I used to watch your videos all the time 😭 this channel is awesome

[@FenrisTheMannis]

Good 'ol Marty and his magic tricks. Glad you're back with us, 'ol chap.

[@olastalsberg3062]

It is so good to have you back

[@rdmeenach]

I always like the tabloid headlines you choose for the paint booth, but the electric bum wiper made me laugh the hardest! Have missed the Marty bits…welcome back!

[@raymonde4272]

And at 8:01 "I'm just going through the motions here" when showing the headline.

[@AvengerII]

Remember, Marty buys these tabloids for Kevin to practice his reading for his driver's license exam!

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

The paint booth headlines are ALWAYS a hoot! Love them♥️♥️

[@AndrewBrierley]

Me too, couldn't stop laughing

[@georgejones3526]

Apparently it ripped off his scrotum.

[@daveogarf]

It looked like a Barbie Dream Car From HELL! YIKES! Thank you so much, Marty, for making this look like a real Wolesley again.

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

Hi Marty & Kevin🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰!! Wonderful restoration!! I hope we get to see more videos of the fun, cute, happy misadventures both you and Kevin go on soon

"Inventor Killed By Electric Bum Wiper"! Priceless!

Brings back a good memory! my dad owned a 57 when we were stationed in Cornwall in the early 70's.

[@cynzhero62]

Wow Marty your hands look painful!. The hands of a true working man!. Your time around the camera with family is loads of fun!. Thank you sir 🙏

[@williamthompson286]

I Always enjoy the the castings inspection... even as a child I appreciated the amount of detailing that was on these little cars...of course this was easier to see with eyes that were 60 years younger...🚗🚗🚗🚗

[@1973Washu]

The heavy handed pink paint job probably preserved the details of the casting for all these years.

[@stephenamy9879]

The badge on the radiator was illuminated by a small bulb, you could always tell it was a Wolseley coming down the road at night , also they had a distinct exhaust 'tone', there was also a Riley version that was more equipped , both makes often came in a 'two tone' paint job...

[@olgai.menendez9493]

Awesome job. Great to see busy again! Oh that Kevin 😂

[@roypearce6968]

Nice make over Marty and love the color to. Kevin up to his truck again that was a good one love it 🤣🤣

[@IfInDoubt..]

I think the interior piece said "SUNBEAM" underneath. Also, it's great to see you back, had me worried that something had happened!

[@kathyflorcruz552]

Sunbeam! I thought it said SUN BED M . I'm a goof. I thought they were trying to do a Barbie type conversion beach theme. 😆

[@Bazza.baz224]

Definitely a Sunbeam interior

beautiful resto your newspaper paint booth print always make me laugh. Kevin's pranks are always entertaining

[@paul-sparky-sparr4160]

G'day from Cuxhaven 👋🏻 A Woolsley... By the shape of the grille, I almost thought it was an early Holden. (The shape is quite similar 😜) The colour of the model is called "sky"... Well, if you're out on the North Sea in winter, in rough seas, you might have this face colour🤣 but I've never seen a pale green sky either.... I have also done the installation of an interior, but not on a classic 😉 Great work Marty, I'm thrilled. Definitely a thumbs up from me for that. 👍🏻 (BTW... poor "Graham" and his "invention"...🤣👍🏼) Maybe you should keep KEVIN off the internet 😂 Thanks a lot for sharing 🙏🏼 Have a bonza week to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Greetings from the DCcoB at the lighthouse end of the Elbe River. (And a special shoutout to Australia's most koalafied buffoon. Go Kevin 👍🏼🤣🐨) 😎👍🏼🇦🇺✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠

[@bbrewe71]

My daughter and I are so glad you are back!

[@robertverschueren9136]

My congrats for your new 'farth bag' 😀. Thank you for the tip with the Dettol for remove paint on the wheels. Gonna buy it now to try it on a set of complete overpainted wheels

[@jacksparerow9429]

Beautiful work Marty! The 50s style and paint job of this car reminds me of the Ford army car in the opening scene from Indiana Jones and the crystal skull.

[@kyledimond966]

Thanks to you Marty i managed to restore a Hornby class 35 window after someone put pink nail polish on it used the break fluid worked an absolute treat 👍🏻

[@danielbritton8588]

It is Thanksgiving Day week here in the U.S. Boy am I thankful you are back.

