    Lovely restoration Job. My dad took his RAF driving test on one of these so it certainly brings back memories of my childhood. If I remember correctly Vauxhall had a similar shape body and someone around here is still driving one. Fantastic cars and built like a tank to last a lifetime. Enjoyed the video.

    Lovely restoration, Rob. I love those old, basic Dinky cars. There is a charm to them that no other toy make has. That beige/brown colour was a favourite of Dinky - I have a station wagon in exactly that colour. The usual colour for the Vanguard, an immediate post war vehicle (1947), was black, due to post war shortages. I have a 1/76 scale model of one in RAF blue - they were used as staff vehicles, and it's an attractive look. But leaving your model it as it would have looked when new, was the right choice; it's simple, understated, and quite lovely. Nice one.

    It's really amazing to see how similar cars of the time were, just like nowadays. This Vanguard could almost be a Nash 'airflyte', or a Peugeot 203. Love your videos by the way, it really gives me inspiration to start working on my own Matchboxes.

  • @derrickroe9791
    @derrickroe9791 5 років тому

    Hi Rob...looks fantastic and I like the fact that you didn't over restore it and kept the wheels original as a nod to it's original condition. The bases on these older Dinky toys weren't painted...they were "cold blued". It is a bit more expensive than painting but a small bottle will last forever. It just needs the old " blue" taking off with a rotary tool and a little bit of the bluing solution painting on. The result is amazing and looks authentic. Hope you restore some more of the models from the same era, they are well worth the effort.
