- G'day Viewers! I've always wanted an original early Corgi 267 Batmobile and I've finally had the chance to restore one, I hope you enjoy the video!
A MASSIVE shout out to Neil at Austins Wetwurx for his kind donation that made this restoration possible!
now THIS is the toy batmobile I had when I was a child, watching Adam West and Fred Ward playing the dynamic duo on TV in the 1960's!
Yep, it's peak Batmobile for me too. Thank you for watching!
Burt Ward
Used to play with one of these when I was a kid, no idea what happened to it. Great job!
Thank you very much. I suspect like most of these childhood things they either get destroyed or disappear down a black hole.
Holy Headache PB. What a epic Bat Adventure. I don't know if I am game to do mine after watching that. Great job PB, looks fantastic. 👏
Ah go on, what's the worst that could happen 🤣 Thank You
Incredible job..beautiful Batmobile
Thank you for saying so Cleto!
Just starting my own 267 restoration. Your experience is gonna help. Cheers.
That great to hear, thank you and good luck on yours.
Nice restoration PB's turned out fab dispite that fin creating a headache, nice results have a great weekend coming👊😊 cheers🍻🍺 KC 🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺😎👍
Ah well, it’s the challenges that make it fun, right? Maybe.
“I bet Batman is the only one in the world with a hand steady enough to paint false fingerprints”, kind of reflects your painting skills PB.. Great job looks fantastic..
That’s very kind of you to say, thank you.
Wow. That looked fiddly! Great work and of course, you are correct, this is the only true Batmobile.
Thanks Andrew, it was fiddly. I think I’ve upset at least one viewer by claiming it’s the best Batmobile, but it’s mine.
Thanks for the mention Pete glad my videos have helped you out, you’ve made a fantastic job on that with the poor state it was in originally.
All the best, Bob😉👍
Corgi Bob! Mate, your videos helped me with my Uncle Olds and I could never have sorted my 261 Bond car without your videos. Humbled to have a legend of the diecast community comment on my video, hope all is well with you and we get to see you back soon.
You’re right about that! I love corgi’s 66 Batmobile! Glad I just got the reissue Corgi Batmobile along with the original version! Great jobs! Amazing work!👌😎👍👉❤️
Thank You Anibal, yes 66 Batmobile is the greatest Batmobile, no contest. The re-issue looks like a nice bit of kit, I saw some pics of one pulled apart and it looks to be the same except for a revised chain cutter.
Hey, PB! I’m with you in that this is THE Batmobile, of all Batmobiles. I’ve seen a few of these done online now, and I think yours sets the standard as the new tutorial for anyone attempting such an ambitious undertaking. 🏆I most appreciate the honesty of your videos, showing mistakes and all, and of course the fixes. Morning coffee, an original Batmobile and some smooth jazz. What a great start to my day! Gonna be hard to beat this one this weekend. Thanks, my friend. Warm greetings from Switzerland! 🍁🦇👊☕
Thanks Andrew! I was thinking the 3rd Annual Porsche Build must be coming up soon?
@@PBsRetroRestorations In the Spring. March 11th. Save the date, PB!
What a box of design delights this car is. From chain cutter to rocket launcher via via atomic flame. Corgi must have spent hours designing it. You brought it back from the brink of destruction to looking great.
Thank You. They're all amazing feats of engineering, I've done the Bond Aston and U.N.C.L.E Oldsmobile, and I think the Aston is the trickiest of them to put back together. I'd like to have a go at the Green Hornet car too, but haven't found a suitable i.e. affordable candidate.
Absolutely stunning restoration Peter, you showed us the pitfalls on this restoration witch is perfect, great finish, something to be proud of .
All the best Martin 👍
Thank you Martin!
Great job.....the track is looking fantastic....thank you for help keeping this hobby going strong...and most importantly FUN
Thank You David. You have to keep it fun, or it stops being a hobby.
Beautiful restoration PB, really like all types of batmobiles, but this is holy grail of all , you sir did a fantastic job on reshaping the tail fin 👍.I just decided to drop in and check out your channel and a treat it was, I too have followed the restoration works of Corgi Bob & Martin Dare, two very well respected restorers in this hobby. Enjoyed your restoration PB👍,I’ll be dropping in again, see ya.👋😎🚙🚛🚗
Thank you Jeff, that's very kind of you to say. Bob and Martin are great blokes, I've learned a lot from their videos. See you again soon, ta.
