Corgi Hillman Hunter No 302 London - Sydney. Renovation after a collision with a kangaroo.

[@dr.jiIIaIicecooper2587]

Beautiful model and excellent restoration👍 Love the opening toolbox, box with Acacia tree in background and of course the marsupial guard🦘 Interesting that kangaroo is spelled kangeroo on the box. Have a great weekend

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@ianhamilton3172]

As usual, a fabulous restoration - maybe best one ever, considering the damage of the unrestored car. Loved the box as well. Only glitch (speaking as an Australian) was the misspelling of ‘kangaroo’. Interesting fact about the marathon: Hillman should never have won. Lucien Bianchi in a DS Citroen was hundreds of miles in front, going through the NSW south coast town of Nowra, just 100 miles short of the finish in Sydney. A Morris Mini went through a stop sign and rammed the Citroen, killing the co-driver & critically injuring Bianchi. The Hillman Hunter at the time was still in Victoria. It was a tragic end to the Marathon & took the gloss away from the winners.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much for your very interesting comment

[@kjamison5951]

The purists will claim that it isn’t worth as much as an original mint-in-box but you have created a work of art that commands a high price for the level of care taken in the restoration. Outstanding! Thank you.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

Ojej... Hillman naprawdę wyglądał, jakby zderzył się z dorosłym kangurem.... 😁 Świetna robota, Paul. Wszystkie te przerobione części i wspaniałe "oryginalne opakowanie"... po prostu świetne 🤩 Niniejszym po raz kolejny oficjalnie oświadczam, że jestem zazdrosny (o twój kunszt 😉👍🏼) Jestem podekscytowany, wyraźnie oba kciuki w górę za to 👍🏼👍🏼 (W każdym razie dla mnie Hillman jest bardzo szczególnym modelem, ponieważ jestem wielkim fanem Australii. 😁) Dzięki za udostępnienie 🙏🏼 Miłego weekendu dla Ciebie i Twojej rodziny, bądźcie cali i zdrowi. Tak trzymaj przyjacielu 😃 Pozdrowienia z latarni morskiej na końcu Łaby. 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 Oh dear... The Hillman really looked like it had collided with a full-grown red roo (kangaroo.... 😁) Excellent work, Paul. All the remade parts and the fabulous "original packaging"... just Great 🤩 I hereby once again officially declare to be envious (of your craftsmanship 😉👍🏼) I'm thrilled, clearly both thumbs up for this 👍🏼👍🏼 (For me anyway, the Hillman is a very special model as I'm a big Australia fan. 😁) Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼 Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate 😃 Greetings from the lighthouse end of the Elbe river. 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 Du liebe Zeit... Der Hillman sah wirklich aus, als wäre er mit einem ausgewachsenen Känguru zusammengestoßen... 😁 Exzellente Arbeit, Paul. All die neugefertigten Teile und die sagenhafte "Originalverpackung"... einfach Großartig 🤩 Hiermit erkläre ich wiedermal offiziell neidisch zu sein (auf deine handwerklichen Fähigkeiten 😉👍🏼) Ich bin begeistert, ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼👍🏼 (Für mich ist der Hillman sowieso ein ganz besonderes Modell, da ich ein großer Australien fan bin. 😁) Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼 Dir und Deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter. Mach weiter so, mein Freund 😃 Gruß vom Leuchtturmende der Elbe. 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠

[@williamharris8367]

The final result looks just amazing! I really appreciate the effort that went into making the various replacement parts. The old Chrysler logo reminds me of my (now long deceased) Grandfather. He used to drive a 1970 New Yorker.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much. Cool

Nice restoration, details and paint job 👌 👍

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Joe

[@brianartillery]

My brother has one of these - I can see it from where I'm sitting - and the only non standard thing about it (my brother got it from a car boot sale) is that someone has very carefully painted the 'Roo Bar' white, which is the colour it should be. Those 'Golden Jacks' that Corgi produced for a couple of years in the late 1960's were an odd gimmick - they mostly ensured that kids would end up with a toy car with fewer than four wheels, which, I suspect, is why they always seemed to come with a spare. 😆😆😆 Gorgeous restoration of one of Corgi's best ever models. Nice one.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much