[@rog2224]

The feature on the front wing over the wheel was just a design in trim - sort of a chrome piping that demarcated the two tones of paint

[@johnstephens8579]

exactly this!

[@xcomboy666]

Your videos are always a good time. "Sky" was indeed a pale-green RAF undersides color in WWII. Humbrol made a match to it, too. Also, I'm not the only viewer who noticed that the word etched into the interior piece's mold is SUNBEAM, a pretty specific clue. All the best.

[@lancerevell5979]

Yep, I've used a lot of the Sky paint for undersides of early WWII Spitfires, Hurricanes and others, when doing styrene models. Also used postwar by the Royal Navy and Canadian Navy aircraft. It's a bit greener than Imperial Japanese Navy gray-green.

[@philco7044]

I thought it was Duck egg blue for the underside of a spitfire wing ?

[@peterells1720]

I agree on SUNBEAM!

[@lotharrenz4621]

that would make it the interior for the husky sunbeam alpine. I thought it looked somewhat familiar...

[@ericperkins3078]

@@lotharrenz4621 Good God, man. You thought the interior plastic of a Husky Sunbeam Alpine looks "somewhat familiar"?? Who do you think you are, Austin Milbarge??

[@Coffee_Haze]

Not indicators, just chrome trim with logo. Good for splitting a two tone colour scheme, if you like that kind of thing. Good to have you back upright and functional!

[@Brusselpicker]

Mate you got some proper working man's hands there, I'm amazed how delicate you can be when restoring such fine detailing. It's not a criticism either I was a mechanical engineer for the UK ministry of defence and my hands looked pretty much the same. Bloody beautiful makeover mate.

[@harrisonross4009]

I was thinking the same thing about the tabloids toooooo funny . Still enjoy watching your restoration work simply amazing.

[@RestorationAustralia]

Super cute, well done, I love the colour very original. Fashion is rotating even in colours and sooner or later they will be back. I already see machine grey Audi's and Mercedes 😊

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Great job marty it looks so much better in the green. Kevin still getting up to his tricks little bugger 🤣 Great video mate

[@agamemnonahb]

Wonderful video. So happy you're back. That color of green sky is something you don't want to see. Here in what we call Tornado Alley in the US, that color sky is a sign of a tornado.

[@williamdeegan7840]

Darn Kevin. AWESOME job. One of my favorite Gray Wheels.

[@gregc4311]

Great restore! Glad you finally found Julie's pink toothbrush, 🤣

[@aazogbi]

The tabloid headlines... how on earth can people think of such titles! And this time in tune with Kevin's idea of fun. Great restauration as always, very nice to be able to enjoy MMM once again

[@vaoinas]

Hi, Marty! Glad you are back here in the KZbin. For using the DOT-4 (yeah, that's the right one) You could just dunk the whole base with wheels into it and wait a bit to let it do its thing instead of trying to rub off the paint with a cotton bud. Works much better this way and doesn't harm the plastic nor the metal parts. PS. Say hello to Kevin

[@Elizabeth-0]

I’ve been watching since you did the hobby reveal tour video. I don’t even collect Matchbox cars (I build plastic models) but I find watching these restorations immensely enjoyable. I look forward watching every video you upload.

[@michaelgoode9555]

By coincidence I saw one of these still out in the wild only a couple of days ago. A very beautiful small car. Great job there. Love it. 👍

[@jebsails2837]

Marty, I worked the mid-night to 0800 shift for 5 years. I can tell you that as the light begins to brighten the morning sky that green is one of the shades it displays as it goes through the spectrum. Missed the drilling and tapping of the threads and tiny screws. Narragansett Bay

[@stevengunter3457]

great looking make over on that one. good to see you still got a great sense of humor. i hope you have a great week.

[@HOTA_CHATON]

[@MeepsRestorations]

I love the colour you chose the car looks fantastic 🤩

[@JamesyG3166]

Wolseley 1500 and Riley one point five were based on the Morris minor floor plan . I believe a version was sold in Australia as the Morris Major .

[@michaelharrison500]

In Australia they were sold as the Wolesely 1500 Morris Major and Austin Lancer The Wolesely 1500 ran from 1958 to late 59 ( we have the 3rd last Wolesely 1500 built still on the road )

[@timnell207]

Bianchi bicycles traditional color is called Celeste, which I think translates to sky. They have had many shades of Celeste but some are very close to the color you used here.

