Matchbox renovation of Racing Car Transporter No. K-7 Super Kings. Diecast model toy.

- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- The Racing Transporter is a large Lesney model from 1973. It was built on fast Superfast wheels as an extension of the 1-75 series. It is a futuristic vehicle. In fact, it was probably never mass-produced. You can turn on subtitles in your language with the action commentary in the video. The model was also equipped with a Formula 1 car, which is currently being transported by this truck. My copy was in fairly good condition, unfortunately it did not have the front suspension and wheels. Mainly in this video, I focused on making a replacement suspension from high-strength plastic and casting new wheels in black-tinted polyurethane resin. For a complete effect, I also made a cardboard box with a weight of 250, which I printed in a digital printing house. Thank you for watching the movie, I publish videos with the repair of cars on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
As usual incredible work Paul!!!! The dollar stores are going to have a spike in sales of spatulas this month lol. Great final product paint, decals and details. You’re a true artist and a joy to watch, can’t wait for your next video.
Thank you very much John
WOW! Growing up I had a friend who had this truck, I was so jealous of him. I was so young I can not remember who the friend was, but I remember playing with it when visiting his house. Thanks for the memories. Never stop this channel! 👍
Thank you very much
🏁Pole position for Paul's team 🥇
Thank you very much
I love seeing rivets drilled out.
Very precise job.
Drilled out thousands
Thank you very much
What an excellent restoration of a cute little vehicle Paulie
Any kid would be proud to own that beauty, including this 60 year old kid. Fine work, brother.
Cool. Thank you very much
Man… you could be a millionare if you sell that AXLE machine in big numbers, but good price.
✌️ That is a fantastic idea
Thank you very much
Wonderful, Paul! You've recovered the special nature of the transporter as it whisks the race car from the factory to the track.
Bravo!
Thank you very much Randy
I remember getting this for Christmas in 1973 when I was 12. It reminded me of Gerry Anderson shows like UFO or Thunderbirds. I was delighted with it. Mine had the purple car in it. Great work as ever Paul.
I had the same feeling too, that this was a Gerry Anderson design.
It’s a beautiful design.
Thanks for sharing!
This brings back memories. I had this one as a kid, I can remember the box so I must have gotten it new although I lost or broke the race car early on. I don't remember the tools in the toolbox being painted but it might have varied with production runs.
I used to open the gullwing doors and put 1/72 scale soldiers in there to shoot at whoever I imagined was chasing them. 😀
Cool
Just today I finally got this model.
Without a box, but in excellent condition. It's like meeting an old friend.
And those little screws are a real upgrade for the model. Great job! Thanks for sharing. =)
Thank you very much
Never fail to turn out a piece of art great work on the suspension Paul, thank you for video...
Paul ☘☘
Glad you enjoyed it
I grew up with Matchbox and not Hotwheels, and I like their futuristic cars.. It's so simple and stylish and I also love the box and the art as well.
Thank you very much
Had this when I was a kid loved it. Great to see it like new. Love the box you made.
Someone had it.....I remember the three horns on the cab
Encore une magnifique restauration...merci Paul
merci beaucoup
Great work Paul on making all the missing parts..Fantastic...
Thank you very much Brian
Awesome! I just finished watching your Dodge and Vauxhall Guildsman 1 video and this one popped up straight after! I love watching your videos!
Thank you very much Marc
My favorite toy from 1970s, never thought I would see it again!
Cool
I have this model too in white that I am restoring soon.
Very interesting video paul and a great fix on the front suspension, excellent.
All the best Martin 👍
Thank you very much Martin
Excelente, muy ingenioso con respecto a tú máquina de soldar. Tienes un don muy especial. Saludos y bendiciones desde Venezuela
Muchas gracias
This was incredible... great work ...got to keep my eyes open for this at flea markets.
Thank you very much
Model może być fikcyjny...
