Love the color. Well done Andrew. Yep it’s definitely coffee time. Gotta warm up my old bones. Sunny warm T-shirt weather one day and cold, rainy, windy jacket weather the next here in Indiana. Have a great weekend everyone! 🫵👍✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦
Steve, we drove through a blizzard yesterday en route to Innsbruck, Austria. Left home in t-shirts earlier in the day... Weird. Take care, brother. 🍁☕️👍👊
Thanks, Timo. Pretty simple resto this week, but compared to the starting point, it looks like a million bucks! Enjoyed your Porsche unboxing video! 🍁☕️👍👊🇨🇦✌️
HUGE improvement. I actually used to have two of these (thanks to my grandmother who knew how to spoil her #1 grandchild!). The original paint looked kind of dull IMHO, but that red really pops. Cheers from Ottawa!
Hey Andrrew, I enjoyed the restoration/custom video of the this Jaguar. well done as usual and I am still watching all your videos when I get the chance to do so. One Luv & Nuff rispek mon! Ricky.
Hi, Ricky! Great to hear from you, my friend, and I hope all is well! Thanks for touching base here. Can't wait till you're back at the bench for more of your awesome builds. Be cool! 🍁☕️😎
You're right. It ruins the look. I think Matchbox put trailer hitches on so many of their cars so that people would buy their accessary trailers too. 🍁☕️
Another beautiful restoration their Andrew I have always loved the jaguar and it doesn't matter which one it is but that one there is my favorite Jag of all Jags keep up the good work have a good one say hi to Petra for us and God bless my friend
lovely, great colour choice. :) the burgundy looks great on these old Jags. :) I have seen some Matchbox from that era bereft of every speck of paint. seems they sometimes used paint that wouldn't bond to zinc, and zinc oxide is a different candidate, too, in that regards. another reason why these castings need to be cleaned up.
Oh I didn’t know the hood opened…. That’s a neat feature on the older type matchbox Lesney products Love it. I am on the lookout for them older type matchbox Lesney product all the time now. Can’t find too many in that good of shape here in Alberta, Canada. And if I did find them they are way over priced. LOL
6K, eh? Not too shabby that, is it? Beautiful resto/mod, Andrew. That colour's much better than the gold to my eye. Sorry I'm late, just got in from work......👌🏻🇨🇦👏🏻🇬🇧👍🏻🇨🇭
Thanks, Jack. Been on the road myself, so the comment replies are coming in late this weekend. We survived a blizzard on a road trip to Austria. Happy to be settled in at the in-laws' place now. 🍁☕️👍✌️
Looks fantastic mate ,you picked a great colour for her ,l have to ask ,after you polished the body did you paint straight over or use some chemical to make sure the paint stuck . Looking forward to your next one mate ,mark from Australia.stay safe
Thanks, Mark. I usually lay down a clear sealer on a highly polished body. As you said, it helps the top coat adhere better. Greetings from Switzerland. 🍁☕️👍👊
Love the colour, nice 👍
Thanks! It looks the part now. Classy car. 🍁☕️👍👊
Sweet resto Andrew, congratulations on 6K Subscribers 👊🇦🇺🤝🇨🇭🇨🇦🇨🇦🍁
Thanks, KC. I think longevity is the key. Just hanging around here and not going away! The numbers trickle in. Take care, my man! 🍁☕️👍👊
Amazing job, it turned out beautifully, always remember this as the typical 60s Gangster car, because of that menacing front end.
Oh yes, great gangster car! 🍁☕️👊
Great build. That red is very nice. Super job as always Andrew!
Thanks, JZ. It was pretty well spent when I got hold of it in the beginning. Looking prettier now! 🍁☕️👍✌️
Nice job ! Scotland Neck, N.C.
Thanks, brother. Greetings from Switzerland. 🍁☕️👍✌️
Wonderful work as always Andrew!
Yes, I have one of the model here, but missing the hood!
And yeah I had one new, back in the day!
Cheers
Marc D
Thanks, Marc. I don't see too many around any more. Seems they're all getting scooped up, with or without hoods! 🍁☕️👍👊
@@MapleLeafCustoms As my hood is missing, my plan from long ago, was to make it into a gasser.....One day!
Stunning!! The color is magnificent. Incredible build!!
Thanks, Leo! The colour came out so well on this one. 🍁☕️👍👊
Love the color. Well done Andrew.
Yep it’s definitely coffee time. Gotta warm up my old bones. Sunny warm T-shirt weather one day and cold, rainy, windy jacket weather the next here in Indiana.

Outstanding! It brings a smile to my face when an old Lesney can make it to your bench!
Thanks, Mark. I've got no short supply of them, so more to come! 🍁☕️👊
Stunning paint job Andrew. You made a played out toy and brought it back to life. Well done.
Thanks, Timo. Pretty simple resto this week, but compared to the starting point, it looks like a million bucks! Enjoyed your Porsche unboxing video! 🍁☕️👍👊🇨🇦✌️
Love the look of the Jaguar, ready to be seen on the road, good to go with this project.
Thank you, Clayton! 🍁☕️👊👍
Beautiful restoration Andrew! The paint is gorgeous!
Pretty simple job on the big Cat. It cleaned up well! 🍁☕️👍

Nice restoration, details and paint job 👌 👍

I had this Jag as a kid. I thought the trailer hitch ruined the look, and I cut it off!
You're right. It ruins the look. I think Matchbox put trailer hitches on so many of their cars so that people would buy their accessary trailers too. 🍁☕️
Great job Andrew 👍🏻
Gotta love a Jag, right? 🍁☕️👍👊

Salut maple.

Thanks, Boris. Maybe one day! We'll make a plan! Spending the week in Austria now. Take care, buddy. 🍁☕️👍✌️
lovely, great colour choice. :) the burgundy looks great on these old Jags. :)
I have seen some Matchbox from that era bereft of every speck of paint. seems they sometimes used paint that wouldn't bond to zinc, and zinc oxide is a different candidate, too, in that regards. another reason why these castings need to be cleaned up.
It was about a bare a casting as I've seen. It certainly needed some TLC! Take care, my friend! 🍁☕️👍👊
Oh I didn’t know the hood opened…. That’s a neat feature on the older type matchbox Lesney products
Love it. I am on the lookout for them older type matchbox Lesney product all the time now. Can’t find too many in that good of shape here in Alberta, Canada.
And if I did find them they are way over priced. LOL
Thanks, Lindsay. They're not in abundance anymore, as everyone is snatching them up these days. I got this in a mail call, so I was lucky. 🍁☕️👊🇨🇦

Where did you get your Garage Diorama? Looks Awesome with that Jag in there
Thanks, John. It's been a while but I think it was an Ali Express cheapo. Does the job though. I added the tools and posters.🍁☕️👍
