That Triumph is so beautiful
My Dad bought one of these new in 1968. It was pale blue with blue cloth trim. Even though I was only 6 I remember giving him a hard time as I wanted him to buy the estate version because the one in the showroom was white with a red leather interior and I thought that was cooler. For some reason I can still remember the registration number to this day
My dad had the red ‘leather’ but sadly most of it was vinyl ! Leyland saving money!
Wow a great restoration of a superb triumph.. great video mate
Awesome job Danny , looks great in that two tone color , blue with a white 👍
Very smart looking.
Love the casting, and your work!
Cheers
Excellent work. Most impressive.
Another stunner Danny. I remember when these Triumphs were actually on the roads in quite large numbers - they made a hell of a lot of them in brown.
Danny, GREAT job on the Triumph 2000. Your restoration is flawless as always. Thank you for sharing your excellent work eith us. 5☆'s !!
Nice looking restoration.😍 The windscreen had a short tab protruding from it that held the boot hinge piece in place.😄 This car also came with three pieces of coloured
luggage with can be made by shaping lilliputty into rectangular shapes.👍🏻👍🏻
Great looking restoration Danny
Very nice restoration
Great job I love the aqua blue
Danny!!! Well Done Mate!!! Excellent!!
Lovely job, Danny
Great job, as always. One feature this car has, that might explain the bent axles, is that when you tilt the car the front axle moves backwards on the 'pressed' side. You can see how on the base. The result is the car steering like a skateboard.
I highly recommend brake fluid to safely remove paint of the plastic parts and transparent parts. Leaves no scuff marks.
Thanks Danny!!!
Great job. Love the colour
Nicely done!
Really enjoy watching your videos, cheers
Great job Danny.
I used to have loads of dinky toys as a kid, they were usually if a much higher quality compared to most at the time. Sadly they have all been lost to the ether over the years.
looks awesome 😎👍
Looks great Danny!
Really nice resto. Colour choice was spot on for this car. 👍🏼
Amazing restoration Danny well done.
Nice one Danny and the chosen colour looks well on the model. I am about to do an identical model myself so when I have it in bits I will photograph the window unit and send it to you. I will try the more common turquoise body with white roof. If it comes out half as well as yours I will be happy.
Hi Danny I have removed the window unit from my Triumph 2000 and removed a load of paint off it. I am ready to photograph it for you but because I am basically stupid I cannot locate your email address! Help

Love it. That paint colour really does it justice and the glass came up really good considering the mess it was in.
Nice restoration!
Beautiful piece. I love the older Dinkys and Corgis.. the way toys should be. Nice and heavy.
Nice restoration on a tough project Danny! Interesting casting. Never saw it before.
Dinky made nice models. I have the German Kubelwagon towing an Anti-tank gun. It's still in nice shape for 40+ years old.
Great Job!!! Love the detail!
I believe this looks better than when it first came from the manufacture. This is your best work by far. Absolutely amazing! You know you spoil us with great craftsmanship.
Very good work
Awesome job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lovely job Danny. Can't agree with you about the boot lid though - that's a terrible fit.
He said that there is something missing from the windscreen that hold's the boot lid in properly.
@@Rick_Todd Yep, I heard that but look at the bottom corners. The corners look to be at 45°, rather than squared off, leaving big gaps. No big deal and probably not that noticeable on the finished car, just looked a bit odd to me.
@@2H80vids Ok , I'll take another look. Yes I see the big gap now on the drivers side.
Completely agree. The boot fit is awful but that's not Danny's fault tho. It's down to inferior parts quality. Fair play on the rest of the restoration tho Danny 👍
@@arronjones6985 yes a note to the Replica Parts people , A couple of mm more on each side guys , OK
Looks great with the Vallejo blue paint and the replacement trunk. 😎
Nice work as always
Another great restoration Danny,
I love the bit where you say its in good condition for a car that old..... cheers mate i was born in 64 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Have you ever tried buffing yourself up with a wire wheel?
@@DannysDiecastDisasters ive pulled a few wire pins out after buffing the cars but cant say i have ever tried buffing myself with one mate 😂🤣
Looks nice👌 As a kid growing up I always referred to 1/64's as dinky cars, and never really knew or thought about why. Now I know!
kool , thanx.....neat one , Rock onnn Danny
Robert
Great car 👍
England calling 🏴🇬🇧🏴. Hey Danny, I love your work and particularly liked the idea of using a burring tool instead of a centre punch to start taking the 'rivet' off. It's far less likely to go wrong.
Great idea.
🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
Great job as always 👌
What a transformation! It looks brand new.
Very nice. Stylish car. Lovely paint and glad you could keep the old wheels. The boot lid looks a bit dodgy, but a definite improvement. Nice engine detail. Sweet ride.
for the windscreen you should try dumping it in some self shining floor polish..... just dunk it in, let it dry on some papertowel, and will be like new
Turned out really cool my friend, beforehand it definitely got some usage. The base of it was detailed very well, that is also when they put everything they had into their product. You gave it a new life though my friend. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE HOW YA BROUGHT THE INTERIOR BACK TO BRIGHT N SHINNY AWESOME JOB MATE ☆☆☆☆☆
Really great looking restoration Danny. I really enjoy watching the larger Corgi and Dinky cars being restored.
