Really a superb job on this camper van. Like the upgraded seat. Can't wait to keep watching your videos.
I think this van looks great. The silver on the bumpers looks more in keeping with the original, rather than the Molotov chrome pen that some use. Nice, well done.
Very nice job it brings back my youth
Incredible Restoration
Hi, your camper- van looks fantastic ! And what I always love is the lovely background when you present the finished model !
Great performance!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Greetings and best wishes, stay healthy!
A beautiful restoration. I wonder, does anyone else see the sad little face in this lovely camper? So sweet!
Very nice restore, love the paint job.... 👍
Very Beautiful resto,corgi got some nice models !
I had one!! the seat was just a bit of foam , but your upgrade is much better .Good restoration !!
That’s fantastic. Great job Danny
At 74, I currently live in a 38' motorhome (caravan) where I construct dynamic dioramas (each powered by Tesla battery cells) and work at a solar electric company. I like your videos - your work.
Thank you for sharing...
Very different casting . I like it a lot . Nice work as always . Mike Espo.............
Fantastic work,well done.
What a beautiful campervan
Really like what you have done here
Nice job! I absolutely love this!
Great restoration! You do nice work.
Paint job on point there bro, crisp lines! Rad
Awesome restoration, looking all like brand new and in original colours, love it! Your fake rivets look like the real thing too, great idea, nice one Danny👌👍😊
All the best, Nick.
That has to be one of the coolest car ever I'm now going on eBay to get one
Cool Restoration!
You did an awesome job!
Excellent work
Great job Danny! Love it!
Looks good! And cool casting
Beautiful
I've never had toy van's growing up but they look cool.
From distant memory as I had one when I was a kid, the seat cushion was just a piece of yellow sponge and was stuck to the base. The camper was also available in a purple finish as well as green. Great job you did !
Spot on - I still have my model (bought in 1964) and it does indeed have a piece of yellow sponge!
Hello Danny l. Have one to restore thanks for the tutorial great restoration looks fantastic
You wowed me again! 👍😁
truly fascinating
Love that olive green, a superb job mate. Truly.
That was a very rough looking model but it looks great now. Thanks for sharing this.
I have no hesitation in saying this is one of your finest restorations yet. Would definitely love a full-size version of this! And those transparencies came out a real treat.
Nicely done!
wow nice work !! congratulations !!
Awesome!!!!!!!!! You rock!!!
Lovely job as always Danny :)
Nice one Bruce!
Cute little Camper Van. Very nice restoration and a fine result. Looks beautiful.
Very nice 👍🏻 awesome work as always 🔥👍🏻
I have seen a Thames van here in the States, at an auction. Honestly this one started in much better condition than the real thing. I like those cool, odd cars because its not the everyday thing, I had to take some pictures. This is a beautiful restoration.
Nice Job. Just about to start restoring a white and blue one. 👌👌
Beautiful restoration! Looks like it came right out of the box. Quality workmanship always pays off in the end.😍
Very very nice
Vantastic!
Excellent restore. Lovely greens & awesome interior. We had a green VW pop top camper when i was a kid. Funnest ride ever.
brilliant as usual!...
Very cool casting.nice job as usual. ;)
Wow that’s was a BRILLIANT job!!!
Awesome project.
This is what I will be doing when I retire.
I really love these little corgi’s. The scale the detail everything about them. I’ve said before that they’re so underrated and somewhat over looked by a lot of restorers. It’s great to see some being revived on CZcams. Cheers Danny, for the great content. All the best Rob 🇬🇧
Nice job.
This camper is a beauty 🔥🔥🔥
Très beau travail 👏 !
Nice one Danny, looks good .
simply awesome
Beauty! ❤
Had this as a kid in this colour too, and it was a foam/sponge seat on the left that rotted with age so very few seats survive. Great resto fella and it comes in two other colours too so a collection to be made.
Cracking job Danny, I'm digging these larger scale corgi restorations, top stuff👍
Well done very very very good I can't tell you how much I appreciate it
Hello Danny, the restoration looks better than when the model was new. Only one thing, the only thing missing was a thin sliver of foam rubber that perishes overtime, but the seat you created looks so much better, I don't know why they used foam unless it was meant to be a cushion.
Right, yes I was thinking it may have been a real cushion of some sort.
Really nice restore job... you wouldn't know it was the same toy if you hadn't shown it first... incredible..
I really like how the van turned out.
Sweet as!
Awsome love that you keept the same colors of the original really like that model congrats Danny, in general i always like your work but today i really enjoy this restoration. Love this van.
Gee, what a nice model! Love it!
You did a B'y Ripper Job!
Cheers
Beautiful casting, fantastic restoration. I enjoyed this video very much.
Very good job Danny, its a 420 that looks smoking !!!
A+++++!!!
That is a really neat casting, and a top notch restoration! Plus its number 420,and green, which makes it even cooler!🥴👍
really nice!
Very smart looking Thames Camper Van . Great restoration Danny 👍
Great job on this restoration, and a rather well-produced video that is enjoyable to watch.
Fantastic work as usual. What a great casting, great detail.
I really love this model and you did a great job restoring it!
This is a fantastic restoration for sure. Love the blinds and the two tone paint
Spot on, another awesome restoration. I enjoy your work. Continue please to put your brilliant talent on display! Good day to you!
Beautiful work, I always enjoy watching your work.
This looks so good restored. Love the colours and the process you use.
Fantastic restoration, love that casting.
Yes a real cool toy. Good job bringing it back.
Beautiful restoration! Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Looks great Danny! Made me laugh when you were cleaning the wheels, because I misheard it as "a damn cotton bud" instead of "a damp cotton bud"! 😄😄
EXELENT.. Great restoration amazing video
Nice, neat job Danny, looks great. That looks like a particularly good casting; some of these Corgis were excellent models. It always amazes me how well these 50/60 year old toys stood-up to decades of play. Imagine if the manufacturers HAD used primer; many of these cars would still be perfect underneath the chipped paint.
Keep up the good work, I do enjoy these restorations.
All the Best,
Dougie.

wow! superior work. very well done.
Nice Danny! I love how Corgi did the blinds. Great detail!
Wow, you did a great job!
Top job Danny! Nice colour match on this one, it definitely looks a lot nicer than what you started with.
I don't know what it is with restoration videos like these but they were fun to watch. Must have been a nostalgia thing with these old toys. By the way, new subscriber here. Keep up the awesome work in your future resto/mods.
Nice job Danny very clean crisp beautiful as always keep up the good work 😺👍🏿
Holy cow,so many fiddly bits to work with. Looked more like diecast surgery. LOL. Brilliant restoration.
This model came in multiple different lower body colors besides green. Collecting every color of them would be fun.
kool , thanx...never seen this car/van before....neat one , Happy Friday
Robert
