    Beautiful, just beautiful. A common game for long driving tips in the US is to count the number of license plates from other states. Last time I did that, I got about 35 of 50 states and a few Canadian provinces. Peace and love Juan.

    Everyone says nowadays that the Renault 5 was the first supermini but the Fiat 127 came out about the same time and it was a very underrated car. Years ago I went out with a girl whose sister had one. I nearly bought it from her (for £30!) but it had no floor by then. Shame, it was huge fun.
    Great job you did on this one, colour suits it well and it has it's own guard dog which is better than any alarm system!

    Another beautiful model Juan. I love the shade of blue. The model itself is the gallic version of Matchbox's Green MG1300 what with the dog at the window. When I saw you were working your magic on a Majorette, I was hoping this was the next chapter in a French Connection theme... absolutely loved those. Superb work as always.

    What a nice restoration Juan. I agree about the windshield/body color - they are a good match, though I doubt you ever saw that combination on your trips to the beach 🏖 😂.
    Good job on the shepherd; very realistic. If I were doing this restoration I couldn’t help but paint in my own dog. But she’s a golden retriever so it wouldn’t very different than the interior color 😂

  • @davidparker8221

    I noticed that you detailed the dog and the casting, but in particular you didn't detail the license plate or the wipers on it. I'm not sure anyone can detail the wipers. I haven't seen a video where someone has. I don't know if anyone has tried because the technique or the equipment doesn't exist, but it seems those are the only things you didn't detail. And by detailing the dog you brought a whole new level of joy to the casting! You also gave the dog a personality. It brought not only the dog to life, but the video. That's what you give to us with your work, Joy and Life! Safety and Sanitize. Have fun with your toys!

    • @MatchboxResurrection

    We had loads of those cars driving around when i was a kid, today they are very hard to find.
    I dont know why but Seat only caught up over here in the 80's with the Ibiza mk1 and the Marbella, but we had many Fiat cars, it is only strange because we are the only 2 countries in the same peninsula!!!
    Stay safe cheers.

    This model is very reminiscent of the Matchbox M.G 1100. I used to prefer Majorette as a child in the late 70s/early 80s as they were usually more representative of the cars I saw on the roads.

    Just an everyday car Juan and not many left to tell the tale. There's probably more Majorette 127s still out there than real cars; I think Majorette used better metal.😁
    Do you remember if the rear side window really opened like that in the 2-door cars? You should maybe paint a muzzle on that viscious brute, before he has someone's arm off.👍👌😁
