I like how Rob says *aaaaTEMPting* like there is a huge amount of uncertainty and we don't all know that car is going to be an absolute stunner when he's done with it! Great job, as always! I like the "restoration plus" method, I think it does add a nice little touch.
It's gorgeous and thanks but I'd love to see it roll and have it's performance measured. The new stuff rolls like magic and oldies too if axles are straight. That's a big part of the fun with these. They roll so well. Thanks again, Paul in Thailand
I have watched few restoration which you did before and I think that you are always bringing back the elegance of the old cars we used to play with as kids... Keep up the good work.
Is that the car from _Hardcastle & McCormick_ ? I thought so too, but I couldn't remember the name of it (and if I searched it I'd just end up going down the wiki hole and waste the rest of the afternoon reminiscing about '80s cop shows :).
Smashing job Rob. I believe this was a car I had and painted it black, with a small Testor's paint brush. What the hell I was 10. Never did that again.😑👍🏻👍🏻
Exceptional job, Rob. I must say, I do prefer your restoration videos rather than the custom ones, although, both make for highly captivating viewing. Many thanks for your good work...
That was one mean looking car, that orange color looks fast just standing still. I am glad you redid the hubs flat black was definitely not cutting it. Thanks for sharing this video with me and please keep them coming up.
Nice, have also one of these not In good condition. Those detailed lights make this model look much better, funny how small details change a lot of cars look.
Awesome! I thought I'd share a tip I'd heard on another car channel (I forget which) to stop the the wires on the brush wheel from coming off: all you do is run some superglue around the round base of the brush to set them in. I've not had a chance to try it but it can't hurt to give it a go. :)
I believe that there could be a detail of black lines on the rear louvers and air inlet. Otherwise, you do absolutely great/beautiful work. I love watching the restorations! Thanks for posting your work.
Regarding the wire wheels I heard somewhere that if you bung some superglue around the rim it helps prevent quite so much flying off in every direction, Would have been cool to have seen it painted in green like the real car I'm not a big fan of the orange.
Your paint should be 50/50 with thinner. Consistency like milk. More thin coats rather than a few thick ones. It will provide a much smother finish and spray a lot better. This advice is good. Take it. You will not regret it.
Stunner Rob. Smash that like button folks, I want this one.. my era. ;-)
Love it when you find these more obscure castings and make them look so good!
The added detail work you put into every one of your projects really makes them look sharp.

Great job, as always! I like the "restoration plus" method, I think it does add a nice little touch.
I googled that car...Surprised to find out it was built in the 60's! VERY futuristic design for that era! Nice job!

Great restoration. My grandson would love this for their little collection they have on show.
Reminds me a bit of a Coyote X.
As always, fantastic result! Thanks for the video!!

@@ZGryphon Yes, it sure is! Loved that show as a kid.

A kind of Mad Max vehicle at the beginning, a very nice car at the end, and of course it deserved a resto. 👍
You did this quirky casting justice. It went from bizarre to beautiful.
I'm really impressed by the special detailing you do on each vehicle.
Beautiful work !
Those 70's chapes are really great
Brilliant result Rob, orange actually suits the styling of the car! Looking forward to the next one.
Couldnt help laughing when you said 'metal based car' when the original was fiberglass and plywood. Nicely finished model looks really good
That was probably the most beautiful Marcos ever to be made, it's a shame it never raced or went into a limited production run. Nice restoration Rob.
I just recently discovered your channel. It's very soothing and amazing to see those wee models come back to new found glory.
Hay man at least a Marcos. 👏👏👏👏.very good love the look greet job keep them coming 😉
Nice Job Rob. Grüße aus Deutschland. 👍
Really neat. I like the odd and different cars.
Looks like a cross between a Countach and a McLaren F1 that’s been converted to off-road! Nice work Rob, as always 😉👍
Another fantastic job as always Rob 👍
I remember a neighbour of my uncle had a beautiful dark red marcos on his drive,
Funky.
Absolutely beautiful!!! Great job, Rob!!! Your detail work is awesome!
wow. i had a no brand plastic one when i was a kid. in fact i still have it. but never knew it was a real car. it looks awesome
Friggin awesome! Rare car and awesome custom restoration! I actually did have this model when I was a child. Fastest in its class!
Wow that’s really awesome Rob it’s great to see a Corgi restoration and those little details make it stand out
Nice car Rob. A little trick on your wire brushes is to apply super glue around the wire where they attach. It really works, most of the time.
Exceptional job, Rob. I must say, I do prefer your restoration videos rather than the custom ones, although, both make for highly captivating viewing. Many thanks for your good work...