Really great work! Brings back childhood memories. I still have my Corgi Batmobile from childhood.
Thank you very much, that's what I like to hear.
Bat-tastic resto PB. My all time favorite Bat Vehicle!
Thanks Ron! I got to the Tavern late and heard I’d missed ya (was at a Cars and Coffee show, you know how it goes 😎)
@@PBsRetroRestorations sorry I missed you, had to run and pick up my wife from work. Hopefully I will catch you next time. Happy holidays PB!
Nice job PB, I had some issues to re-assemble mine as well so made a little foam jig to hold the Batmobile in place and worked out great. Beautiful work.
Thank you Ardy, I should have made one too.
Fantastic job. Had one of these a long time ago. Great to see a well loved model brought back to life!
Thank you Scott, I’m glad to have been able to rescue it.
Just thinking started on a restoration journey on a Batmobile , so impressed that is wonderful work. I love your commentary on it , makes it seem a bit more accessible for the intimidated starter 😂
Thank you Peter! That's what I like hearing, intimidating is the word and it stops so many folk, myself included from having a go. But I figure if they go together, they come apart and there's only so many parts in there and loads of videos on the net to help, so why not have a crack.
Looks amazing! If you have an old one and the skills then beautiful! Happy I got both versions original in mint condition in the box😊
Thank you! Mint originals are pretty pricey these days, so even with the expense of reproduction parts it was a more affordable option for me for sure, thank you for watching.
@@PBsRetroRestorations You did a great job!
That’s an amazing restoration. What I was mostly very impressed by was how you repaired that fin. Unbelievable bro great job.
Thank you Mike, I was pleased with how it all came out too.
Mate, great video !!!!!
Just picked up two Corgi Batmobiles, one in pretty decent nick and the other pretty trashed.
Just going to leave the good one (first edition) and try a resto on the other.
Your video makes good sense for me to have a crack.
Cheers mate.
Oh yeah, i picked the pair up for the grand sum of $4 !!!!!
Thank you Dave, I’m glad it’s gee’d ya up to have a go. It’s not too hard honestly, the Bond car is tougher. And $4.00, you grub lol nice score.
@@PBsRetroRestorations Grub…..LOL
Where do you get your retro parts? Seen a guy on EBay here in Melbourne selling some. Just curious as a lot of retro stuff isn’t up to standard a lot of the times.
@@DaKaM_ART I got my Batmobile parts from Recover Toy (they’re in Melbourne) most of their stuff is pretty good. But if you order from the website, some of it may not be in stock, if you get it from his eBay you know it IS in stock. Postage isn’t free on the site, but the parts are priced a touch lower also. Hope that helps.
@@PBsRetroRestorations that helps a heap, cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice job mate
One of the more intricate old school diecast builds I've seen 👍
Thanks BK, I’m not sure if this is more painful than the Bond Aston, but it’s close.
Have to say,best restoration of the Bat Mobile I’ve seen yet 👏🏽😄!! Great job 👍🏽! As a kid I had 3 Bat Models and 1 Bat Boat . I wish I would have taken better care of them, not knowing how much they’re worth and sought after today .
Wow, thank you very much! They were toys at the end of the day, and the reason they're so sought after is because people like us had a great time playing with / wrecking them back in the day. Thank you for watching!
I remember the Corgi Batmobile when I was a kid!!!❤ I also restored one, and gave it to my neighbor as a gift!!!
That was very kind of you, it's a wonderful toy that still means so much to so many people nearly 60 years after it first came out.
Nice And Amazing Custom Jobs..You Really The Man...Cool Final Result. Like
Thanks Kibbo!
Excellent work mate , you really came up trumps there , showing just how deceptively awkward these cars are to do ,thanks for the shout out always happy to help out 😁great job Pete 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Neil, no worries and thank you again! I had a shout out for you in the intro I had to cut too (I posted it on the DMC) I don’t know how the assembly line workers knocked these out at a commercial pace.
