While I appreciate the authentic restorations I think I prefer when someone customizes a restoration to make it their own or to make it more accurate to a real vehicle (colors, etc). Great job!
"Snowball Fight Kills 6" is the best tabloid headline I've seen in your paint booth, yet. The pin helmet is incredible, for that scale. You'd never know it wasn't molded like that.
I love seeing how creative you can get when you're not constrained by the limitations of the original design. I like seeing a model look factory new, but it's fun to see the possibilities too.
One day I hope to find a peaceful place to get into this hobby. I've been buying old cars when I find them and stashing them away. Love the outcome of this one. Classic looking race car.
Forget the Oscars and Cannes mate, you surpass them all!!!! I restore matchbox myself, the thought of putting the extra time in to video and make them entertaining too and ending up with the results you do leaves me shaking in the cupboard under the stairs!!!! Keep doing what you’re doing Marty!🤓
Amazing! You always do amazing custom or restoration jobs on your diecast. You gave this beaten up Jag another fifty years of display life if not more.
Marty, I really wanted to thank you for your content. It may sound silly but your videos were the only thing I looked forward to after my miscarriage in January. It may seem insignificant to some, but watching your videos brought me so much joy in such a dark time. Thank you so much.
I've watch most of your redos. You truely are Master Marty Of Matchbox Makeovers.This is my alltime favourite with the British Racing Green and Union Jack. If it had been a 69 Mini ,I would have been speachless. A small dab of JB Weld on that back rivet post would have fixed it right up for drilling and tapping. Keep on with these most excellent and humourous postings.Glad to have found your videos.
Kevin mowing!!! lmao 69! Yeah we all know why that’s your favorite number. 😎 That model turned out amazing! Love what you did with The interior and stickers.
A real beauty! A great day for E-Types! You did one. Timerider did one. Both are beautiful. It is one of the few cars that can actually be termed 'Iconic'. And none more so when painted British Racing Green. The Union Flag on the roof is the icing on the cake.
Really enjoy your restorations, they’re perfect to watch whilst eating breakfast on a Sunday morning. Thank you from the UK 🇬🇧 😊 Although I am surprised, given your usual attention to detail, that you didn’t buff out or fill the dent above the front grill on the bonnet in this one
Good evening, sir. Your videos are always a highlight whenever one goes up! Amazing how you pull off some of these restorations. I truly thought that windshield was beyond salvaging when the brake fluid failed to affect it much. Thanks again!
I love the creative narratives of your makeovers, as well as your astute editing skills. This outtake with Kevin is hilarious! Also love the bloopers at the ending. They show the sweatiness behind the genius. I used to have many Matchbox cars. They are long gone. The most favorite of mine is the Snow Trac with embossed lettering (not the one with the decals as shown on your Snow Trac video). I was into hot rods, but the Snow Trac was very different. When I saw your Snow Trac makeover, I was transported to my childhood years. Made me wish I took care of it better along with my other 60's era Matchbox cars. Oh well, such is life. Your work is magica! Thank you kind, Sir!
Thanks Virgil for taking the time to type this amazing post! It gives me a thrill to know that I have brought back some childhood memories to people such as yourself! - All the best Marty.
Great job! One of my favorite memories was an owner allowing me to sit behind the wheel of his racing green E-type Jaguar many years ago. He was nice enough to let me after I truthfully told him it was my favorite model ever. The green on your model seems a it brighter than my memory of the green on the car, but memories fade. Awesome job on the screen and tires! Loved the decals as well. And I'm sure you like the number 69 only because it is your house number -- sure we do.
Looks good Marty, ever thought of using crossed flags on the bonnet as on front ofcorgi aston 309 car. Why not put windscreen in the pine disinfectant to remove red paint?
Fantastic job on the jaguar! And don't be to harsh with Kevin. After all he is just getting his groove on! Love the make overs. Thanks for sharing them.
Hi Marty, loved the end of your video,lol,what a fantastic job you did with custome made Jaguar you really court the 1960s race seen very well keep up great work.
Top job Marty! A former boss I worked for had a convertible E type in British Racing Green with tan seats and black mats/door trims, always liked that colour combo.
My brothers an engineer of 42yrs and is constantly making things, miniature engines, motorised garden displays etc. I told him these vids had inspired me to think of repairing/restoring etc. At school I was fairly proficient at the engineering class, but I asked him if it was a necessity to tap as I thought the screws may self tap. He agreed they would/could, but being the engineer he is, told me that no matter what he personally would tap......he can't do any job without doing even the unseen things correctly lol.
Great work once again, the British Racing Green, is superb. Neat trick with the rims, first time I remember ever seeing you not take the axels off. But paint work came out really well.
Kevin was spanking his monkey! LMAO
That's what happens when you don't bring him weed.

No he was choking his chicken.

