Mercedes Benz 230 SL Politoys No. 503 restoration. Diecast model toy.

This beautiful model premiered on May 5, 1965 in Italy. It was made by the Politoys company, which at that time had many very advanced cast models to its credit. In the video, you can turn on subtitles in your language with a commentary on the action. The classic Mercedes had everything openable, it was very carefully refined when it comes to details. My model lacked the front bumper and headlight trim, there were only frames. I managed to paint the model with the original Mercedes paint in the color in which the first version of this model was created. I was equipped with different bumpers, one of which exactly matched this model. I copied it, attaching the appropriate mount, and cast it from polyurethane resin. The weak element of this model were the wheels, mainly plastic rims. The plastic developed during play and the wheels did not work evenly. I drilled the holes for the axles and put on brass bushings to center the whole model. Of course, I made a copy of the original box in which this car was packed. Thank you for watching the video, I publish videos with car repair on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

God knows why Politoys put Spoked Wheels on this model. The thing is, they look great.
Good job in the restoration

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

This has become another beautiful restoration or revision Paul. Among other things, I think the revision of the rims is fantastic. In short, the model has undergone a great metamorphosis!

I've never seen or heard of Politoys before but it is a very nice model. Great details
Beautiful restoration, looks like new, probably better than new👍

Czy to jeszcze renowacja czy już całkowita przebudowa? 🤔
(Mały żart😉)
Świetna robota 👍🏼
Politoys były doskonałymi modelami i cudownie szczegółowymi. Prawie zaporowa cena dla "Małego Pawła" w tamtym czasie....
Die-cast crazy old Sparky dzisiaj, bardzo szczęśliwy, aby zobaczyć te perełki ponownie 👀🤩
Paweł, jestem zachwycona, zdecydowanie kciuki w górę ode mnie za ten 👍🏼
Dzięki za udostępnienie 🙏🏼
Miłego tygodnia dla ciebie i twojej rodziny i pozostań bezpieczny i zdrowy. Tak trzymać, przyjacielu 😃
Pozdrawiam z latarnianego końca Łaby.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Is this still a restoration or already a complete rebuild? 🤔
(Little joke😉)
A great job 👍🏼
Politoys were excellent models and wonderfully detailed. Almost prohibitively expensive for "Little Paul" at the time....
The die-cast crazy old Sparky, today, is very happy to see these gems again 👀🤩
Paul, I'm thrilled, definitely a thumbs up from me 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 😃
Greetings from the lighthouse end of the Elbe river.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Ist das noch eine Restaurierung oder schon ein kompletter Neuaufbau? 🤔
(Kleiner Scherz😉)
Eine tolle Arbeit 👍🏼
Politoys waren exzellente Modelle und wunderbar detailliert. Für den "Kleinen Paul" damals fast unerschwinglich...
Der Die-cast-verrückte alte Sparky heute, freut sich sehr, diese Schmuckstücke wiederzusehen 👀🤩
Paul, ich bin begeistert, von mir ganz klar ein 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 😃
Gruß vom Leuchtturmende der Elbe.

M series was one of the most innovative and succesfull for Italian Politoys in early 60s.. then it became the Export series in late 60s mid 70s but politoys adopted plastic wheels..

Politoys Glass N90 Mercedes Benz 230 SL NMIB rare Search Politoys Glass N-90 Mercedes Benz 230 SL. This is a beautiful Politoys casting of this great car. It is in 1/41 scale. The model is all original mint condition. The box is in ok condition with loose flap on one end and general crease and bends. I combine shipping for multiple item winners. I will ship items twice a week, once in the middle of the week and once on Saturday. Item are very carefully packed in brand new shipping boxes.

[@PaulRestorer]

Cool

[@volksfront9605]

Paul hat bei dieser Restaurierung mal wieder Hervorragendes geleistet! 👍
Das Modell von Politoys ist eigentlich ziemlich vorbildgetreu, was die Karosserie betrifft, die Felgen passen allerdings gar nicht. Außerdem sind die Räder im Durchmesser viel zu groß, daher wirkt der SL wie auf Stelzen. Aber es war ja damals nur als Kinderspielzeug gedacht. 🧒🚙🎠
