"Shayne-bourne", but I won't fault you on it: it is difficult to pronounce.
I love how easy it is customise VW Beetles (though I could never drive one: mostly manual transmissions). Only qualm with restoring the VW Beetle models, in my experience: the plastic windows on the models made by Maisto are VERY brittle and don't take power drills well in trying to remove them (they crack easily).
Good daily drivers, though: reliable and built to be such.
Lol sorry mate 😂 I did try 😎. Thanks again for becoming a patron I truly appreciate it mate 👍🏼
my wife and i enjoy watching your videos since the very beginning, keep up the great work!
I love how the 1960 beetle turned out, the chrome on the bumpers and headlights just put it over the top.
Love The color of this awesome 1960 Volkwagen Beetle brings back the vibe of the 1960's Era peace out dude !
That VW Bug is Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful!!!! The paint, detailing and wheels are awesome!!!! My best friend rebuilt a 1956 VW Bug and the color of his is so very close to what you did!! Super Great Restoration, Rob!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
My older brother had this among his car collection and would never let me play with it. I love love love that engine detail. And you’ve managed to improve my memory and make a nicer car
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing during difficult times...
2 Poms, 2 bettles, 2 different concepts. Brilliant.
Love these older castings, Nice choice of wheels and paint. The interior added just the right touch, great job !
Another lovely project! Love everything about it: colour, details, added interior, wheels! All are excellent choices!
Hello Rob,what a impressive model,with the wheels are right and the paint plus the details it looks awesome,while John is sitting inside,👍
Nice job with the engine! That little chrome on the bumper really makes the resto look sweet!
Well what can I say other than another awesome transformation and restoration of an old vintage diecast model. Job well done Sir
Wow, the details you added really help make this little car pop, especially the engine. Perfect wheel choice, I’ll have to get me some Greenlight wheels when this is all over.
That is gorgeous, Rob! That custom color goes really well with the color of the windows! Well done you!
The wheels and colour looks true to that period of time. Nicely done 👍
Perfect again Rob. The wheels, paint and even thinking too bad it didn't have an interior, yet you thought of that. Great job.
Nicely done, sir. The color is sharp and the details on the engine are super. Looking good for the old bug.
As always a superb job on this little bug! The tealish turquoise suits it well, well done mate!!!
That's one Beetle I'd like to have in full size! Your detailing is top notch.
Love the way that color popped over the black primer. Would like this for my collection.
Showing your class again, Rob. Great resto'. Lovely colour and the wheels suit the car perfectly.
Yes Rob Not Over The Top, Just Perfect Is The Right Call!!! Thanks For A Squizz At That I Never Seen This Matchbox Before Either!!!
That's. One. Nice. Beetle. Very. Nice. Like. The. Wheels. Too. Yes. I. Do. Watch. Marty. All. The. Time. He. Is. On. Nice. Work. Brother. Lee
Oh my!! Stunning little Beetle.. love it...
Wow Rob, looks incredible.
The color and details make this one really pop!
Hard to go wrong with a Beatle. Good job as always!
You had me worried when you said you were going to do a custom on this great little beatle. I did watch the other video you mentioned and loved how that one turned out but yours I must say takes the cake as it looks fantastic. Those awesome Porsche like wheels, the color and and the subtle details all come together perfectly to make just the little beetle that I would put together in real life to bomb around town in. It looks great and I can see anyone wanting one of these. If your wife loved it before you had better look out cause she will fight you for it now!!! Thanks for the video, it was great as always, be well and take care.
You hit one out of the park on that restoration.
Outstanding job, the paint, wheels and the interior turned out fantastic 👍👍😊
In Black looks pretty cool the Volkswagen Beetle
Jeez Rob, you are knocking these restorations/customs out at an amazing rate. I was gonna say you keeping busy during lockdown but you said you working still!
Great job love the interior ..perfect fit don't keep us in the dark..we may want to do one like it!
Sweet mate, the little guy looks great in there.
looks great, the added details bits really sets it off.
All my real cars were VW's.
Another great job on this one.
Beautiful paint job Rob. I love the restoration.
Nice custom job! I like the paint color, the wheels and the interior.
Mate, seriously, this one is outrageously good... Hat tipped once again...
Great job and I remember my dad had a 69 and a 70 VW Beetles.
Matchbox Ressurection did one recently too, the third I have seen now in as many days....lol! Cool!
That is probably one of the most beautiful looking VW Beetles I've ever seen, great work!
Great result, and so many details for this little car.
Nice job with this restoration. That color looks great and those wheels really look good . It made me think about a VW repair shop that used to be one block over from where I grew up. They always had a lot of Volkswagen of all types parked in the lot.
Great job this car is beautiful. I respect your choice of wheels.
WOW! I already liked it as it came from Matchbox, as it depicts perfectly the original car, but looking at yours one can almost hear the engine pottering along :-)
Wow! You did a great job on this one. Love the details!👍
That turned out really nice,
I think that's one of your best efforts.
