallel lines cast but canted out at opposite angles at the rear , they all sported their spoked wheels and rubber tyres to the end of production, from 1970 they appeared in the slim jim yellow and blue window box. A really lovely restoration paul .