Holy patience PB, that was epic! What a thing of beauty you’ve created 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
You’re right mate. No Batmobile like this one and no Dynamlc Duo like Adam West and Burt Ward.
Proper, classy job...... nice one!
Thank you. It really is a great show, good harmless fun.
well done , one restoration that is not for the faint hearted .
Thank you Shane, and thanks again for your advice on the 'red' paint.
Shane, he does mention you here :). Do you see your batmobile restos...I would be very interested.
Nice restoration, details and paint job 👍👍
Thanks Joe!
Had 1 new, just bought a 1st edition, needs full resto, but it had to be the 1st ed. Great job on the video
I never had one as kid, but agreed absolutely has to be the first edition ones, I'm not a big fan of the whizzwheels ones. Thank you very much, glad you liked the video.
love the satin finish as i feel its more valuable because of the effort of restoring it. amazing!
Thank you, that's a nice way of thinking about it, usually folk say any value is gone once you pull them apart. Appreciate you watching and your feedback.
Great job Peter and looks awesome 👍
Thank you Mark!
@@PBsRetroRestorations you're welcome 😊
So cool custom build bro,nice restoration
Thank you!
WOW, awesome job PB.
Thank you Lord Humungus!
I don’t know, but I can watch restoration of corgi Batmobiles all the day long. you did an incredible job! I have several originals that don’t need restoration. One thing, though the music was starting to get on my nerves. Maybe change it up a little while working on the model.
Thank you. Yeah, I used to play music when I was working on cars, and then I'd have to mute the lot because of copyright claims, and the music used to use was grating and repetitive. I stopped having my radio on while I worked so I don't need to do use the terrible stock music like I used to, but thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you liked the video otherwise 😊
Amazing restoration you did a fantastic job well done 👍.
Thank you Adrian, glad you like it.
watched a number of resto vids of this casting. everyone says it a pain in the you know what to deal with die to all the pieces. I'd never attempt this task at this point in my skill level. only a professional like yourself can take this one on and make it look this good. amazing job my friend hope alls well on the pb front
It is a bit of a pain, once you’d done a few of them it’d get easier. Can’t see myself doing another one though 😀
I liked your argument in the beginning of the video. " The 1966 Batmobile is the best ever made, anyone telling you differently...is wrong". Lol. Cracked me up!🤣😅 beautifully restored.
Thank you Jean! Well you can't argue with that Batmobile fact can you? 😎 To me none of the others come close. Glad you got a laugh, thank you!
I paid £120 for a mint first edition, I always wanted one as a kid, I still am but with adult money😁
Adult money helps. I think that's why I have a diecast problem now, they were a precious thing when you don't have a lot of money, and now I have adult money, I rarely deny myself. Send Help 😔🤣
Fantastic restoration mate!
Subbed 👍
Repeats of the Adam West tv series were my introduction to Batman in the early 80s. I had this Corgi Batmobile it was missing the rockets but it launched matchsticks perfectly 😂
Thank you. I was the same with the 80's re-runs. My son prefers 1966 Batman over the new ones too, which makes me happy. Thank you for watching and subscribing!
Great job PB👍🏼
Thank you!
Great work Mr PB.. Bat good..
Thanks Brian!
Congrats. This looks very difficult. I have 2 old ones I wanted to restore to one, but I don't even going to try.
Thank you! You should have a go at doing it, at least you've got two if the first one doesn't work out.
Proud of ya Pete you've got to be pleased with that. I will tackle my version at some point honest.....regards PJ;)
Thank you PJ, I am very pleased with it.
Batacracking Pete what a gorgeous model. Well done. Hhhhmmmm don't know if I'm game enough to pull my one apart just to replace the screen, but I do have a later version to practice on first. Again excellent restoration. Cheers Michael
Yeah, and you’ll have to pull the firing mechanism out too….. thank you!
The first addition batmobile is the best one in every. And the restoration you've done is awesome. The one I have is thre later addition with the bat boat. No where as impressive as the fist addition 😊
Thank You Rita! I waited a LONG time to get one I could afford, and it still cost a bit in parts even with Neil's astonishing donation to get me over the line with it. It's the bat-hubbed wheels that make the first edition special for me.
Great job! That looked difficult as hell!
