Dinky vs Corgi restoration. Austin London Taxi. The Beatles Stickers. Die-cast model.

Today I am renewing two London taxis. The main character of the film is Dinky's Austin taxi produced in 1973. For comparison, I also show the restoration of a taxi of the same model from the Corgi company produced in 1977. Both models are black, classic for this type of taxi. The Corgi model is on a scale of 1 to 36 and is slightly larger than the Dinky model. The Dinky model door had broken upper hinge pins. I made new ones from 1.6 mm thick steel wire. Both cars needed thorough cleaning and painting. In the Dinky taxi, I also replaced the glass, which was cracked, with a glass made by vacuum thermoforming. To make both models more attractive, I also made decals related to The Beatles. Corgi released a whole batch of cars with various decals related to this team. I also show what the original boxes for these taxis looked like. My boxes are made of 250 gram cardboard and printed in a digital printing house. Thank you for watching the movie, I publish videos with the repair of cars on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on and off the subtitles in your language in the video.

I'd never noticed until now just how much that model of taxi looks like a Mini. Much bigger in real life but the back end really looks like one.

[@martindaredare]

These turned out very smart paul, I like the addition of the decals. Excellent.
All the best Martin 👍

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much Martin

[@joallawestervelt6918]

Both well done, Paul, well done. I don't think I can pick a favorite. You always do an awesome job on restorations and the boxes. Thanks for sharing. 💜😊💜🇺🇸

"Help", "Yesterday" I thought I could use a "Yellow Submarine" to cruise on "Abbey Road", "when I'm 64"....
No cóż... To właśnie przychodzi mi na myśl, gdy widzę te dwa modele.
Wspaniała rekonstrukcja i wspaniały hołd dla wspaniałego zespołu. Osobiście nieco bardziej podoba mi się wersja z klasycznymi obręczami, ale obie wyszły fantastycznie 👍🏼😎
Dobra robota, mój drogi Pawle, jestem zachwycona. Zdecydowanie trzymam za to kciuki 👍🏼
Bardzo dziękuję za podzielenie się z nami.
Życzę Wam i Waszym rodzinom udanego weekendu i bezpiecznego wypoczynku.
Tak trzymać 😁

"Help", "Yesterday" I thought I could use a "Yellow Submarine" to cruise on "Abbey Road", "when I'm 64"....
Well... That's what comes to mind when I see these two models.
Excellent restorations and a wonderful tribute to a great band. Personally I like the version with the classic rims a bit better, but both turned out fantastic.👍🏼😎
Well done my dear Paul, I'm thrilled. Definitely a thumbs up from me for this 👍🏼.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound.
Keep up the good work 😁

"Help", "Yesterday" dachte ich, ich könnte eine "Yellow Submarine" gebrauchen um damit auf der "Abbey Road" zu kreuzen, "when I'm 64"...
Tja... Sowas fällt mir ein, wenn ich diese beiden Modelle sehe.
Exzellente Restaurierungen und eine wunderbare Hommage an eine großartige Band. Persönlich gefällt mir die Version mit den klassischen Felgen etwas besser, aber beide sind phantastisch geworden.👍🏼😎
Gut gemacht mein lieber Paul, ich bin begeistert. Von mir ganz klar ein Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼
Vielen Dank fürs teilen.
Dir und deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter.
Mach weiter so.😁

[@2H80vids]

I would usually prefer the older model but, in this case, I think the slightly newer, Corgi version looks more like the real thing, especially the front end.
Overseas viewers may not know that, despite often being referred-to as "London Taxis", these FX4s could be found in virtually every town and city across the UK. They can still be seen today in many places.

I recall (as a kid) that either Corgi or Dinky sold a roll of number plate ("license plate") stickers - with some other stuff like tax disks and such. I used to methodically put them on all of my toys...and the lack of them is really jarring! Especially the rear plate on the Taxi models - which just look *wrong* with a big black rectangle there! Otherwise, it's quite interesting to see the two toy maker's take on what (I presume) is the exact same vehicle. They are *FAR* from identical...which is interesting.
