Good morning! Thank you for the video rebuild, Mr. Marty. Most folk would not give that poor, beaten up toy a second look but you have polished it up and revealed the Gem that was hidden by the wear of Time.
Marty and I did not plan to do the same casting . . . Great minds think alike? I started "baking" paint earlier this year and it works great! Nice job Sir Martin! ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
I know what you mean about baking the paint! - Wished I knew about this earlier. It sure does speed things up and I have also said goodbye to fingerprints on the finished models which always used to p##s me off when viewing the highly magnified final reveal!
I dont know if you really understand how much of a difference you make to your fans. You might, but I just wanted to say it just lights up my day when you post a video. Because when life is going badly, I know that if nothing else, I have a Marty video to look forward to. Thank you.
The 'coke powered' belch is the giveaway that Kevin is draining his employee discount to the max! Love these older models, they have a timelessness to them that hints of older days and many owners through several generations.
Very nice, what a treat to sit back, relax with a cuppa, some mint slice biscuits watch and this vid after a very busy sunday. That orange/red colour really makes the coca-cola signs POP. excellent work Marty.
Another fine rescue restoration. I thought that casting had seen its better days after you stripped it but you proved me wrong, looks like better days are still ahead. Thanks for sharing Mike from Texas,Take Memories,Leave Footprints
Happy memories as I worked for C W S soft drinks in the U K.The little Commer Carrier truck was Ideal for pop delivery door to door. Enjoyed the drive and comfort in the cab.
Great vid. You must have a sizeable collection of superbly restored models by now. Any chance you could do a video showing them all in your display case - it would be nice to see them all. Just a suggestion.
This is yet another cracking good restoration, by the way! I remember playing with so many of your subjects as a child and it brings back so many happy memories seeing these models being brought back to good health.
Lots of pitting to deal with on this seemingly straightforward model. Came out very well in the end. The decals on the sides of the rear looked awkward to do. Proper job!
You should get a cheap tooth cleaning "water pik" and use it like a pressure washer. They're what I would use to "pressure wash" my older models to get the dust off without rubbing!
Marty having now caught the Matchbox bug the 37a was my very first restoration and boy was it hard getting the paint out from around the tops of the crates but it came good in the end. So thank you for opening up a new and interesting hobby. Now I'm Grasshopper you are Master!
Very nice indeed as the colors match my logo. 😉 Thanx for sharing this, Marty. I am always amazed at your craftmanship! Best regards from Germany, Volker
An awful dark gray sunday morning at the northsea-shore. But.... what's that? A new MMM video. Where's my cup of coffee? Yep, I've got it. First a like and now, let's enjoy it.....😁☕ Awesome work, Mate. All three of them turned out brilliant. Once again, well done Marty 👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing this little bit of sunshine and best regards to You, Julie and the whole gang behind the camera. And, of course KEVIN🐨 👍👍👍😁
One of my 1st and favorite cars . Father gave me the 37 18 c Bulldozer with man and BEA coach in the early 1960s. The BEA coach was perfect for our N gage train set
Very nice Marty! Your strict commitment to original condition is great, I really appreciate it! But every now & then, let yourself get a little crazy & try a custom! I'd love to see where your creativity would go! The "Mr. Bean" car project was equally enjoyable! Thank you for the entertainment! 😊
My goodness! I have one of these Coca Cola trucks in my closet. I’ve never seen another one. Excellent restoration-I’ll have to dig mine out and see how beat up it is. :)
I was driving down the road with my wife when suddenly we received a glancing blow from a van being driven by a Koala bear. I wound down the window and shouted, “You clipped us!” “No thanks" the Koala shouted back. "I’ve already eaten."
Love those type of tractors (ie cabover engine). Up Over they were a response to the overall lengths placed on lorry's on the road. A really nice save of a well played with toy. Narragansett Bay
When I can't fall asleep, I find one of Marty's videos. They are just so wonderfully SOOTHING. Marty, have you ever considered offering your voice to the narration of videos for children? Seriously.
Amazing work there Marty. It is to bad they didn't put a rear bumper on it to hide where the base slips into the body. I do have the one without the base for that reason alone. Like how you get the color shading correct!🔥🔥🔥
This was another great tutorial! I liked the history of the models and the other two #37's you restored were as good as this one. They all three look like Lesney just made them. There were a lot of very good tips and techniques in this as well and I will certainly watch this again. Thanks for all of your effort in making these tutorials.
Just a thought. For painting the middles like this that have the clip holes make a custome holder from a toothpick or pop cycle stick that you can insert into the hole.
Thanks Marty! I’ve restored both types of this model and they do look superb, just like yours. All that extra work for the sketches is appreciated, the restoration is hard work enough but to add something extra is going the extra mile!
Thank you Marty for another entertaining video. I enjoy every one and always look forward to them. I would love to see a video tour of your collection. You must have an entire wing of the estate roped off to contain them all.
Another great job Marty, I have both this one and the no base one on my desk awaiting a restoration so this video was quite timely as was Time Riders makeover of the same model this week.

