Great resto Jason, and I for one would love to see an authentic resto to the concept colours! This was one of my favourites in the early 70's 🙂 Super Job Jason
Excellent colour match ! I have painted one of these in Tamiya metallic green (ts 20) and it looks pretty good, will post pics online when I get it finished!
Nice job. I definitely think a full custom or tribute to the real thing would look great, I'll have to dig my Matchbox and Corgi versions out for comparison now
A beautiful restoration is always there Jason me myself I would have painted the green that it was when it first came out not the ugly pink that Lesney put on it keep up the good work have a good one and God bless my friend
Nice work. A resto mod could be fantastic. A set of more authentic lower profile wheels and tires would really set this off and give a more scale appearance. Matchbox were funny, they made a lot of low production supercars and concept cars that no one in the 70s or 80s had really seen. Sone like this one are really hard to find on the internet! Their appearance were often let down by the stock wheels.
Man that’s a nice restoration! I love those Siku’s from this 70s and 80s era with metal base and stamped details in the body and base (engine specs etc). This era is definitely the best imo - maybe because I was a kid in the 80s. Later Siku’s lacked quality and are still lacking that same quality feel like in the 70s and 80s (this also applies to Majorette. They also were far better in the 70s and 80s). Although construction and farming models from Siku appear to be far more better in quality than the rest of Siku cars
I have a Corgi version of the Alfa Carabo, and been repainting it a few months ago but paused due to life stuff. Thinking to make it be a bit more than just stock
looks great again, nice work on the paint. :) too bad you had to slaughter another casting for it... but since there are so many of this casting around a restomod wouldn't hurt anybody, I guess.
Why? Just restoring something in such ugly colour when having the chance of having a much more interesting video doing a restomod with mire realistic colours?!
@@DieCastRestos ita not a ugly comment but a critic and a constructiv one…if you are nit ready to accept from your viewers maybe you should reethink about having a youtube channel….
You misunderstand - you said that the colour was ugly but I disagree, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. More than happy to take constructive criticism but I did ask in the video if people would like to see a green coloured restomod. Thanks for commenting though 👍🏻
@@DieCastRestos ok i might havent explained my opinion properly. Its not that the colour is ugly but i think its more pleasent to opt for a more realistic job. But again its not that you habe done a bad job ,you didnt. Its just that im MY opinion i just like to see the models with a real world look ( normal colors,the small dettails done like lights ,door handles etc) Sorry if i offended you in any way it wasnt that my intention.
A restomod would look great I'm sure. Nice work on the standard restoration.
As a kid, I loved this car. Very nice work.

Would love to see you do one in the proper colours especially since I’ve got one to do myself.
For a car named after a green beetle the diecast toymakers certainly liked to release this car in pink!

Un gran video! 👋👋👋🇪🇦
Party time 🏁 All the time
PERFECT WORK DUDE I MAKE ALLREADY GREEN SUPER GT ALFA WITH 8 POINT MATCHBOX WHEELS 😁
👍 Thx 🇧🇪.
A stunning car in a typical lairy colour scheme of a1970s Matchbox.
The Matchbox model is certainly nicer than the Corgi version thanks to its wheels.
Nice sad that you didn’t replicate the real prototypes livery hope you can do that in the near future
looks great again, nice work on the paint. :) too bad you had to slaughter another casting for it...

Turned out excellent! Also, Jason, where do you get the cone-shaped brass rotary brushes from? I can’t find them anywhere.
Thank you. They were an eBay lot from some time back. Sorry I can’t be more specific!
Please do the green
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯

Each to their own with the ugly comment, but it is a restoration after all
