- Restoring a Lesney Matchbox No. 27D Mercedes 230 SL, in the Matchbox range from 1966 until 1971, becoming part of the Superfast range in 1970.

Here I take this windowless SL and give it the Special Love and attention it deserves. A new coat of paint tidies up the Slightly Lacklustre bodywork, and a polish of the base really makes this Super-Leicht shine once more.
Hopefully this series will track my progress and aid me becoming a better modeller. There are plenty more videos to come and I have a big selection to choose from for future restorations. Please like and subscribe to be informed of new content first.

Hi guys, thanks to cassax67 for also pointing out the window was too low! I was dubious, but I have reworked the rivet post holding it in position a little and I've posted a pic in the community section, go and check it out! Cheers, Jason.
Awesome job Jason even with the low window I think it turned out beautiful.
Excellent restoration Jason! I Think using the polishing compound and buffing it out gave the grill and bumpers a more scale like shine to them and really improved the appearance. I like the pure white color rather than the off white.Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Good job mate
looks great, well done
Hello, friend. Good job!
I like the brighter white color. Looks smashing!
Very nice restoration. I like the pure white color. fine result and, as always, very good work.
Nice work Jason Brian Thailand
Good restoration,looks like new again !
Very nice. It looks so original.
Nice and neat!
Cheers
Nice job man
Looks 100% better. The bright white looks very good. Always enjoy your videos.
Surprising👍
Awesome
Nice
Wow Jason what a transformation. Top restoration Mate.
Nice job Jason, I have this car in my collection awaiting restoration. It's amazing what a good fit the doors are. Again thanks for sharing your work with us.
Looks lovely but I think you have put too much trust in that window post... it is too low. Give it another push on and check the angle before putting it back together. 😃
Thanks for reaffirming for me! I've reworked that rivet and posted a picture in the community section.
Excellent restoration Mercedes 230SL👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice job Jason. These cars look so much better with original wheels; very few of them suited the Superfast versions.
All the Best,
Dougie.
Nice job :)

Nicely done! Your restorations have gotten very good! 👍🏻
I like the color you chose.
Excellent work Jason looks great..all the best.

Hello. Very good job. From where did you purchase the plastic windscreen? I am trying to rebuild the exact model myself.
Mine came from model-supplies.co.uk
Good luck with the build!
Where did you buy this new window? :) Need one !

Are you building the Harry Potter car for Opa’s buildoff?
Yep working on it at the moment actually. That and an original style restoration of the car at the same time.
DiecastRestos looking forward to it! I made a trailer/teaser for it and realized I had the wrong Diecast restos.. ooops I’ll fix it and post it later tonight!