That's a "Triumphant" job mate. Love it
I can’t recall them ever being this bright a blue although your resto is a lovely job. In its day it was a handsome car with the designer (Michelotti) going on to give us the Triumph Stag.
Great job nice masking work!
Great video! 😃👍
Getting through all your videos slowly 👍👍 all great so far given me ideas and confidence to do some myself
That’s a sharp looking car
There was also the Triumph 2500 which was made in the UK until 1977.There was also an estate version of the car.
The 2500S was top of the range and is a sought after classic like the Stag.
DID THEY SELL THE MG METRO,MAESTRO OR MONTEGO IN AUSTRALIA?
Looks cool Danny
First thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail picture is "did Dinky really make a Hongqi CA 770 limousine?"
Nicely done Danny! Thanks for sharing my friend.
Love the work Man
Nice job
Nice job Danny, a change from the post apocalyptic cars, I love the variety of cars you do.
Great job! Looks as if it just rolled of the production line!
Danny you never cease to amaze me....WOW
Nice job Danny all ways good to see these videos 👍
That car was really a test , junkyard to new car dealer . Great work , nice paint . Mike Espo..
i had a brochure of that car and the model showed was what they called english white, when i saw your diecast disaster i immediately thought of that colour. well, you kept your dinky more Original which i understand and you did a good job
Very good work, the restored car looks beautiful.
W e all know how reproduction parts can differ in quality but they do get a model back which could be scrapped all together....you just have to do the best you can ....The model Triumph 2000 is back and looks good indeed .........keep at it Danny .........
Nice to see you do another larger scale model Danny, that's the scale I work on .
Great job looks excellent.
The detailing of the car is amazing thanks for sharing bro here my like kind regards
Wonderful restoration !Dinkys are cool !
I already tell that , but I love these dinky&corgi , and king matchbox 👍👍.
Nice resto, your uploads are on point too! Thx for sharinv
My dad had a burgundy one late 70’s. i remember how hot the red vinyl seats got in summer! (UK)
Muy bueno!! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
Good job! It looks good as new!
Gidday mate. Just thought I would share a tip with reguards to that rusty suspension plate. Boil in distilled water for about 15 minutes then soft wire brush it should come up in a gun metal blue finish. then a little bit of WD40 on a rag to preserve it. Came up nice though. Kia Ora mate.
That’s a home run restoration 🔥🤘🏻
Top job Danny, looks great in blue and white! Corgi didn't waste any time getting these out, the real cars were only release in early 63. I'm not sure if the name was changed after release, but they're now known as the Mark I 2000 TC (twin carburettor 2L), I owned 2 real later Mk II's 20+ years ago, a 75 2500 TC and a 77 2500 S (both 2.5L straight 6's with twin carburettors). Triumph also equipped some of the cars with a slightly de-tuned version of the 2.5/2500 mechanical fuel injected engine found in the TR5 PI and TR6, those cars were known as the 2.5 PI (Mark I version) or 2500 PI (Mark II version).
the rare one's you mention,numbered 11 in total.according to my info,they were all promo variations.I guess Triumph were trying to push the model,presumably overseas,so what better way than a model of the real thing.maybe whoever painted it before,was trying to make a Police car.i have the smaller 1200 that Corgi did,painted black with a roof light added.
There was a rare black one with a white roof
@@DannysDiecastDisasters yes,that was amongst the 11.
Ok very good man I love it looks like new. Keep dam coming 😉👍👍
My dad had two mark 2’s over the years when I was a kid. I remember the registration on one was KNR 999P which as my dad was a retired police officer, it was uncanny
Kops ‘N’ Robbers 999 Police.
You made a nice toy out of a not so detailed model, Dinky quality had it's moments, but this one really needs some extra care and work.👍
Well danny all i can say is wow wat a transformation the only thing i can see wrong with the boot is the 2 bottom corners are rounded off shame really never owned one of these but did have a mk1 cortina and i only paid £9.50 for it long time ago lol
Nice :)
Just found this from Bare metal, a dude your stuff is pretty good
Did mine in brown with a cream roof. Jmine was intact, just chipped & scruffy. Original tyres all past their death by date
Using corgis that are on 143rd scale are the best to work on I think
Great cars, I had a real 1966 ex police car, twin carbs, 6 cylinder with oil driven overdrive gearbox, it did 30 mpg if you drove it easy as well, good for a 2.0 litre car that size, I wish I still had it now!
I like your "jingle".... Hi... my name is Dany...
You know on the really old ones that have all that detail I often wondered if they had x Jewelers make their dies
Hallo MY dany's how are you daing The car is of 1950 good vídeo MY friend
Công việc đòi hỏi tính kiên trì và tỷ mỉ!
I did my own one having watched your channel for a few months. How do I share the photo ?
My email is in the about section (you need to look on a browser)
Danny's Diecast Disasters thanks Danny!
Much smarter...!
The paint does not look metallic on my screen. The gap between the driver's door and the rear door is filled with paint partially. It might need a new paint job when you fix the boot.
Where did you get the dremmel?
Just from a hardware store 👍
FIRST😊😊😊