😎
Nice and subtle restoration Rob. Liking this one a lot. My favourite Moko Lesney early Matchbox
Great combination of primer and paint; looks period correct too.👌
I have always dreamed of owning a beetle! If I did ever get one, I would go crazy trying to decide what color to paint it! The color you came up with is absolutely beautiful! Very well done Rob!
Wow this turned out AMAZING! Well done!
Great job with the Volkswagen Bettle Awsome paint and wheels and tires cool thing with the driver inside. Next one please do the herbies Movie car thanks Rob
Great custom job Rob, really looks the part. 👍👍👍
My first car was a 64 beetle. Lots of fun.
Beautiful!! This may be favorite one so far!!
The bug is looking good! Nicely done! You should do the Herbie beetle on your next VW Beetle. Keep up the great work.
Awsome Rob Like thee interior and John ready to go rideing
I think this is a revised casting. I have one with the oval split rear window as well as one of these. I played with them a lot as a kid. They fit in the hand so nicely. I've recently got paint from both Wonderland Models, and Jumblies. Even without the lockdown, there are no longer any dedicated model shops in Ipswich, so everything has to be got from outside. I'd heartily recommend the two shops mentioned above. I have no affiliation to them, but they've never let me down.
Oh, my! Your custom is beautiful. The colour is brilliant, and yet understated. It's awesome.
Come on Brian you are one of the most knowledgeable. Any ideas on the interior
@@MatchboxGarage I was trying, and the only car I could think of with a driver without a hat, is the 1100 with the grut ole hound (as we would say in Suffolk) in the back, but the driver is on the wrong side. However, the Chevrolet Impala taxi, number 20? if memory serves, that has a hatless driver in the left hand seat. Am I close?
Love it. The Fuchs are a nice touch.
Brought this icon back to life 👍🏼used to love these cars as a kid my dad ended up owning a hand full of them
That turned out very nice! Love Volkswagen 's thank you
Rob you'r the best
i love everything about this restauration 👏🏻
Absolutely love this Rob by far my favourite model you’ve done. Maybe the fact it’s my all time favourite car if I win the lottery tomorrow I’d go buy a fleet of these. Great work.
You called him John, I would have called him Ringo. Super shiny car Rob.
Excellent custom Very Nice ILOVE VW Beetle 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely beatiful! The color is bang on target! 👍
I questioned it in the beginning, but that really turned out to be something pretty special!
color and wheels are beautiful, good choice of wheels and color congratulated you
These Fuchs rims normally are for the Porsche 911 models. Very often used on VW "Käfer" (the german term for beetle) but really expensive ones. You did a great job again. Thumb up !!!
Thats Fantastic. I love Orange Cars. But that is Great. 10/10
turned out great as always and the wheel are the right choice just like the Porsche ones
I do like original restorations but this one is very nice. Well don Rob
An EXCELLENT Custom VW!!.. All ready to cruise the city streets!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
I love me a good beetle glad you worked one one.
Really beautiful! Great paint job 👍
I’ve always had a fondness for these cars. I to grew up watching Herbie 🙂👍
Great job as usual 😎
Beautiful Beetle there 😀
Original colour was also nice, but this is even better.
Very well detailed engine and those wheels are perfect choice for custom-beetle 😎
Wow nice job as always love that colour looks absolutely amazing
Fantastic restoration and video you never disappoint
Looks great. Color is perfect
Really nice - loving that colour.
Great job! My brother Doug had one of these in the early 70s that was almost the exact same color. (My dad painted it) So I names the driver Doug. 😂
looks great, Marty's came out well too
Beautiful, those wheels are perfect!
Absolutely beautiful work mate
Wow. Thats one great looking VW! The color looks amazing on it. Through my paint research for building models. That looks like a 1965-66 General Motors color here in the State's. Artesian turquoise is the color name.
Great restoration work, well done.
Nice job on the small fine details as well..
Yeah really like this. Great JOB Rob.
Great job Rob. Looks fantastic. Love it
Always love a VW !! Was one of my childhood favorites. Thank you for the videos!
Wow, has to be your best yet, amazing
Love the EMPI style wheels Rob 🙂🚗
Another beautiful job Rob. I think I've said several times how much I love the Volkswagen bugs. Come on everyone hit that like button and share. I would love to win this one. Stay safe and healthy. Very nice.
I love beetles! My next car I want is a beetle!
Looks sort of like a Super Beetle now... John is going out for a drive on a sunny afternoon.
It might make an interesting video to do three identical cars in identical colors, but with different primers, to see how it affects the end result.
When I was in high school , it was fairly common to see VW Bugs customized by companies to suit the type of business. A local pest control place had VW Bugs painted as mice...that sort of thing.
Looks great. Metallic colors were a '60s thing..
Awesome job mate! I love true restos and I fully expected to hand Marty “a thousand internet points” for the unintended VW build-off!
To my surprise you take the 1K points today -
Fantastic custom with awesome detailing and a great choice of wheels! The quality of the paint job is absolutely second to none - As usual fingers crossed for the win!
Cheers
Not a chance it's coming to me .. even if we have to virtual arm wrestle for it !! 👍🏻🤓
very classy very good job on this
She's very beautiful , good job , i like 👍
You never disappoint ,great resto