Thanks Walt, I'm glad I had Corgi Bob's video to help me that's for sure. I don't think I'll ever do another one 😊
Great job! I think you just made up my mind...I have a C 107 from 1970 (matte black with the boat) that needs restored and quite frankly, I don't think I can pull it off.
Thank you. I didn't think I could either, and I got a lot of help from watching Corgi Bob too.
A great video ,just bought a second issue one to do,thank you.
Thank you Steven, that’s very kind of you.
Holy restoration, Batman! If I had a dollar for everytime I had Blue Tack on me bum Robin, I'd be rich. You sre rich Batman. Well don't tell Alfred about this. Let's keep it between us.
😆 Bruce Wayne, his youthful ward and a pack of blutac, good times at Wayne Manor lol.
Great job Pete awesome mate 👍
Thank you Chris!
Holy restoration! That was a difficult one to put together. You have to wonder how they managed it in the factories.
Thank you! And to smash them out at the rate required for manufacturing, it boggles the mind.
Just fantastic Gazza
Thank you Gary!
Very excellent work indeed
Thank you Marcus, thank you for watching.
Robin, quick! Bring me the car keys.. No! Not the Imperial, the batmobile!! Holy moses Bruce, I mean Batman loool. Those bat wings are tricky to straighten, that early one got longer tips. You got it perfectly my friend😎👍🏻 sweet batmobile. I have the second edition with tow hook. It's been with me like 40 years and waiting restoration haha. They say here: "hiljaa hyvä tulee" (good comes by slow)
Lol thanks Asko, I’ve got some left over parts if there’s anything you need for yours.
Great car.. nice paint job.
Thank you Shawna! Thank you for watching too.
You’re a genius patience of a saint it’s a masterpiece
I don't know about genius, but thank you very much!
Excellent job!!
Thank you very much.
Wow great job mate
Thank you very much.
Nice job
Thank you John!
I might not be first but I still gotta get me some PB magic, Batmobile of this era still alludes me. I have the one with the tow hook and crap wheels. Nice work brother. Cheer's JV
We can’t all be first JV, stay strong 😆
I’d wanted one for years, and yeah I don’t like the Whizwheels version, had to have the bathubs.
@@PBsRetroRestorations Might have to retro fit some. HEY!.
Holy Bat hobby. It looks great with the flat paint job. Way to go.
Thanks Ken, I think the ‘original’ finish is a touch shinier than mine but I like the look of how it came out too.
Great restro,iv half a dozen wrecks to go through to make 3 different one then pick up a bat boat,still need the windscreen parts and usual aerials and a couple of figures so down to costs but plan to get them done in the new year.
Yes, the cost of parts is the killer. And of course every wrecked one seems to have the same things wrecked on it.
Thank you very much!
You done yourself proud PB, wonderful resto..Corgi Bob, what's happened to him?
Thank you very much. I believe Bob’s missus is not well and he’s had to devote his time there of course. I hope he comes back, he’s the Corgi master.
Holy moly, you are great at your job. I’m just starting out. What kind of materials am I gonna need? What kind of tools am I gonna need paint where do I find the paint? Where do I find all the equipment that would be great to know this is amazing. You have a great talent.
Thank you very much. Gosh, you don't need a lot to get started, I would start with trying repainting a car that is in good shape to start with and work up to some of the really wrecked stuff. I'm trying to think of all the stuff I use, I've been trying to show the things I use in my newer videos. As for paint I use a combination of rattle packs and airbrushing, and I get the paint from my local hobby store. I could put a list together of all the stuff I use, I'm just not sure where to start. I should make a video with a more in-depth explanation of my processes.
Teu trabalho é ótimo.
Parabéns.
Muito obrigado e obrigado por assistir!
@@PBsRetroRestorations de nada.🇧🇷👍
Great job Peter ✋🏼5️⃣👍
Thank you Don!
Nice job. I restore these as well and I am getting ready to do another one and I will do a video of this one. Just subbed your channel.
Thank you, this was my first go at one, I'm not sure I'll do another one but I've ended up with quite a few spares, so maybe. Thank you very much for subscribing, really appreciate it.
very nice! too many parts for me to attempt! should be pretty happy with yourself for that one. my only gripe is im sure you could have squeezed in a few bat jokes in there!