Wow, that really turned out to be a beautiful model! Great work, Rob
Good job!! The car is a Marcos Mantis XP. Search on Google and you can add more details. Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina.
The new color is way better! This turned out great. 😎
Very clean resto+. Lovely paint. Sweet ride.
I love this! Really takes me back to my childhood favorites.
Love the 🍊 color!!!
Nice, have also one of these not In good condition.
Those detailed lights make this model look much better, funny how small details change a lot of cars look.
Very nice futuristic looking car. Fine restoration.
Lovely Rob, turned out very nice. Thank you

Never seen one of these before. Loving the variety. Good show as always.
amazing looking car, never knew it was a real thing, looks totally made up for a game.
the weird ones are cool at times. the minor detail etc lights made it better
Very nice restoration, Rob.
Cool beans!
Thanks Rob
This one cleaned up real nice!
Love the colour had an old escort in the same orange well done
Nice Corgi restoration Rob, well done!....Bill
Another awesome model Rob,I like the originality of this,it looks smart.
Excellent restoration Rob!
Looks like a car that would be in a GTA game, came out incredible!
Got one of those! Similar state to your "before" 🤣 although the orange that's on it has more red tone in. Great transformation! ❤️
Beautiful car - you did a grand job
Shabby to shiny indeed. Very slick
Turned out beautiful Rob.
That came up a real treat! Well done!
Rob the man, the myth, the legend
What an incredible transformation... er, restoration-plus! 😉
Looking good. Luv that colour
I have never seen one of those before. Great work.
Liked! Really! Corgi WHIZZWHEELS are my favorite.
Another good one. I’ve never seen that casting before.
Stunning and the rear lights do it justice along with the other little touches A WAIT NEXT VIDEO ......
Amazing Restoration Rob !!!!
Quality job fella!
Wow what a great resto color is perfect job well done cheers
Nice work, I love that orange
Really appreciate your page, it gives me a lot of ideas and inspiration
Love the orange!!!
I've got one of these somewhere, Had it since I was 4 (1975). Same colour.
Wow that's definitely a nice design nice work
That is a really cool casting 👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome restoration
Your customs are unique and great thank
That car is Awesome 👍
Fabulous job as always Rob
It's been reborn!
Beaut!
Cheers
Nice job again Rob.
Looks good one hell of a change
Excellent restoration rob , made the right choice to restore rather then custom.
I saw someone put superglue around the base of the wire wheels and let it dry to stop them from flying around you might try that. Great work.
Ice restoration Rob , l'm sure l had one of these as a kid, or atleast one of my mates did. Looks really futuristic for its time 😉👍
Looking great.
From shabby to nice!!!
That turned out beautiful. It is an odd looking machine.
Looks really good, digging it
Nice job Rob!
I believe that there could be a detail of black lines on the rear louvers and air inlet. Otherwise, you do absolutely great/beautiful work. I love watching the restorations! Thanks for posting your work.
Awesome restoration plus! It is a beautiful car! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic work
Very sharp.
You did an awesome job as usual.
Corgi must be a British car co. I've never seen them. Nice to what other kids grew up with
I'm not too big on orange, even though it's one of my college colors, but this is a beaut. Nice work Rob.
Great work as always Rob!! Love your work!
Absolute beauty!
Turned out nice 👍👍😊
Regarding the wire wheels I heard somewhere that if you bung some superglue around the rim it helps prevent quite so much flying off in every direction, Would have been cool to have seen it painted in green like the real car I'm not a big fan of the orange.
Nice job. Looks tip top.
Your paint should be 50/50 with thinner. Consistency like milk. More thin coats rather than a few thick ones.
It will provide a much smother finish and spray a lot better.
This advice is good. Take it.
You will not regret it.
