MATCHBOX Restoration No 32b E Type Jaguar 1962

[@benzykaram]

This is not a hobby. This is what passion looks like. Thanks for sharing this, Mr Marty.

[@Ahqeter]

I had that car myself. As a guy whose mom bought him Matchbox cars at the druggist's over 50 years ago, I can only say how lovely it was to watch you breathe new life into original components that I did not know a person could salvage. Wonderful. Thank you.

I do not even know how I came here (since I am not really interested in matchbox cars). BUT the video was a joy to watch and you clearly see all the humor and effort put into it. keep it up! GREAT content!

I dont know how I stumbled upon this video but it has been extremely satisfying to watch.

[@lancerevell5979]

At 66, I am still building plastic models. I just did a 1/25 1967 Olds 442, using this same Tamiya Bright Mica Red paint. A very nice color!

[@747maran]

Can't believe I spent 19:00 min watching this, but as matchbox owner like every boy was, couldn't avoid watching it. Put a smile on my face for the day...

[@feralcatbrothers]

As a safety and quality manager I do applaud you for using safety devices most of the time but will gently fuss at you for not wearing gloves more often when using any kind of paint stripper. Great job as usual and more entertaining than the other Matchbox restorers on KZbin. I have plenty of old Matchbox vehicles and you have given me the encouragement to try restoring them. Keep up the good work and greetings from Sugar Land, Texas USA (the sweetest town in the Lone Star state).

[@marleenhoncoop4188]

Thank you for the re-upload. Somehow I got you’re videos recommended and I love them. I don’t have anything with cars for that matter, but the restoration part continues to fascinate me.

[@MrVolvobloke]

Great results from a rattle can ! Lovely little model. Thanks for sharing.

[@WhatIsYourMalfunction]

First of your videos I have seen. I had a matchbox car identical to this as a young boy in the 60's, though my memory is that it was green. I played with that car until it fell apart. I also raced an E type on highway 9 in Massachusetts in 1981 on my Honda motorcycle in the night. I did not see much besides his tail lights. One of my favorite cars ever. Truly iconic. Thank you for bringing so many memories back!

[@pajuiken]

I have no interest in matchbox cars, restorations or Aussies.... yet here I am watching these videos like mad and now subscribing.... WHAT BLACK MAGIC IS THIS MARTY?!!!

Marty, this was excellent! I had this little car as a kid. So great to see it brought back to its former glory! Best styled car in history, the etype. Great vid... Thanks!

Hi Marty, your videos are an absolute joy to watch. Thanks for all you do!

It makes complete sense that Marty's Matchbox Makeovers would prefer 3m tape. Nice Jaguar restoration!

[@Sootaroot]

Well picked up! I wondered why he said "MMM".

[@chevydude658]

This is so AWESOME!!! My older brother used to collect these cars. They were so cool when we were kids because they were actually metal with rubber wheels. They were works of art. I wish I could find him a nice complete collection again. His were destroyed in a house fire.

[@richjones5432]

I was born in 62 & by chance have 2 suit cases full of these loved Corgi & Dinky boys toys & Husky & Triang ….. this might be a nice pension fund top up. Will research this over weekend. Nicely put together film. Great result.

[@malcoexclamation]

I discovered these videos a few weeks ago and I must say, they are excellent. I've never had an interest in restoring Matchbox models but Marty's Matchbox Makeovers have me fascinated in the process. His vocal delivery, editing and the occasional whimsical insert are marvellous. I find watching them surprisingly relaxing. A great experience. Keep it up, Marty. They're neat! As a 60+ year old, I remember when these models came out and must have played with a quite few of them. So much nostalgia.

[@jonwilliams40]

Fantastic vid chap. Who would have thought you could get such a great finish out of aerosol cans. Your the master, keep up the great work. Cheers from the UK. 🇬🇧

[@CarlJones14]

Great job Marty. Shame about the burnt face. Surprised you didn't paint the front headlights & grille. I am sure this will inspire many to have a go.👍

[@Scottie_S]

I tried painting the headlights on this particular car. The ridge lines for the headlights aren't great and I ended up with silver paint all over the place even though I used a micro brush. The original didn't have them, so I just decided to do what Marty did here and spray the lot.

[@TheRealDrJoey]

@@Scottie_S Thanks, 'cause I was also wondering about doing something with the headlights. I still think the bumpers would have looked good. I also think Marty should have foregone the metallic paint. I thought another thin coat of the high gloss would have looked way better. The clear windows was unusual, and came out unreal after polishing. While he was polishing that with the q-tip the thought occurred to me that maybe Marty ought to see if his wife has any manicurist's nail buffing cream. Possibly that and a chamois buffer would work pretty well.

[@Scottie_S]

@@TheRealDrJoey Well, the metallic fleck was in the gloss, so he was going to get that one way or the other. I didn't mind the look of it. Also, considering what Marty appropriates from his wife, your suggestion is spot on!

[@Sid-ix5qr]

I own one of these models..... Had a bronze color originally, but I changed it to a British Racing green color... Thanks to WNT's inspiration.

I'm not sure if you're an undiscovered genius or totally mental (both are offered as an absolute compliment).

Unfortunately I pissed myself whilst watching and need to go have a shower.

Can i give you a tip? quit watching all that shit,i decided to quit doing that 4 months ago,man its like being reborn,no more politics in this home and any worries of any kind, i only watch local news and whats going on in my hometown, i figure if something happens somewhere else there is nothing i can do about it since I'm not in charge,best thing Ive ever done, PERIOD.

[@martinjefferies666]

@@dntlss Unfortunately it is in my country and the worst of it is in my city, London. You have to know what's going on everywhere else to see what's likely to be heading your way, like the Paris riots and, thanks to our government and the people that control them, it's coming fast. I'll be out of this country for good as soon as I can put enough in the bank to pay for a safe exit. Where to go? that's why I need to know what's going on everywhere else, no sense jumping out of the frying pan blind and I'm only going to do this once. However, I take your point and as soon as I land somewhere else I'll be throwing the phone in the bin and pretending it never happened. I'm 62, lived in/around London all my life. It used to be awesome but now it's beyond saving so leaving isn't easy and it's real sad but there it is. So, thanks for the thought, I'm looking forward to doing the same.

This was one of the first toy cars I had around 1966. I lost it in the play ground...and that haunted me for 30 years until I bought and restored a real e-type ( and painted it in red metallic)....after a while I was cured and sold the car with some loss of money...But...I got it out of my system.

[@thomasewing2656]

I loved my pre-1970 matchbox collection, but I didn't go out and buy full-sized cars to match. However, I noticed, years later, that a few of my 'grown-up' cars were surprising duplicates of some of the models in my collection, year and make. I wonder...(if only I had a full-sized #24 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow!)

For the windscreen you could use Polywatch. This is a polishing liquid for plexiglass watch crystal that would be great on a model's windscreen.

[@AddictiveDissolve]

This video is totally bananas, and I LOVE it. The professionalism, the care you take in your work, and the humour! Probably not the first time you hear this advice, but I feel compelled to repeat it: Use gloves while messing around with chemicals and handling the rougher aspects of your work. Your skin won't recover from continuous damage. P.S. I have a 1/18 Bburago model of this car, also red. Beautiful car.

They had a full Matchbox display that had the sample cars shown on the top..including a green Jaguar XK-E (the US designation). However, in all those years we went through there, the bin that held the cars for sale were almost never restocked and I never was able to buy that car..not until many years later ,, collecting Hot Wheels with my sons...