Paul, I edited a whole intro for this video that UA-cam pulled me up for copyright infringement it’s on my Facebook page if you’d like to check it out, it was my joke for this vid, was sad to have to cut it.

Beautiful 😍
Thank you Carlos!
LOVE your channel !!! I was very fortunate to get my Batman mobile at a local yard sale today for .05 cents !! It needs two tires....other than that it's in great shape. Where can I buy tires fir it? Thanks enjoyed the video , true work of art.
Thank you, that’s the bargain of the century. I got the tyres from RecoverToy, they have a webpage, but sell on eBay too: www.ebay.com.au/itm/362426984341?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=jkqHp1vVTJm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Hso4VjAVSlq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@PBsRetroRestorations Thanks so much...I'm going to buy a whole set.
Agree it was a great find I picked up a handful of other vehicles and tow truck , and an assortment of other vehicles.
Excellent job. What size drill bit do you use for the screws?
Thank you very much. I use a 1.5mm drill bit, an M2 tap for the thread and M2x5mm hex head cap screws. I know it doesn't look 'factory' but if I get it wrong (and I often do 😂) I can just unscrew it and try again. My apologies for the delay in getting an answer to you.
castings like these are genious. genious to invent, genious to put together... you genious, my friend. :D I almost expected you to play the tetris score in the background... of course there would be the danger of everything vanishing when you're done.
and yeh, of course it's af-ford-able, it's based on a Ford Founderbird... or something. XD
anyway, looks great, better then new, too. too bad to hear about the ill-fitting aerial and spring, such things are always a nuisance, no matter which scale. (like the door handle for my 94 Opel wagon which was so badly made it couldn't be installed... it was cheap, but still.)
I know it’s a limited market, but if ya gonna charge $5 for a teeny plastic aerial, at least make it good lol.
@@PBsRetroRestorations Right? It's not like the buyers have alternatives, but if your quality doesn't fit the 5$, there soon will be one...
Sorry P..B I have to disagree the 89 Batmobile is the one and only 😉
But I have to say you have worked your magic again love it 👌🏻
That’s ok Ben! Everyone has their favourite. It may have been *slightly* extreme of me to say everyone else is wrong 😂 thank you!
I did start watching the video 3 times Peter ,today I've finished it .
I have to say it's a very difficult model to work on but you've nailed it Bat- Peter dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum la laaaaa🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Laz, I know it's a hard time watching my videos, but good on you for sticking it out lol.
Wonderful..where did you get the Robin figurine? I've got a AWOL Robin problem but a present Batman, as you enumerate.
Thank you Susan. I got him from RecoverToy on Ebay: www.ebay.com.au/itm/154721645027
I'm not sponsored by them, but Tony is a reliable seller I buy from often. Thank you for watching.
I could be wrong but I thought the bits you painted gold barring from the wheels were silver on the early version
You’re most likely right Dave, I was sure I could see remnants of gold on the parts, but I might have imagined it. I definitely think the wheel for the rockets should have been silver though. Thanks for watching and your message.
@@PBsRetroRestorations no worries kid. Enjoy the videos 😎👍
im wondering do you do restorations of other peoples batmobiles as i would love a custom with whizz wheels on the original batmobile
Hi Tony, I'm always happy to help however usually when I tell folk I'm in Australia, the thought of the postage here and back puts them off 🤣 But if you'd still care to discuss, send me an email at pbsretrorestorations@gmail.com 😊
Awesome work, was wondering where did you buy the ribits for the bottom of the car?
Thank you very much! I don't use rivets, I use M2x0.4 Metric cap head screws that I tap the post for. That way I can pull them apart if I need to, or when they end up in a box after I'm gone the next restorer can have an easier go at it lol. I should use rivets for authenticity, but I like using the cap screws. Thank you for watching!
@@PBsRetroRestorations thank you so much for your response keep up the great work.
Also was wondering what color do you use to paint the corgi batman and Robin figure's? And the bats on the batmobile wheels? Apologies for so many questions.