Twoja doskonała renowacja jest absolutnie prawdziwa 👍🏼
Jak wiele badań idzie w projektowaniu i wykonaniu tak indywidualnej części jak przednie zawieszenie.... 😎👍🏼
Na marginesie... Dziękuję za wgląd w pracę legendarnej spawarki osiowej🙏🏼 (7:57 - 8:02)
Paweł, jestem zachwycona, zdecydowanie kciuki ode mnie za to 👍🏼
Dzięki za udostępnienie 🙏🏼
Trzymaj się zdrowo i bezpiecznie i nie ustawaj w wysiłkach, mój przyjacielu 👍🏼
Miłego tygodnia dla Ciebie i Twojej rodziny.
Pozdrowienia od zwariowanego na punkcie śmierci staruszka z wybrzeża Morza Północnego. 👋🏼
😎🏆🏁🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
The model may be fictitious...
Your excellent restoration is absolutely real.👍🏼
How much research goes into designing and making such an individual part as the front suspension.... 😎👍🏼
Aside... Thank you for the insight into the workings of your legendary axis welder🙏🏼 (7:57 - 8:02)
Paul, I'm thrilled, definitely a thumbs up from me for this 👍🏼
Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼
Stay safe and sound and keep up the good work, mate 👍🏼
Have a great week to you and your family.
Greetings from the die cast crazy old man on the North Seashore. 👋🏼
😎🏆🏁🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Das Modell mag fiktiv sein...
Deine exzellente Restaurierung ist absolut real.👍🏼
Wieviel Recherche gehört dazu, ein solches Einzelteil wie die Vorderradaufhängung zu konstruieren und anzufertigen... 😎👍🏼
Nebenbei... Vielen Dank für den Einblick in die Funktionsweise deines legendären Achsenschweißgerätes🙏🏼 (7:57 - 8:02)
Paul, ich bin begeistert, von mir ganz klar ein Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼
Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼
Bleib gesund und munter und mach weiter so, mein Freund 👍🏼
Dir und Deiner Familie noch eine schöne Woche.

I could see this being converted into an airport crash tender....
👨🚒🙄😆

That's an idea 🙄😁🤣

Magnificent restoration Paul Cheers Michael
Thank you very much Michael
Brilliant 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Nice, very clever piece of ‘engineering’ and it looks terrific!
Thank you very much!
I used to have one just like that. It also had a green racing car 🏎️ in it. Good old days. I don't know where it is now. Maybe it just got refurbished 😃
Cool
omg remember being bought this in about 1975 ,loved the orange windows and the formulae one car in the back i think mine was purple
Cool
Had one of these as a kid,same color ,darn you brought back a long forgotten memory
Cool
Nice too see the car of my childhood. I´ve owned this truck. Thx to show it....
Very cool!
I have 4 of these, originally came in the early 70s gran prix transporter set
Beautiful job Paul, well done 👍
Thank you so much 😀
So much attention to detail. Great job on making the missing parts. I love watching your videos and how it all comes together, even the box. 💕😊
Thank you very much Joalla
Great job Paul, you take me in to my childhood. This transporter was my favorite toy in that days. The only difference I have green single seater race car in the back. In that days I have many K7 series such as blue Leyland car carier with beige Ford Capri on it, red Leyland Fighter jet carier, white Mack with power boat etc. All gone :( I am still caring Jaguar XJ6 with Caravan and yellow Mack with Exavator in the back. I have also Honda motorcyle carier nearly broken without bike.
Thank you very much , cool
This vehicle reminds me of the ones on Captain Scarlett and Jo 90 with tge retro futuristic styling , great restoration Paul 👍
Thank you very much Jerry
A rare and different Super King . Great work as always .
Never seen this one at any sale or flea market . NICEEEEE.
Mike.
Thank you very much Mike
I've always liked this model, and had one as a kid.
There was also one for sale in my suburb a few months ago, and they were asking $150 in mint condition with the race car, but no box.
In the end, I didn't buy it.
Great resto Paul !
👍👨🚒
$ 150 is a very high price. Kind regards
@@PaulRestorer Yes it was !
Amazing that you could tap something that small. Must be a slow but steady process.
