Dinky Triumph 2000 Restoration

[@diecastdungeon8970]

Danny, GREAT job on the Triumph 2000. Your restoration is flawless as always. Thank you for sharing your excellent work eith us. 5☆'s !!

[@RAS15714]

My Dad bought one of these new in 1968. It was pale blue with blue cloth trim. Even though I was only 6 I remember giving him a hard time as I wanted him to buy the estate version because the one in the showroom was white with a red leather interior and I thought that was cooler. For some reason I can still remember the registration number to this day

[@robgw]

My dad had the red ‘leather’ but sadly most of it was vinyl ! Leyland saving money!

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

Love the casting, and your work! Cheers

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Wow a great restoration of a superb triumph.. great video mate

[@chillwill8964]

I believe this looks better than when it first came from the manufacture. This is your best work by far. Absolutely amazing! You know you spoil us with great craftsmanship.

[@azrifadli7900]

That Triumph is so beautiful

[@pnuhn1]

Beautiful piece. I love the older Dinkys and Corgis.. the way toys should be. Nice and heavy.

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Another stunner Danny. I remember when these Triumphs were actually on the roads in quite large numbers - they made a hell of a lot of them in brown.

[@westonward735]

Really great looking restoration Danny. I really enjoy watching the larger Corgi and Dinky cars being restored.

[@happinessstan1]

Love it. That paint colour really does it justice and the glass came up really good considering the mess it was in.

[@revzillo]

Awesome job Danny , looks great in that two tone color , blue with a white 👍

[@DEmma1972]

Very nice restoration

[@hestheMaster]

Nice looking restoration.😍 The windscreen had a short tab protruding from it that held the boot hinge piece in place.😄 This car also came with three pieces of coloured luggage with can be made by shaping lilliputty into rectangular shapes.👍🏻👍🏻

[@pepperthekobold]

Great job, as always. One feature this car has, that might explain the bent axles, is that when you tilt the car the front axle moves backwards on the 'pressed' side. You can see how on the base. The result is the car steering like a skateboard.

[@k.n.o.3558]

Looks great with the Vallejo blue paint and the replacement trunk. 😎

[@davidbeeson1178]

Turned out really cool my friend, beforehand it definitely got some usage. The base of it was detailed very well, that is also when they put everything they had into their product. You gave it a new life though my friend. Thanks for sharing.

[@jtrogue]

Excellent work. Most impressive.

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Great looking restoration Danny

[@stevenwalden2684]

Really nice resto. Colour choice was spot on for this car. 👍🏼

[@opasdiecastrestorations8611]

Nicely done Danny! Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@Adriansmith805]

Amazing restoration Danny well done.

Danny!!! Well Done Mate!!! Excellent!!

England calling 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Hey Danny, I love your work and particularly liked the idea of using a burring tool instead of a centre punch to start taking the 'rivet' off. It's far less likely to go wrong. Great idea. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@morphman32]

Very smart looking.

[@thedevilsrighthandman5180]

Getting through all your videos slowly 👍👍 all great so far given me ideas and confidence to do some myself

[@denniswood2576]

Danny you never cease to amaze me....WOW

[@pedrodelacabra1855]

Very nice. Stylish car. Lovely paint and glad you could keep the old wheels. The boot lid looks a bit dodgy, but a definite improvement. Nice engine detail. Sweet ride.

[@hulonsmith2419]

Great Job!!! Love the detail!

[@bhutny]

I highly recommend brake fluid to safely remove paint of the plastic parts and transparent parts. Leaves no scuff marks.

[@chrissmith1387]

Lovely job, Danny

[@TONYSDIECASTRESTOS]

Nice job Danny, a change from the post apocalyptic cars, I love the variety of cars you do.

[@misterscaz6011]

Nice restoration on a tough project Danny! Interesting casting. Never saw it before. Dinky made nice models. I have the German Kubelwagon towing an Anti-tank gun. It's still in nice shape for 40+ years old.

[@iriefixdiecasts6338]

Great job. Love the colour

[@tomflyinghat9122]

Nice one Danny and the chosen colour looks well on the model. I am about to do an identical model myself so when I have it in bits I will photograph the window unit and send it to you. I will try the more common turquoise body with white roof. If it comes out half as well as yours I will be happy.

[@tomflyinghat9122]

Hi Danny I have removed the window unit from my Triumph 2000 and removed a load of paint off it. I am ready to photograph it for you but because I am basically stupid I cannot locate your email address! Help Tom

[@SamM-ek1ph]

Great job! Looks as if it just rolled of the production line!

[@DrFoo11]

Looks nice👌 As a kid growing up I always referred to 1/64's as dinky cars, and never really knew or thought about why. Now I know!

[@michaelmccue72]

Looks great Danny!

[@udorechner6846]

Very good work, the restored car looks beautiful.

Another great restoration Danny, I love the bit where you say its in good condition for a car that old..... cheers mate i was born in 64 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Have you ever tried buffing yourself up with a wire wheel?

[@ScaleStreetGarage]

@@DannysDiecastDisasters ive pulled a few wire pins out after buffing the cars but cant say i have ever tried buffing myself with one mate 😂🤣

Great work!

[@gadgettvcars9555]

Great job as always 👌

[@2H80vids]

Lovely job Danny. Can't agree with you about the boot lid though - that's a terrible fit.

[@Rick_Todd]

He said that there is something missing from the windscreen that hold's the boot lid in properly.

[@2H80vids]

@@Rick_Todd Yep, I heard that but look at the bottom corners. The corners look to be at 45°, rather than squared off, leaving big gaps. No big deal and probably not that noticeable on the finished car, just looked a bit odd to me.