Nah, he was lopin’ his donkey

While I appreciate the authentic restorations I think I prefer when someone customizes a restoration to make it their own or to make it more accurate to a real vehicle (colors, etc). Great job!
In 50 yrs time can you see folk doing restorations of die cast e-cars?? I can't!! Top job, great little car👍
"Snowball Fight Kills 6" is the best tabloid headline I've seen in your paint booth, yet. The pin helmet is incredible, for that scale. You'd never know it wasn't molded like that.
I love seeing how creative you can get when you're not constrained by the limitations of the original design. I like seeing a model look factory new, but it's fun to see the possibilities too.
The pilot carrying the helmet turned out GREAT, it was such a creative idea to use a pin head!!!
One day I hope to find a peaceful place to get into this hobby. I've been buying old cars when I find them and stashing them away. Love the outcome of this one. Classic looking race car.
One of the best channels on TH-cam 💯👍🏻
Leyland Job agreed
Really loved how you played with colors and decals on the exterior and interior. Turned out fantastic.
Forget the Oscars and Cannes mate, you surpass them all!!!! I restore matchbox myself, the thought of putting the extra time in to video and make them entertaining too and ending up with the results you do leaves me shaking in the cupboard under the stairs!!!! Keep doing what you’re doing Marty!🤓
Amazing! You always do amazing custom or restoration jobs on your diecast. You gave this beaten up Jag another fifty years of display life if not more.
Marty its the gift that keeps on giving! As a UK citizen an E Type in British racing green with a union flag is priceless! Thank you.
And timeless
Superb makeover!!! The Jaguar E Type is my favourite car. Love the helmet!
Marty, I really wanted to thank you for your content. It may sound silly but your videos were the only thing I looked forward to after my miscarriage in January. It may seem insignificant to some, but watching your videos brought me so much joy in such a dark time. Thank you so much.
So glad that I have helped you through your grief, it means so much to me how you have been touched by my channel!!
Another well done make-over! Great, classic choices for color and decals!!!
If it's Saturday morning here in Texas, it's time for another Marty's Matchbox Makeover and another incredible repair job. Well done sir!
One of my favorite cars, both in real world and models. Well done. Another fine project.
So look forward every week to you bringing back to life neglected old matchboxes , brings back childhood memories great stuff all the best from nz

The best restoration video so far. It turned out amazing 🤠👍. Greetings from Arizona, USA
Enjoy watching your makeovers.
Kevin is awesome , and that Jaguar painted in green looks perfect, thanks Marty !!
Brilliant work Marty, the final result looks exceptional.
The car turned out awesome Marty, and its Kevin's lucky day I see you brought him some grass... A whole yard of it!
I love to watch your restoration videos to fall asleep. They are perfect for my afternoon naps. Cheers!
one of your fans from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thank you for creating such awesome content.
Kevin is as lazy as me 😂
*Naya Pakistan
I actually just got to see one of these in real life today. I love the way this one came out!
I love having my coffee with Marty on Saturday☕️
Rosemary Magrino innit I was sipping a mocha lovely
Im doing exactly that right now
That E type Jaguar turned out beautiful! Happy to see that you were able to finally get Kevin to do some chores!!!!
Kevin mowing!!! lmao
69! Yeah we all know why that’s your favorite number. 😎
That model turned out amazing! Love what you did with The interior and stickers.
When you crash and land upside down, it still reads 69.
A real beauty! A great day for E-Types! You did one. Timerider did one. Both are beautiful. It is one of the few cars that can actually be termed 'Iconic'. And none more so when painted British Racing Green. The Union Flag on the roof is the icing on the cake.
Another cool casting restoration
You are amazing dear Marty! Simply great job!
Really enjoy your restorations, they’re perfect to watch whilst eating breakfast on a Sunday morning. Thank you from the UK 🇬🇧 😊 Although I am surprised, given your usual attention to detail, that you didn’t buff out or fill the dent above the front grill on the bonnet in this one
You usually don't customize the models, but I think this jag looks outstanding! Cheers
Lovely makeover! You really transformed it, and it certainly looks like a proper E-Type.
It's about time Kevin earned his keep. Marty, I think you must be a genius. The more you do the better they get.

Great video. My son and I love watching each new one.
“Unless you brought weed” 😂
What would a koala bear need with marijuana anyway
Sidney Green koala party time of course
Great job on the Jaguar E type, Marty. 🦘🧔🇭🇲👍😁
You always have the most interesting newspaper in your spray booth 😂
Love seeing the Matchbox cars, bring back memories of the ones I had. You do good work!
Brass wool is good for cleaning the tip of your soldering iron after use too. Great tip on masking tape bleed also.
I really enjoy your videos Marty! Thanks for sharing!
Marty- I'd love to see you do more towards detailing/painting the interior pieces (seats/steering wheels etc). on future makeovers!
Very nice restore. My favorite part is the windshield restoration. Great job looks brand new.
British racing green the only colour for the jaguar e type
Red is a close second :) but nothing else
I think my brothers TR6 was that green color.
I love what Rob did to this car on his channel ( Matchbox Garage )a couple months back. A definite keeper!
Good evening, sir. Your videos are always a highlight whenever one goes up! Amazing how you pull off some of these restorations. I truly thought that windshield was beyond salvaging when the brake fluid failed to affect it much. Thanks again!
Been a while since I've watched one of your videos. Happy to see you're at nearly 100k subscribers!
Keep up the fantastic work, mate!