Thank you very much
Happy Halloween, Paul! Yup-yup, I did a K-7 like... a year ago. Gaslands of course, lol. Yours came out awesome. I wish You'd do some gaslands builds though 👍
Thank you very much
Grande 👋la saldatrice fatta con componenti del "SPOT " macchinario per raddrizzare auto ... 👍👏
Grazie mille
Bravo ! Toujours super passionnant. J'ai 61 ans. Ces Matchbox étaient de mon enfance. En fait c'est au moment où la marque a commencé à faire des modèles qui n'avaient plus rien à voir avec la réalité. C'est d'ailleurs devenu de plus en plus délirant avec les dragsters et les hot Rod, certains inspirés de ceux de Ed Roth. Sont apparus les Hot Wheels avec leurs pistes orange. Je soupçonne ce modèle d'être dans l'esprit de la série des Thunderbirds ;) Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo.
merci beaucoup
Αγαπητέ Paul, πάντα μου άρεσαν ειδικά οχήματα. Λεωφορεία τρακτέρ φορτηγά και άλλα. Στα χέρια σας αυτά περνούν άλλη ζωή!!!👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟💥💥💥
Ευχαριστώ πολύ
J'ai le même à l'état neuf dans sa boite d'origine, votre travail est fabuleux, tous les détails et mêmes ceux de la boite sont exactement identiques !! Incroyable ! Well done !!
super salutations
It’s so cute and adorable
Thank you very much Michael
Love the restoration Paul!
Thankyou very much Ron
Once upon a time I had one. Thanks to you, this film brings back childhood memories
Cieszę się ,bo wspomnienia są bezcenne. Pozdrawiam
Mais um trabalho perfeito, parabéns meu amigo!
Muito obrigado Mauricio
ANOTHER epic restoration! And another great die-cast model I wish I could have again! I had some of the classic Matchbox from the 70's especially since I was a 70's kid. I loved Matchbox cars and trucks, some more than Hot Wheels! Those big rear wheels, the suspension, and the unique features they had. They may not have been as "fast" as a Hot Wheels, but they made up for it with better details, and some wild and bizarre models as well as some great licensed cars and trucks. Majorette was another great Die-Cast company. Their 70's lines were amazing, but I can't remember ever seeing them in a Store here in the Midwest. Somehow I had a couple of them and some other odd ball ones.
Thank you very much , cool
All this work makes me glad I found one at the thrift store complete and the race car for the back.
Cool
I had the same one in the 70's!!! What memories! You made my day... Thank you
Cool
I picked up one of these at a "car boot sale" a few years ago. I remembered having one as a kid.
No box, but the windscreen and rear cover were intact (if a little smoky from microscratches). $AUD $15. Still had the little yellow F1 car inside it, too.
A dealer in "classic toys" had one "IN the original box" (box was munted to hell. Torn, no clear window) and all of the clear parts were broken (front windscreen was shattered, rear cover was cracked and missing a chunk) - and it was also missing the little racing car. He wanted "$150" because it was "still in the original box".
$150 is way overpriced.
@@PaulRestorer Exactly.
Finding old pieces like these, that are still in "goodish" condition is like fossicking for gemstones. Occasionally you find a great one that needs a little polish but is otherwise fine.
Some others really demand a full restoration.
Salut Paul, Super beau ce camion, bravo. Salutations de Suisse 🇨🇭 et à bientôt 👍 👍 👍 👍.
merci beaucoup Pedro
I just enjoy to see how you reproduce broken pieces. Beautiful
Thank you very much
it turned out really well, congratulations
Thank you very much
Beautiful restoration again. Big big bravo man 👏👏👏👏
Oh very nicely done, thanks Paul, stay safe
Thank you very much Val
Again a vehicle that is featuring in my collection as a young boy.😀 !!!!
Mine has a lost or broken plexiglass canopy though, as far as i can remember.
Cool
That is so awesome that would be great to patient it I would love to have one. Great 👍 job, I enjoy watching you 👍
Thank you very much
Very impressive 10/10. Will watch again
Thank you very much
Even now you have made it a party again Paul. As usual it has become a beautiful gem.
