  • This station wagon was a favourite choice for large families. With its spacious boot and powerful engine, this car became England's most exported vehicle of its time!
    These cars were often seen in summer heading off towards the coast towing caravans, boats or camper trailers.
    It became the annual holiday vehicle of choice for the cash strapped families of the 60s.

    Cut the icecreamsticks Down the middle. 😉 And with an Electric toothbrush you get the work done even faster and can make even more videoes. That Julie is a GEM!

    My Grandfather had a Victor saloon in sky blue with the front bench seat. Fun fact about him is that he learnt to drive BEFORE there was a driving test and he had driven a steam lorry! During WW2 he once had the job as a home guard of guarding a big hole caused by a V1.

    Elvis must have stopped on the way home to Alpha Centauri and put a statue of himself for us to find on Mars.
    Nice straight on restoration by the "king" of matchbox restorers!🤴🏻

    Good evening Marty from the state of Florida. Please don’t take my comment the wrong way! I Love your videos at 3 am when I need to get back to sleep. I find your smooth background music and quiet soothing description of your outstanding makeovers help me doze off. I end up watching a video about 5 different times before watching the whole video. Please go back to the soothing description of your work. Thanks again you have a talent for fine craftsmanship.

    Vauxhalls are not common in the US, but as a teen a buddy had two of them. The 1965 looked like somebody washed a 55 Chevy and it shrunk, the 67 was same deal but looked like a shrunken 57 Chevy. Cool little cars. Funny how he liked little cars... he was a huge guy.

    For a perfect mixing jar, clean old Tamiya jars with lacquer thinners. The glass jar, plastic lids and seals are all proof against this solvent and will provide a perfect sealing container
    to store paint.

    I'm in the closing stages of restoring a real one of these. A saloon. Just came in from the shed and your video pops up! The car itself came out in '61, so I presume you're referring to when Matchbox launched their's. My original showroom brochure calls that shade of yellow Primrose. Great restoration. Thanks.

    I still have a pair of Vauxhall FB rear lights that I got from a dismantler some 40 years ago; I used them to make a trailer board for my Land Rover. Of course, as a Land Rover owner, I was a bit surprised by your "most exported vehicle of its time" assertion!

    Nice job. Unusual for a drill bit to bend like that, must be very soft. When I put that statue on Mars I thought it wouldn't be found for a hundred years or so...

  • @jebsails2837
    @jebsails2837 5 років тому

    In the US the narrow stirrers are used for mixing beverages. The wide paint stirrers are called "pop sicile" sticks. Sweetened flavored water and or ice cream is frozen over about 2/3 the length of the stick. The protruding 1/3 if the stick is for hand to mouth operation. The Vauxhall tail lights remind me of the same units on a 1958 Chevrolet. Thanks again