[@Rick_Todd]

@@2H80vids Ok , I'll take another look. Yes I see the big gap now on the drivers side.

[@arronjones6985]

Completely agree. The boot fit is awful but that's not Danny's fault tho. It's down to inferior parts quality. Fair play on the rest of the restoration tho Danny 👍

[@Rick_Todd]

@@arronjones6985 yes a note to the Replica Parts people , A couple of mm more on each side guys , OK

[@silvermane9370]

I can’t recall them ever being this bright a blue although your resto is a lovely job. In its day it was a handsome car with the designer (Michelotti) going on to give us the Triumph Stag.

[@tarestorations]

Wonderful restoration !Dinkys are cool !

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

That car was really a test , junkyard to new car dealer . Great work , nice paint . Mike Espo..

[@malcolmmacdonald3992]

Great job nice masking work!

[@martindaredare]

Nice to see you do another larger scale model Danny, that's the scale I work on . Great job looks excellent.

[@RJDCR]

[@easyontheeyes78]

That’s a sharp looking car

Very good work

[@Mad9977]

looks awesome 😎👍

[@ricardot729]

Nice resto, your uploads are on point too! Thx for sharinv

[@pauljackson8354]

There was also the Triumph 2500 which was made in the UK until 1977.There was also an estate version of the car.

[@pauljackson8354]

The 2500S was top of the range and is a sought after classic like the Stag.

[@pauljackson8354]

DID THEY SELL THE MG METRO,MAESTRO OR MONTEGO IN AUSTRALIA?

[@robgw]

My dad had a burgundy one late 70’s. i remember how hot the red vinyl seats got in summer! (UK)

[@nathancook1404]

Good job! It looks good as new!

[@Tiger351]

Top job Danny, looks great in blue and white! Corgi didn't waste any time getting these out, the real cars were only release in early 63. I'm not sure if the name was changed after release, but they're now known as the Mark I 2000 TC (twin carburettor 2L), I owned 2 real later Mk II's 20+ years ago, a 75 2500 TC and a 77 2500 S (both 2.5L straight 6's with twin carburettors). Triumph also equipped some of the cars with a slightly de-tuned version of the 2.5/2500 mechanical fuel injected engine found in the TR5 PI and TR6, those cars were known as the 2.5 PI (Mark I version) or 2500 PI (Mark II version).

[@briansdiecastthailandstoth6747]

Looks cool Danny

[@renatakoningova]

for the windscreen you should try dumping it in some self shining floor polish..... just dunk it in, let it dry on some papertowel, and will be like new

[@film49uk]

W e all know how reproduction parts can differ in quality but they do get a model back which could be scrapped all together....you just have to do the best you can ....The model Triumph 2000 is back and looks good indeed .........keep at it Danny .........

[@stillkicken2007]

Great car 👍

[@ScouseAndy71]

Great video! 😃👍

[@stanojevicnatasa2514]

First thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail picture is "did Dinky really make a Hongqi CA 770 limousine?"

[@TheQuirkyGarage1999]

I already tell that , but I love these dinky&corgi , and king matchbox 👍👍.

[@bentandre5524]

i had a brochure of that car and the model showed was what they called english white, when i saw your diecast disaster i immediately thought of that colour. well, you kept your dinky more Original which i understand and you did a good job

[@robertbrugh8426]

Gidday mate. Just thought I would share a tip with reguards to that rusty suspension plate. Boil in distilled water for about 15 minutes then soft wire brush it should come up in a gun metal blue finish. then a little bit of WD40 on a rag to preserve it. Came up nice though. Kia Ora mate.

[@SuperBadVideos]

That’s a home run restoration 🔥🤘🏻

[@Robs-me6mb]

My dad had two mark 2’s over the years when I was a kid. I remember the registration on one was KNR 999P which as my dad was a retired police officer, it was uncanny Kops ‘N’ Robbers 999 Police.

[@bergydermeister5616]

Nice job

[@TheFokker03]

the rare one's you mention,numbered 11 in total.according to my info,they were all promo variations.I guess Triumph were trying to push the model,presumably overseas,so what better way than a model of the real thing.maybe whoever painted it before,was trying to make a Police car.i have the smaller 1200 that Corgi did,painted black with a roof light added.

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

There was a rare black one with a white roof

[@TheFokker03]

@@DannysDiecastDisasters yes,that was amongst the 11.

[@joolsfreeman4359]

Great cars, I had a real 1966 ex police car, twin carbs, 6 cylinder with oil driven overdrive gearbox, it did 30 mpg if you drove it easy as well, good for a 2.0 litre car that size, I wish I still had it now!

[@jakerademacher4258]

You made a nice toy out of a not so detailed model, Dinky quality had it's moments, but this one really needs some extra care and work.👍

[@antonio-tt7js]

Muy bueno!! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

[@johnsalt19]

Well danny all i can say is wow wat a transformation the only thing i can see wrong with the boot is the 2 bottom corners are rounded off shame really never owned one of these but did have a mk1 cortina and i only paid £9.50 for it long time ago lol

Where did you get the dremmel?

Just from a hardware store 👍

[@murattanyel1029]

The paint does not look metallic on my screen. The gap between the driver's door and the rear door is filled with paint partially. It might need a new paint job when you fix the boot.

[@snaggorth3975]

Hi, Danny, can you find a Cadillac hearse ?

I'll keep an eye out. I have a stash of old Corgis and Dinkys I'm slowly getting through.
