Dinky renovation of Austin Somerset Saloon No. 40J. Deluxe version. Diecast model toy.

The Dinky company introduced the Austin Somerset Saloon model to the market in the early 1950s. It is a classic English family car that was produced as a simple model without any extras. I received my copy very worn. It shows that several generations of children have played with this model. I decided to renovate it in an improved version, adding windows and suspension to the Austin. I changed its painting to two-color. I packed everything in a copy of the original box that was produced in the early 1950s. Thank you for watching the video, I publish videos on car repairs on Tuesdays and Saturdays. In the video, you can turn on subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity - press the letter C on your keyboard or three dots on your mobile phone.

[@RalphHancock]

A lovely job, and the addition of windows, seats and suspension is pleasing.The paint, though, gives it a very 21st century look, as if it was a model of a comic restomod with a huge V8 engine. I am old enough to remember these things on the road -- the bulbous styling earned them the name 'Mobile Meringue'. Metallic paint was almost unknown then, and I can remember being excited by seeing it for the first time around 1955 on an exotic American import, a Railton in metallic sapphire blue. I think that only the larger relative of the Austin A40 Somerset, the A70 Hereford, came with two-tone paint. All the Somersets I remember were in a single colour, usually beige, mid-grey or black, never metallic.

A very nice job especially the upgrades. If you don't mind me pointing it out, when the Somerset was in production, silver would not have been a common colour on UK cars. Grey would have been more likely. Having said that, it does look good.

Somerset Saloon to bardzo piękny model sam w sobie. Po tej renowacji... WOW 🤩
Srebrny z czarnym, trochę przypomina mi samochody z dwoma "R" w logo... 😉
Świetna robota Paul, zwłaszcza samodzielnie skonstruowane zawieszenie i realistycznie wyglądająca kratka. (Wisienką na torcie są "genialne" reflektory 🤩👍🏼)
Paul, jestem podekscytowany, wyraźnie oba kciuki w górę za to 👍🏼 👍🏼
Dzięki za udostępnienie 🙏🏼
Miłego tygodnia dla Ciebie i Twojej rodziny, bądźcie cali i zdrowi. Tak trzymaj, przyjacielu 😉

The Somerset Saloon is a very beautiful model in itself. After this restoration... WOW 🤩
Silver with black, kinda reminds me of the cars with the two "R" in the logo... 😉
Great work Paul, especially the self constructed suspension and the lifelike looking grille. (The icing on the cake are the "brilliant" headlights 🤩👍🏼)
Paul, I'm thrilled, clearly both thumbs up for this 👍🏼 👍🏼
Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼
Have a great week to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate 😉

Der Somerset Saloon ist schon an sich ein sehr schönes Modell. Nach dieser Restaurierung... WOW 🤩
Silber mit Schwarz, das erinnert mich irgendwie an die Autos mit den beiden "R" im Logo... 😉
Tolle Arbeit, Paul, vor allem die selbstkonstruierte Federung und der lebensecht wirkende Kühlergrill. (Das Tüpfelchen auf dem I sind die "brillanten" Scheinwerfer 🤩👍🏼)
Paul, ich bin begeistert, ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 👍🏼
Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼
Dir und Deiner Familie noch eine schöne Woche und bleibt gesund und munter. Mach weiter so, mein Freund 😉

otvory v plechovom závese sú elipsovité, boli vypílené smerom nahor a preto záves veľmi dobre pruží. S priateľským pozdravom
