Remember the joy of going to the old man's favorite seaside spot Prestatyn in one of these in the mid sixties,the joy of sitting on the leather seats after they'd been in the sun all day and getting a smack for moaning,great restoration again looks wonderful.

Hi Martin this Riley looks a bit like the Woolseley and MG Magnet. My eldest brother had a Woolseley ex police car. They had a pull down blind on the back window that you could operate from the drivers seat. So my brother being my brother wrote BOLOCKS on it and if anyone blew there horn at him he would pull the blind down. Then one day someone blew there horn so he pulled the blind down and then he heard the police bell behind him. It was a police car and the police were not very impressed with the sign.👮🏻♂👮🏻♀😂😂🤣🤣 Yet again the car has turned out beautiful like new and it looks fantastic on the diorama. Great to hear your eyes are a lot better now great because we get to enjoy our favourite diecast restorer for many more years to come.👍🏻 Catch you on the next one mate.👍🏻
Thanks Geoff, that's a great idea with the blind love it , I can imagine the look on the coppers face when the blind came down .
All the best Martin 👍
Beatiful work, Martin, car looks amazing and the diorama really set it off. Once again you have inspired me, half way through the video, I paused and bought a little wheel puller the same as yours. Thanks Martin, I dont know what I would do without you guys that record restorations 👍🏻
Thanks Chris it's a useful tool and thanks for the kind words and support 👍
Cracking little restoration lovely attention to detail
Cheers Dean
Another superb restoration we car suits the colour.
Thank you for the video. Take care

As always, I enjoyed every moment of this video, Martin. Never seen a little gear puller like that. Love the diorama too, which sets off another of your pristine restorations. 🍁☕👍
Thanks very much, the hub puller is a very handy tool to keep on the bench ,all the best Martin
As always, high-quality work, the hand of the master is visible 👍

Nice Restoration, Martin I like it when you do late 50s/ early 60s corgi/dinky cars and trucks , much more character to them, keep up the fantastic work, always a pleasure to watch,all the best to you and your family.

Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to watching more of your restoration videos!

Hi there Martin that was a very nice one the colour pop. Thanks for the tool tip, ive seen one of them tools before and I just realised where I seen it in my tools ive got for my RC cars and my helicopters , that is the perfect tool for pulling off wheels great tip 👍👌
Thanks Ralph it's a handy tool to have especially for that type of hub .
All the best Martin
Very nice restoration Martin she turned out better then new👍 cheers
Cheers Jeff much appreciated my friend
Beautiful restoration Martin I shall be buying one of those pulleys lot easier than old way well done 👍
Thanks Adrian it's ideal for those types of hubs ,enjoy your Sunday my friend
Martin a really good job as usual. Simple, classic Corgi the colour suits it down to a tee. Love the diorama shots. Another "ditch finder" back from the dead. All the best to you my friend.cheers from the cold Blue Mountains. Chris 🇦🇺👍🏻🍻🌨❄️💨
Cheers Chris much appreciated my friend 👍
looks great again, love the deep red, it suits the time period and the casting well. :) and we get to see your diorama in action, too. ^^
Thanks Lothar it is certainly a better colour all the best Martin 👍
nice sympathetic Restoration Martin great colour choice love Nelsons garage too 👍👍
Cheers Neil, I hope your well my friend the garage is a cool back drop .
Enjoy your Sunday
School Day on the hub pullers, Martin: thanks for that! Nice colour - far more likely to be a real car than the flashy 'toy' red that was on the original model. Gemini do a neat little offering of red, white and orange 'lamps' at various millimetric sizes; I use them where there are no lights moulded where there should be some. Stunning final result - again - and a pleasure to see these simple castings survive.
PS. You should be able to get the this cotton gloves - if the paint is still a bit soft, sometimes those knitted cotton gloves will make a pattern in the varnish. If not, I'll send some or bring them over in July. And how much quicker your riveting is now the peepers are sorted!
Cheers fraser, the different coloured gems are a good call ,I will nip down to Hatton garden and get some only the best for my restorations 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the gloves
Enjoy your day my friend
Great restoration Martin, always impressed how nice the glass comes out, :) Cheers mate
Thanks Tom, the glass is the most fragile part but the most impressive if it comes out clean 👍
All the best Martin 👍
Fabulous restoration Martin cheers Michael
Cheers Michael 🍻
Hi Martin excellent work once again, love the garage set up too …brilliant
Thanks Kevin it's really appreciated my friend 👍
Hi Martin this brought back some memories. We had a two tone one when we were kids a 2.6 i believe it was called. I think my dad bought it because he could get all five of us on the back seat. He only sold it when we got to big and replaced it with a minx estate so one of us could sit in the back behind the seat. All the best from Ian b & family.
That's great Ian thay were a nice car sitting in the back of an estate car was always a fun time imagine the trouble you would get in to now if you put your kids in the back 😀.
All the best Martin 👍
Great result Martin. The burgundy colour looks period correct to me. More learnt from this restoration. The gear puller is one I never thought of and will explore that one further. The diorama set off the car nicely. Well done.
Thanks Andy glad you liked it my friend 👍
Looks fantastic,
Cheers Stephen 🍻
Hi Martin the Riley was a challenge but turned out good colour was the right choice
Thanks very much it's much appreciated my friend
Well done martin fantastic choice of colour and the diarama shots are just perfect,.. it's a joy to watch you bring these little ones back to life thank you ..... did I hear correctly that you have your eyes fixed well congratulations that must be a great relief for you, and more videos for us 👍 ... would it be possible to see some of the work your doing on the trains ? ... thanks again ......
Thanks Gregory, yes my eyes are all good thanks very much
I will see what I can do regarding the railway stuff ,I do intend to have a 0 gauge train in the back ground on the diorama .
All the best Martin 👍
That is awesome Martin.
Thanks very much Michael
Nice job Martin. I'm gonna find me that puller too 👍

There we go! Nice resto Martin
Thanks very much my friend its really appreciated
Great job Martin, have a good one✌️😎
Thanks Don you to mate
Really great work 👍
Thanks very much it's really appreciated my friend
Hi Martin, that's a lovely resto. These were really nice cars weren't they? So stylish. I recently did one of these, and made a really silly mistake; I'd finished off all the painting and lacquering, re-assembled it and then realised i had stupidly forgot to put in the front set of wheels! I had to carefully take it apart again, which was annoying as I'd achieved a really nice finish on it. I didn't want mess it up. I persevered and it turned out really nice. Great that you can see better mate. You certainly need good eyes for this hobby. All the best 👍
Hey Alan I have done the same thing a few times so your OK 👍 glad you got it sorted
Love it.
Thanks very much Rob
gorgeous job martin colour is more like what the real car would be finished in
Cheers Paul much appreciated brother 👍
Hi Martin ,nice job on the riley ,remember thease ,police had them i belive ,and alot succomed to the stock racers as was the mg magnets ,apperrantly they had good road handling and quick anyway good job all the best
Thanks very much my friend its really appreciated, yes sadly a lot of the good old classics went for banger racing.
All the best Martin 👍
Splendid!
Thanks very much my friend its really appreciated 👍

Cheers my friend its a nice one to have ,I appreciate you watching my friend 👍
I reckon that tyre must've been in there from the factory, I cant imagine how it got in there otherwise, another nice job.
Hi Peter, this is quite possible, iam waiting one day I might find a note of some sort inside a bit like a message in a bottle 😉🤞😀
Riley Pathfiinder always needs to be red
🤔😀 maybe
