Really a superb job on this camper van. Like the upgraded seat. Can't wait to keep watching your videos.
A beautiful restoration. I wonder, does anyone else see the sad little face in this lovely camper? So sweet!
At 74, I currently live in a 38' motorhome (caravan) where I construct dynamic dioramas (each powered by Tesla battery cells) and work at a solar electric company. I like your videos - your work.
Thank you for sharing...
Very nice job it brings back my youth
That’s fantastic. Great job Danny
Very nice restore, love the paint job.... 👍
Hi, your camper- van looks fantastic ! And what I always love is the lovely background when you present the finished model !
Great performance!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Greetings and best wishes, stay healthy!
Very Beautiful resto,corgi got some nice models !
Incredible Restoration
I have no hesitation in saying this is one of your finest restorations yet. Would definitely love a full-size version of this! And those transparencies came out a real treat.
Excellent restore. Lovely greens & awesome interior. We had a green VW pop top camper when i was a kid. Funnest ride ever.
Very different casting . I like it a lot . Nice work as always . Mike Espo.............
Great restoration! You do nice work.
From distant memory as I had one when I was a kid, the seat cushion was just a piece of yellow sponge and was stuck to the base. The camper was also available in a purple finish as well as green. Great job you did !
Spot on - I still have my model (bought in 1964) and it does indeed have a piece of yellow sponge!
Fantastic work,well done.
Paint job on point there bro, crisp lines! Rad
Had this as a kid in this colour too, and it was a foam/sponge seat on the left that rotted with age so very few seats survive. Great resto fella and it comes in two other colours too so a collection to be made.
Nice job! I absolutely love this!
Awesome restoration, looking all like brand new and in original colours, love it! Your fake rivets look like the real thing too, great idea, nice one Danny👌👍😊
All the best, Nick.
Love that olive green, a superb job mate. Truly.
Great job Danny! Love it!
Really like what you have done here
Cute little Camper Van. Very nice restoration and a fine result. Looks beautiful.
That was a very rough looking model but it looks great now. Thanks for sharing this.
I have seen a Thames van here in the States, at an auction. Honestly this one started in much better condition than the real thing. I like those cool, odd cars because its not the everyday thing, I had to take some pictures. This is a beautiful restoration.
I had one!! the seat was just a bit of foam , but your upgrade is much better .Good restoration !!
I really love these little corgi’s. The scale the detail everything about them. I’ve said before that they’re so underrated and somewhat over looked by a lot of restorers. It’s great to see some being revived on UA-cam. Cheers Danny, for the great content. All the best Rob 🇬🇧
You wowed me again! 👍😁
Cool Restoration!
Looks good! And cool casting
Nice one Bruce!
Very very nice
I've never had toy van's growing up but they look cool.
Beautiful restoration! Looks like it came right out of the box. Quality workmanship always pays off in the end.😍
Lovely job as always Danny :)
Nice job.
Very nice 👍🏻 awesome work as always 🔥👍🏻
Awesome project.
This is what I will be doing when I retire.
Excellent work
Great job on this restoration, and a rather well-produced video that is enjoyable to watch.
Fantastic work as usual. What a great casting, great detail.
wow nice work !! congratulations !!
Hello Danny l. Have one to restore thanks for the tutorial great restoration looks fantastic

Nice one Danny, looks good .
Very cool casting.nice job as usual. ;)
Nicely done!
I really love this model and you did a great job restoring it!
Wow that’s was a BRILLIANT job!!!
Very smart looking Thames Camper Van . Great restoration Danny 👍
Cracking job Danny, I'm digging these larger scale corgi restorations, top stuff👍
Fantastic restoration, love that casting.
Well done very very very good I can't tell you how much I appreciate it
Beautiful work, I always enjoy watching your work.
Spot on, another awesome restoration. I enjoy your work. Continue please to put your brilliant talent on display! Good day to you!
brilliant as usual!...
This is a fantastic restoration for sure. Love the blinds and the two tone paint
Awesome!!!!!!!!! You rock!!!
Beautiful restoration! Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes a real cool toy. Good job bringing it back.
I don't know what it is with restoration videos like these but they were fun to watch. Must have been a nostalgia thing with these old toys. By the way, new subscriber here. Keep up the awesome work in your future resto/mods.
Très beau travail 👏 !
Awsome love that you keept the same colors of the original really like that model congrats Danny, in general i always like your work but today i really enjoy this restoration. Love this van.
Gee, what a nice model! Love it!
You did a B'y Ripper Job!
Cheers
I really like how the van turned out.
Nice, neat job Danny, looks great. That looks like a particularly good casting; some of these Corgis were excellent models. It always amazes me how well these 50/60 year old toys stood-up to decades of play. Imagine if the manufacturers HAD used primer; many of these cars would still be perfect underneath the chipped paint.
Keep up the good work, I do enjoy these restorations.
All the Best,
Dougie.

truly fascinating
Nice Job. Just about to start restoring a white and blue one. 👌👌
That is a really neat casting, and a top notch restoration! Plus its number 420,and green, which makes it even cooler!🥴👍
Top job Danny! Nice colour match on this one, it definitely looks a lot nicer than what you started with.
What a beautiful campervan
That has to be one of the coolest car ever I'm now going on eBay to get one
Beautiful
Dan the diecast man does it again, lol. Love it.
This looks so good restored. Love the colours and the process you use.
This camper is a beauty 🔥🔥🔥
Very good job Danny, its a 420 that looks smoking !!!
A+++++!!!
wow! superior work. very well done.
Looks good Danny well done Brian Thailand
Looks great Danny! Made me laugh when you were cleaning the wheels, because I misheard it as "a damn cotton bud" instead of "a damp cotton bud"! 😄😄
Wow, you did a great job!
EXELENT.. Great restoration amazing video
really nice!
Hello Danny, the restoration looks better than when the model was new. Only one thing, the only thing missing was a thin sliver of foam rubber that perishes overtime, but the seat you created looks so much better, I don't know why they used foam unless it was meant to be a cushion.
Right, yes I was thinking it may have been a real cushion of some sort.
Nice Danny! I love how Corgi did the blinds. Great detail!
simply awesome
Vantastic!
kool , thanx...never seen this car/van before....neat one , Happy Friday
Robert
Hay man very good gob I like the restoration u do it looks good 👍👍👍
🤔👉AWESOME casting and restoration!! 👍😁✌🚙
Nice leafy green paint! Wonder if it matched anything this van’s seen in its past life... 😎
Beautiful resto
Beauty! ❤
Beautiful I liked it so much I just went to eBay and ordered 114 bucks it looks like it's complete about the same shape as what yours was😁
Awesome,Danny.i don't know why Corgi never made a van version,as before the workhorse transit,these were used by many traders.
Holy cow,so many fiddly bits to work with. Looked more like diecast surgery. LOL. Brilliant restoration.
Nice job Danny very clean crisp beautiful as always keep up the good work 😺👍🏿
superb resto DANNY as good a finish as corgi would have done in the 1960/s and probably better more corgi and dinky resto/s excellent work sir.
This model came in multiple different lower body colors besides green. Collecting every color of them would be fun.
a1 job danny keep it up
