MATCHBOX restomod: 75B Ferrari Berlinetta
Restomodding a Lesney Matchbox No. 75B Ferrari Berlinetta, in the Matchbox range from 1965 until 1971, joining the Superfast range in 1970.
It's my 300th episode and what better way to celebrate than restomodding one of Lesney's most iconic Matchbox castings; the 75B Ferrari Berlinetta. It even appears on a sculpture at the site of Lesney's old factory in east London such is its importance, representing an example of the first castings made at the factory between 1969 and 1982.
The model is based on Ferrari's 1963-64 250 GT Lusso, the final vehicle to bear the famous 250 name. It was a GT car focused on luxury with a stylish leather interior and wooden steering wheel, while the exterior was designed by Pininfarina and coachbuilt by Scaglietti.
While the Matchbox model did come in red during the transitional period over to the updated Superfast series in 1970 as well as rare pre-production examples, all other 'regular wheels' era cars were metallic green. Kindly donated by JC Hayes, I decided to restomod this one by painting it red and giving it a wealth of extra detail that it so deserved. I intersperse footage throughout this video from my first attempts at these castings from 2019, my 10th ever UA-cam video.

Equally, most had light grey painted bases but some later examples had plated ...

I firmly believe that the Audi 100 Coupé S is one of the finest looking machines to come out of Germany, arguably ever. The car took the good front-end looks of the Audi 100 sedan and teamed it with a flowing fastback. It was a vision of things to come for Audi. The 100 Coupe was powered by a 1.9 litre 4-cy...

    What I know about the model, hopefully helpful to you. The TW9 was one of the last models released under Husky Toys branding, after the expiry of the exclusivity deal with Woolworths and the launch of Corgi Juniors it initially gained thin Whizzwheels before the casting was re-engineered to take the standard wide version, I think Corgi retired it about 1973 so around a seven year run in two brands and with three different wheel types. I have one awaiting restoration, an early thin wheel Corgi Junior in cream.

    I cannot believe it is the same model! The color scheme looks great and as far as the windshield is concerned I don't think you had a choice but to sand off the paint as it was thick and resistant to the Detrol and polishing compound. The decals for the wheels are just excellent. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