Matchboxy goodness. Splendid

[@logotrikes]

First thing I noticed was the roof droop and thought a squeeze of the slightly distorted A pillar with padded pliers would have lifted the roof back into shape. Never mind, Marty still does the business...

It is always a pleasure to see your work, greetings from Spain

[@borderlands6606]

My uncle owned the real thing in the 1960s and 70s. Lots of wood and leather, it felt like a miniature gentleman's club inside. I also recall the Matchbox version being small and un-flashy, so not very popular with kids.

[@51pogo]

Great little car. I began collecting Matchbox in the US around ‘58, ‘59 but focused on the trucks, construction and other commercial vehicles, not the smallest of the cars like this, the Morris Minor, etc. which looked too “foreign” to me. Our local toy and sporting goods store had a birthday registry of sorts for kids. They sent you a card which had to be returned to get $1.00 off any purchase. The same card went back and forth each year. As Matchbox there were US$0.39 (discounted from 0.49), I could get two and a half, and my mother would chip in the extra 17 cents to get a third (no sales taxes then). My first ones were #47, Brooke Bond Tea, #17 Bedford/Matchbox Removals Van, green/metal original wheels and the “bonus” was #6, the yellow Euclid Dump Truck. Still have ‘em, but still none of the smaller cars like this restored beauty. Going to have to search them out at the next toy or train show. Great to see you back and well, Marty!

Great episode! Love 🐨!!!! 😂

[@mannye]

I love that color. A few years ago I saw a Jaguar XJ that was mint green with a white interior and admittedly, when hearing it, it may sound a little crass or flashy, but in person it was the most elegant and beautiful color combination I've ever seen on a Jag. I will eventually make a car with this combo.

[@Woodpile63]

So happy Marty and Kevin are back. Great resto.

[@unky-duky7033]

Glad to see you're back !.......................love the ranch !!..............................

[@dtgnr69]

Wonderful video! I've restored a few vintage Matchbox while leaving the axles on. It takes time, but I manage to wrap the axles and wheels with tape. Probably more work than it's worth. For removing old paint off the wheels, I've had great luck with Super Clean. It was especially great on the #21 Commercial Milk Float van. Super Clean removed all sorts of paint that was splattered on the plastic parts without damaging the plastic

[@mgee669]

I have always wished that you would paint the tail lights red such a nice touch!

The interior is probably from a Corgi Husky Sunbeam, they were predominantly yellow and were a two seater. Should be able to see an example on E-bay. Top Vid as always Marty nice to have you back.

[@raymondbardeen6450]

I love the use of the editorial papers you tape at the bottom of your spray booth. The only other best use would be either the bottom of a bird cage or cat litter box. Actually that is the best use for that garbage media. Well, maybe wiping Kevin’s bottom after a potty run would be just as good. We had a similar rag here in the US, called the National Enquirer, I think. Keep up the good work, Marty. Love the makeovers.

[@antonionunes9525]

Great restauration once again. Many thanks.

welcome back Marty, so great to see you back, and have missed you relaxing voice and awesome videos, can not wait to see the mischievous kevin get him self into, though i notice something in this video, not sure if you notice it but the roof of the car, look like it was deformed on the right * laughs* but once you see the bend roof, it hard not to not un-see it.

[@stevejones1682]

Hi Marty. I thought I'd do a web search on that car. Images show you are right about the interior being added. That was a great observation there. What is missing though is Perspex windows. Although there are also lots of images showing it without. Renovations maybe? Great job you have made though. 👍

Marty utilise des gants, tu vas de bouffer les doigts, avec les décapants et les peintures Belle réalisation comme toujours

[@RWSBaden]

Hi Marty, Very nice restore of a classic Matchbox model. Yes it looks like Kevin that little trickster has played a joke on you once again 😀 For folks living in the United States and Canada, I've had excellent results with Scalecoat II Wash Away Paint Stripper/Remover when removing paint from plastic parts. It's 100% plastic safe, but I don't believe that product is available in Australia. Another product I've had good luck with is Testors ELO (Easy Lift Off) Paint Stripper/Remover and it's also 100% plastic compatible. Sadly, Testors has been scaling back on hobby paint production since they were purchased by Rust-Oleum and the availability of ELO maybe limited. Cheers, Rich S.

Hi Marty! It was fun and interesting to see how you overcame the various challenges with the alternative restoration method you used on this model. I expect Kevin was hiding close by having himself a good laugh at the end.
