- There are 6 cars in the Dinky Toys series 38. I have all 6 for restoration. The Lagonda Tourer (38c) has been restored on an earlier video. These two beauties, the Frazer Nash (38a) and The Armstrong Siddeley Coupe (38e) are the subjects of this video. British sports cars from the 1940s

Had the Frazer Nash in my collection as a kid in the fifties. Always thought it looked cool. Never realised how old it was.
Two more yesteryear back to life. Great job.
Thanks again Edward - much appreciated ... David
Love the beauty and simplicity of these old castings. Well done!
Me too Dan - many thanks ... David
An OUTSTANDING restoration job on both of these!!.. Both of these look better than they did when they left the Dinky Factory !!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Thank you very much - glad you liked the finished result - struggled a bit with these ... David
IMO the struggle was worth it!
Two superb restorations David, back to their former glory. These Dinkies are just a wee bit before my time. I'm more accustomed to the 1960s models and haven't seen many of these older ones. Lovely, simple models but they still capture the handsome lines of these classic British cars. Looking forward to the rest of the set.👍
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
Hi Dougie, thanks again for your comments. They were a bit before my time too - but, as you say, their classic lines are very appealing 👍👍 ... David
Very nice restoration of two old classics David,
Thanks Martin, always appreciate comments from fellow restorers ... David
thank you David I really enjoyed your video and a bit of the history at the start looking for wood to seeing the rest.... take care Bill
Thanks Bill glad you enjoyed it. You are the first to comment on 'the bit of history' - thanks. I find it fascinating - trying not to go overboard with it though ... David
@@davidhyde4329 your very welcome David i enjoy the history would of loved to see the old factory before it was demolished
Great job David. I like how you preserve the bases. I do the same to my restorations unless they are particularly bad and really need painted. I do my bit to keep British sports cars alive as I drive a 1974 Triumph Tr6!
Thanks Ian, nice to hear you too preserve the age in the baseplate. Nice car, I liked particularly the Tr4 and 6 - true classics - I did have a Spitfire, but it's not in the same class ... David
Blimey David nailed again. I love the series 38. Well done mate.
Thanks Keith, much appreciated 👍👍 ... David
Lovely job David really enjoyed watching.👍
Glad you enjoyed it - appreciate the comment ... David
Fine work on each car. Even though there’s not much to each model, there’s certainly plenty to be done. Thanks for the video.
Thanks 👍 appreciate the comment ... David
These are fascinating castings :)
Indeed they are - love them 👍👍 ... David
I like how you keep the baseplates original and I have started doing this with my restorations,
Another nice video and restorations, good job bro ...... stay safe and keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do! appreciate the comment as always ❤ ... David
I like the look of the castings in primer as you can see just how well made they really were especially for that time period. Thanks David 👍👍
Thanks Jimmy - once they are in the primer stage they start to look good again 👌👌 ... David
I really like what you do with the base plates.
Thanks - I think, once cleaned and varnished, they look better than they do painted black 😊👍👍 ... David
Well done David they look great like your work Brian Thailand
Thanks Brian, appreciate the comment 👍 ... David
Both are beautiful examples of classic Dinky's. You did a great job on both. Thanks David
Glad you enjoyed it - really appreciate the comment ... David
Great job David.
Thanks again Vinny - much appreciated ... David
I love the Dinky 38 series and have a full set awaiting restoration...thank you for posting this David and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest. I'm sure that I'll learn a lot. Stay safe and all the best. 👍
My pleasure Derrick - glad you liked it and good luck with your set 😊👍👍 ... David
Nice Shiny Paint Jobs!
Thanks ... David
Some solid well detailed castings..
They are - thanks ... David
Once again a cracking job on these classic british sports cars david they live on again, a great video i look forward to part 2...onwards and upwards sir !
Thanks Paul, much appreciated ... David
looking great again, ready to explore the countryside. ^^ I'm fascinated that you keep on preserving the baseplates rather than repainting them. but yes, that silver coat deserved to stay in place. :)
side note, pleased to see you, sir. :)
Glad you like them. Appreciate the baseplate comment, thanks ... David
Cool, well done!
Thank you! much appreciated ... David
Cool
Thanks ... David
All with good bones as well..
Thanks again ... David
Another job well done. Can I just add that you shouldn't tear sandpaper (pet hate of mine) but cut it with scissors David?
Stay safe.
Many thanks. My god, I did not know there was a correct (accepted?) way to remove a scrap of sandpaper. In my efforts to get things right I will certainly use scissors in the future (and look forward to the 'don't blunt your scissors by cutting sandpaper with them' comment 😁😁😁) ... David
Hi David, thanks for sharing! Are any of the cars you restore the actual models from your youth? Despite all of the moves and various eras of my life, I still somehow stumble across items from childhood. How so many toys, including many diecast, are still around is a mystery to me. The latest was finding a Matchbox No 44 Rolls Royce that I received from a gift exchange in grade school. That must have been in '64. It is great fun to have shared the toys with my son, and now grandson. Your videos at times have reminded me of certain models, and then tearing the house apart looking for them!
Thanks again for your comments. Alas no - not a single one, but, it is great that a good many of them survived. Even the beat-up ones - why are they still around?? There seems to be a reluctance to throw these marvelous survivors in the garbage bin. Glad my videos have bought back memories😊😊👍👍 ... David
Great job! I have a question though, did you use a drill press orr the work station is a universal tool that you can fit any drill or dremmel in? I like it. Any idea where I could purchase a similar one? Thanks
Hi, many thanks, much appreciated. I have a drill press but I normally use the Dremel workstation - its smaller (obviously) but more convenient and versatile in my hobby room. There are plastic parts which makes it less of a 'precision' tool - but It suits the uses the levels needed for much of the hobby work I do. The drilling and buffing shots on this video were done with the work station. I have owned this for many years. At the time It did not fit all the Dremel drills available (can't remember why). You would have to check this out with your particular model. I have just done a quick search on ebay and they appear to still be available. Check through these to see if you can find your drill model mentioned. Buy from ebay or Google your nearest Dremel stockist . Thanks again, and good luck ... David
@@davidhyde4329 Thanks fir your feedback. I love your work and videos. High quality for sure. Cheers from Canada
Hi David can we expect a video soon?
Hi Barry - its been a tough year - big changes in my railway modelling. I have prepared my studio for videos. Will be posting an explanatory video very shortly. Thanks for your continued support.