Its wonderful to see you wearing rubbergloves. Good role model 👍
Nicely done, Sir. The body repair work was very clean indeed.
Another fine rescue restoration.

Thanks for sharing

Another excellent restoration! That Coke truck is one of my favorites. Glad you rescued it
That satin black is such a great looking color for the base! Nice work, Marty!
Fantastic work, your attention to detail is inspiring! Such a simple model but one of the best - their older diecast are so much better...

Those old Lesney casts, I swear, man, they're beautiful.
Great restoration again this time, Marty! You are the best.
But try to do something about Kevin's digestion!
Very snappy Marty,my grandson would love one of those in his collection as he is quite fond of Coca Cola.
Ditto, 2 A.M. Sunday here. Well done Marty. Regards to all. Tom USA
Thanks Mate. Greetings back from northern Germany 👍😁👍😁👍

Came out fantastic!
Very nice! Some of your best work yet.
Great restoration

Always a pleasure to see Kev. Great job on this model, Marty! Always a pleasure to watch.
Nice Job! Good tip with the super glue. Watching from Chicago Illinois USA
I think my brother and I had one of those Coca-Cola trucks. We might have even had both editions but I'm not sure if we had the baseless one or not.
Great work, greetings from Costa Rica, greetings to Kevin

I've been watching your channel for at least three or four years now and I just figured something out you are Kevin! 😁
My goodness! I have one of these Coca Cola trucks in my closet. I’ve never seen another one. Excellent restoration-I’ll have to dig mine out and see how beat up it is. :)
Isn't it exiting to be the first one to see in the Modell since it was manufactured in England ;-)
Very nicely done. Keep up the good work.
As usual Marty, a very informative restro. Beautifully done Coke Cola truck.
Once again, Kevin is up to his old tricks.
Nice job on this one Marty. I can never get the super glue to sand that well. Thanks!
EXCELLENT JOB MARTY ☆☆☆☆☆
I was driving down the road with my wife when suddenly we received a glancing blow from a van being driven by a Koala bear.
I wound down the window and shouted, “You clipped us!”
“No thanks" the Koala shouted back.
"I’ve already eaten."
Groan!
Lololol!! It took me a couple of seconds to get it and then I wet myself.
Oh for Petes sake!
The koala-ty of the puns around here, I tell you ...
Okay, I'm a pretty witty and funny guy, but you'll have to call me stupid because I still don't get it.
Another great makeover, Marty. Enjoyed seeing some of your previous work.

Yay!! 11:30 at night and there's a new MM video. Sleep can wait!

Great job and glad to see Kevin back. He's always causing trouble.
I had this as a kid... Completely forgot about it until I saw this video. Funny thing memory. Cheers for the memory fix.
Thank you Marty !!!. Happy holidays to you and your family !.

The green screening and shadows were better than a lot of movies I've seen.
Lovely stuff! Love seeing the whole range of these trucks. No doubt the model missing the crates has been subject to Koala interference.
Looks better than new!
one of my favorites. nice job
Thank you Marty for another entertaining video. I enjoy every one and always look forward to them. I would love to see a video tour of your collection. You must have an entire wing of the estate roped off to contain them all.
Superb job!
A very enjoyable series of videos to watch, well done Marty
Beautiful work like always, and Kevin behave that's awesome .Greetings from Allentown Pennsylvania USA
You know, a PointZero mini sandblaster would make quick work of clearing off those intricate areas on this truck and a lot of other models.
Fabulous once again!
Beautiful. Always enjoy your videos
Hello Marty good tip with glue and baking powder thanks
Beauty Marty!
A great show and excellent restoration 🏆🏆🏆 i also done up one but the earlier type they add to the collection well
Love these older models. I've never been to England, but I can picture this vehicle driving around town making deliveries . Very cool.
Great job, definitely worth the effort. What a cute little truck
Great job as usual marty ! I don't think it will be long before you get 125k subs, good job mate.
Wow. It looks brand new mate. Superb job and kevin was being cheeky as usual lol
Hello from Rhome, Texas. Another great video. I got my MMM addiction for the week. Can't wait for the next one.
I love these simple models
Always enjoy how the paint goes off after you apply the paint striper. Great job. Thanks Marty for inspiring me to follow this hobby
Love these little trucks. Cathartic view, as usual. Thank you!
So clever and well spoken - thx Marty
Lovely job Marty ,as always
It’s so 60’s looking I love it
Looks excellent well done!
Bad Kevin!🐨 Lovely restoration. Orange though on a Coke truck? What were they thinking? Dopes. 😁
Marty, as always a fantastic restoration on the old Coke wagon.
You always make them look like new !
Another great job Marty, I have both this one and the no base one on my desk awaiting a restoration so this video was quite timely as was Time Riders makeover of the same model this week.
Kevin is back!! 🐨 Great job per usual!
KEVIN!! (Shakes fist at camera!)
The middle model has extra crates, not missing ones.
Marty what a fantastic job, Hey can you show off your collection of your finished models..
Very nice and detailed restorations marty good job well done again 👍
Since you have another one you can always make a custom job. Perfect excuse to Chrome it up.