@@sergioceja8968 not at all happy to be able to help. I specifically used Mr. Hobby Mr. Colour #171 Fluorescent Red for the hubs, I think Tamiya make a similar colour but that’s what I used. I am not the best figure painter, so I cheated there and bought them pre-painted from RecoverToy here in Australia: www.ebay.com.au/itm/154721645027?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=jkqHp1vVTJm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Hso4VjAVSlq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@PBsRetroRestorations 🤣
Hi can you pls tell me what screws you used to put it back together? I’d rather what you used than the rivets.
Hi Nathan, I use M2 x 5mm Hex Socket Button Screws after tapping the posts with a Metric M2 x 0.4 tap. Another advantage over supergluing rivets in is that the cap screws can be easily removed if you ever feel like doing it again one day. I did a ‘how to’ in one of my vids, but I cannot for the life of me remember which one. If I work it out, I’ll let you know 😔 thanks for watching!
Nice!
Thank you!
Good morning again I thank u and corgi Bob for being my teachers, I'd like to send u some pictures but I don't know how? Question I found a 1966 267 corgi batmobile it needs cleaning if I were to open it to paint the parts will it loose its value?
Hi Sergio! Sorry for the late reply, I had a look at your videos and there's NO WAY I'd pull that apart, it looks too nice, too complete and too original. There are ways to clean it, but I'm not the expert at that. I'm in a group called the Diecast and Modellers Community on Facebook, there's a couple of guys on there that are absolute 267 Batmobile experts that could give better advice than me on how to clean one without pulling it apart. If you ever want to send me pics, you can email me at pbsretrorestorations@gmail.com 😊
@@PBsRetroRestorations hey captain 😃 happy new year been trying to email you with some pictures but its hasn't gone through, I'll keep trying.
someone had a foam block that was cut out and held the car while assembling,,, looked like a good idea
Hi Ken! Yes, Corgi Bob has a foam stand for his and if I did as many as he does I would definitely do the same. It's a terrific idea, Bob is a legend and I couldn't have finished mine without his video.
I take a stanley knife and prize the edge of the shaft pole ,its not a rivet ,then gentley prise apart no drilling ,when finished superglue back together with the car looking origanal
Thank you for the tip David. I really should get into using rivets like Martin Dare and Corgi Bob do, I just know if I superglue them together, I'll remember something I forgot to put in and it'll be too late 😂
What is this corgi worth? I have one from my childhood that is in good shape. No box though. Thank you.
Hi James, there are so many variants it's hard to say. Your best way to see what is actually being paid is to go on ebay and set your search to 'sold listings' and 'worldwide'. Of course original unrestored will always bring more than a restored one. Hope that helps.
@@PBsRetroRestorations Thank you for the advice!
I wanted it but my dad and the chemist ( they sold toys as well) said no because of the blade in the front.
If I remember correctly it was bigger than this.
Yeah, I always wanted one too as a kid. I don't think Corgi made a bigger one, but the Whizwheel version looks bigger with those wheels on it, and I have seen some bootleg copies that could be bigger, I'm not sure. Thank you for watching.
@@PBsRetroRestorations Yes, maybe to kids a lot of things seem to look bigger.
Keep up the great work!
i did one of these some time ago, only took me a week! great result though (-;
Thank you Steve! I was lucky to have a spare part car from Neil and Corgi Bob's how-to video, it's a toughy but I reckon the Bond Aston is a >touch< fiddlier.
My favorite car 1966 Batmobile
Hi Jose. definitely my favourite Batmobile. Thank you for watching.
As soon as I heard you say crack a lackin, I knew you were an Aussie. Lol. Whereabouts in Australia are you from? I'm from Townsville.
Yeah, I said it once in a video and it’s stuck now lol. I’m in Brisbane.
I had this car & boat…I thought it was bigger, maybe I was just smaller.
@@11x I reckon the later whizwheel version looks bigger because of the larger wheels and how it sits higher, despite being exactly the same casting otherwise, maybe that’s it? Thank you for watching and sorry about the repetitive music 🙂
Do you do work for other people?
Hi Dianna, I have done, but the postage to and from Australia usually puts folks off. If you’d still like to discuss, zap me an email at pbsretrorestorations@gmail.com thank you!
Can't find Shane H can you leave a link. Thanks 😊