use BRASSO metal polish on you acrylic windows, I'm a watchmaker and we use this to take off fine scratches and polish acrylic watch glasses
Really like the customization, please do it more often.
That transparency came up a beaut’. 👊👍🏻
Can't stop watching! Thanks for the laughs Marty! Keep up the excellent work!
Kevin being grounded it looks like and has to cut the grass.
The Jaguar Custom Job look nice!
Great job on the E-type! One of my favorite cars.
Great ending, Marty. Thanks for the Saturday morning laugh.
Absolutely magnificent car Marty you did a smashing job
The opening about killed me."Keep out unless you brought weed". Classic... Thanks for the laugh and for your great videos, from San Diego CA USA...:)
Well done. Always enjoy your creativity. Keep it up.
When you walked in on Kevin I laughed so hard I peed myself !
Sure it wasn't an orgasim?
Kevin is a riot.
Nice job Marty!
Kevin is a naughty boy!!
Those stilts though
Nice work Marty! The Jag looks great and I loved the opening scene!
Nice car🙂
Sounds like you are fighting a cold or something, hope that you have a rest.

Thanks for the upload Marty. Looking good, much better with the added detail. Love your added figures, the sitting figure looks a little like you.
Don't like this. I LOVE it. The intro and outro were hilarious. As for the E Type.....better than Matchbox ever did it. What a great channel. Top man.
Thanks Sean, you sound like a fan! - I need plenty more of you please!
Fantastic job on the jaguar! And don't be to harsh with Kevin. After all he is just getting his groove on! Love the make overs. Thanks for sharing them.
kevin mowing the lawn so he get another bag of weed ;0)
Beautiful job bringing this E Type back to life. Fit for any track. Good stuff.
Didn't you put the decal 69 on upside down?
YES, even the house number has been installed up side down
Marty, this is one of my most favorite castings. You more than did it justice. You blew it out of the water! Awesome job!
Nice custom job mate. Oh that's why 69 is your Fav number
Cracking save on this one. It's brilliant and I love the interior paint too.
Thanks Angus I appreciate your comment!
If Kevin got her pregnant, what would the baby look like?
Always impressed with the before and after. Fantastic !
You're funny. Don't be perverted. Kids probably watch your videos.
Your kid shouldn't be watching youtube videos unsupervised.
This has probably been on of my favorite models by far😊
Hi Marty, loved the end of your video,lol,what a fantastic job you did with custome made Jaguar you really court the 1960s race seen very well keep up great work.
Amazed the windscreen came out like it did!
Another magnificent project. Would love to see your duplicate vehicles fitted with drivers or families 👍
You are endlessly inventive Marty. Love the Kevin-cam at the end too.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Absolutely beautiful.
Loved the shot of Kevin mowing the lawn!
Awesome job with the customisation Marty. Very enjoyable to watch you apply some creativity to the build. Looking forward to more like that!
I really loved this episode. Especially loved seeing the added details! Thanks Marty!
You are welcome Pauly7218, I'm pleased that you liked it.
Does someone else read the news papers in Marty's painting booth??? Mostly they're so hilarious!!! Can't get enough of them 😂😂😂 !!!
Thanks fer your hard work Mr. Makeovers, You have talent !!!, also Mrs. Makeovers on the camera ****.
Top job Marty! A former boss I worked for had a convertible E type in British Racing Green with tan seats and black mats/door trims, always liked that colour combo.
I can just picture that and imagine that it looked great!
My brothers an engineer of 42yrs and is constantly making things, miniature engines, motorised garden displays etc. I told him these vids had inspired me to think of repairing/restoring etc. At school I was fairly proficient at the engineering class, but I asked him if it was a necessity to tap as I thought the screws may self tap. He agreed they would/could, but being the engineer he is, told me that no matter what he personally would tap......he can't do any job without doing even the unseen things correctly lol.
Another amazing restoration and I love the customisation additions. I hope Kevin did a good job of the mowing the lazy little bugger.. lol
Marty, this is a thoroughly fabulous custom makeover. Work you should definitely be proud of.
Thanks for your kind comment Bryan!
Excellent job, way better than the original, I too am happy with that.
That Jag ine of my all-time favourites. I had the opportunity of riding one as a kid and I just love it.
Great work once again, the British Racing Green, is superb. Neat trick with the rims, first time I remember ever seeing you not take the axels off. But paint work came out really well.
This E-Type Jag went from jagged to razor sharp! Great work as always.
Genius! Fantastic job!!
I just wish Kevin did his chores.
You are a wonderful artist, thanks for showing all your techniques!
Marty : This is an excellent custom Jaguar Thanks of all the detailed narrative. Your the Best!
Thanks Bob, glad you like it.