Thank you very much
Ech... Wspomnienia dzieciństwa. Jeden z tych "dziwnych" pojazdów, które rozbudzały wyobraźnię, a z drugiej nie pasowały do Matchbox-owej wielkości. Nie wiem, czy w części egzemplarzy wnętrze nie było malowane na srebrno. Tak mi się kojarzy z auta kolegi z podstawówki.
Świetna robota!
Dziękuję i pozdrawiam
Paul that's wicked! Absolutely love it.. that hauler was a favorite of mine as a kid.
Thank you very much Joey
Everyone has already said it, so I’ll say it too…..
Another brilliant restoration
And I like the design of this die cast. I like the gull wing doors.
Thank you very much
Another one of my childhood toys! I can’t wait to see which one of my old ones you repair next!
Cool
Top class resto as always paul usually the glass canopy is missing on this model im impressed how you made the wheels axle and suspension from raw materials the box is impressive as well you will need to find another racing car to go in that box as you've put it in the car transporter
Thank you very much Andrew
I got one of those for Christmas as a kid I think it was 76/77
Cool
I had this too!! It's like I keep seeing all my favourite toys of old being given new life by proxy 😁
Cool
سيارة فريدة من نوعها COOL video paul 👍🏼
Thank you very much
Paint is very smooth for a spray can, good job.
Thank you! Cheers!
My cousin used to have one of these in black. I used to play it everytime we went them. It was a little bigger than Matchbox' cars and heavy, but more fun to play with.
Cool
Great job on the restoration, even recreating the box!
Thank you very much
Another amazing restoration these videos never get old
Thank you very much
awesome job !!! I can remember getting one of those in the early 70s one of my favorites!!!
Love these videos Thanks.
Thank you very much
I had this one too! I had little Matchbox-scale motorcycle too that I used to keep in the compartment behind the cab - all these years I thought it came with the vehicle, but I guess I was wrong.
cool
💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍
Você é o melhor dos melhores! Parabéns!! E obrigado!
Muito obrigado
Richtig gut geworden. Habe so einen in blau
Vielen Dank, cool
Great job Paul I'm currently working on restoring my 72 transporter as well, love your videos. Keep up the great work!!

Thank you very much
Fantastic work, Paul! This is an expert level restoration of a classic. I'm doing a K-7 right now, to be released on March 11th, but taking it in an entirely different direction! 🍁☕👍
Thank you very much, I will definitely watch it
Your job is perfect and hipnotic.Congratulations!
Thank you very much Marcello

I used to have this model too when I was a kid. Unfortunately It got lost after several times moving to other houses.
It should say “Team Matchbox,” you have it backwards. Nice restoration
Thank you very much
That is soo cool! I had this one as a kid.
Super
Supberb Wish some one could make a real one!! Beautiful resto of a magnificent driving machine!
Thank you very much
Beautiful Restoration 😍👍👍
Very nice work always like what you do thanks 👍 Lee
Thank you very much Lee
Fantastic Work, congratulations!!
Hello Paul. Very good job. Do you have a video to show how you design new stickers? Thank you
yes, it's on my channel
My grandpa has two of these in white, in pretty good condition because they've only been played with very occasionally, otherwise they've been in a rolling drawer under a bed for the better part of 20 years. I think both of them are mostly intact, just some mild cracking on the canopy and one of the little cars is awol
Cool
had a little f1 car in it too
cool
I had one of those. I was Missing the yellow glass cover
I had this one. Great job.
Cool
Díky za milou vzpomínku, býval to můj nejvíc nejlepší model, vlastnil jsem ho v sadě Grand Prix Set spolu s dalšími čtyřmi závoďáky, jen si pamatuju, že jedním z nich byl De Tomaso Pantera. Kde jim je asi konec.
S přátelským pozdravem
This would have to be one of your best restorations Paul,... I bet even Santa Clause would like to find it in his Christmas Stocking ......👍
Thank you very much
Belíssimo trabalho Paul. Parabéns. Há bonito relógio.
Grazie mille
Sempre meglio!!! BELLISSIMO!!! 👍👍👍
Grazie mille
Once again great job! i like these wheels, looks like the same
