    Fantastic restorations on both castings, took them from play worn to premium.
    To put your mind at ease the Miura in The Italian Job was switched with a wrecked one, the DVD commentary reveals this, surprisingly a lot of the cars in this film that meet their end where recued and rebuilt after.

      Thanks, John. I had read that there was some hanky panky like that during filming. It would have been heartless to trash a perfectly good Miura! 🍁☕️

    Love the Miura it's not only a favorite car but it's also a favorite casting. A few years ago I found the Matchbox magazine add from back in the day and it's framed hanging in my wall

    I showed up late to the premier, i was messing around with a coupoe castings of my own, but nothing that turned out that good! The vacuum press really comes in handy, it made that Marzal look way better, than it would have with the orange glass. Very nice, and bery well done, on both cars!

    I love this era of European cars, they are crazy and so beautiful. The Miura is (in my opinion) the most beautiful car of all time. Great work retuning both of these to their former glory.

    I love when you go back to the roots and work on these vintage Matchboxes! Collecting old Matchbox became a hobby for me during the pandemic and that’s how I discovered your channel. The Miura is my favourite Matchbox casting. I think I’m at over 15 between the gold and yellow versions! I just can’t resist them when I see one as there could be a tiny shade or wheel variation. I like what you did with both cars particularly creating your own glass for each. I also love how you made the unpainted base’s shine! Great work!

      Thanks, Tom. I couldn't leave two such nice cars in a state of disrepair. As much as I enjoy creating customs, there's always going to be a place for restoring the classics. Much harder actually, than just glueing those random pieces on our Gaslands vehicles, don't you think?! The Marzal will go to the Goodwill store, but the delicate repairs on the Miura disqualify it as a kid's play toy. I've got lots of others like these needing some TLC. 🍁☕️

    I enjoyed seeing you take on the Marzal and I'm jealous of the clear glass you made! I did a couple of them last year and in once I cut out the centre of the roof after seeing that the original car had a glass roof. It looked so much better than having the odd line on the roof but it did unfortunately show more yellow perspex!
