Great restoration, I received this same transporter when I was seven years old. That was over sixty years ago and I still have this today.

I can remember trying to come up with 52 cents to buy a Matchbox car. 55 years later, I still have them.

When some kid was lucky enough to get one of these as a gift they would certainly have been blown away. The red one is my favorite of the two. Awesome job Rob.

And once again, Ladies and Gentlemen, Matchbox Garage has delivered! Great job, Rob. Both paint jobs are awesome but I've never seen the red and gray one before.

3m automotive spot putty works great for filling pits up and doesnt dry out over time.

Could be the best caustic suits reaction I've seen on this channel. Love it!

I received one of those Car Transporters with 4 cars for Christmas one year. It was great and I am sorry to say I don’t remember what happened to it. Red & Gray definitely. Thanks for posting.

All cars are so beautiful! I can't even choose which one I like the most.

@ivandanicek6209 6 years ago

Amazing, nice job. Blue is nice, red and gray is elegant ... but in the end ....point for blue.

Big round of applause from my 2.5yo son here. Both look great - Blue one got the nod from him, although I personally liked the red/grey.

Stunning work! Makes me smile every time.

That is one hell of a turnaround... Epic...

Like the job you do on the diecast cars you restore. The reason why the model filler could be setting off is because of the environment in which it is stored. I had that same problem with some Flex Seal in the can.

Shiny, shiny, shiny..... they came up great! Nice Rob 👍🏻

Absolutely gorgeous, I can't choose between the two they are both great trucks..

Great restoration again!

Beautiful colours and great paintjob, 😎

That chrome grille and bumper breaks that red nicely 😀

I like both of them, but little bit more of red one.

I've got one of these, have been thinking about renovating it for decades, this has inspired me, I'm definatly going to do it... its a Bedford S TYPE and use to come with a tin ramp to load the cars.. got it when I was around 8 or 9, now mid 70s...
