Stunning, a tribute to the original collector you have done him proud.
Love the way you pay tribute to the older generations of diecast vehicles.
Great job of matching the paint!! It resembles some of the American cars from the late 40's and early 50's! Beautiful!! 👍👍👍
You Can See yourself In the reflection Of this so well Painted Beautiful Old Vangaurd Car!!! So Well Done Mate!!!
The original wheels and tires give that little bit of uniqueness, I really like it.
Fabulous vanguard phase 1 my mates dad had one in 1952 column gears and a full six seater drove like a dream came in black modelled on USA car the spats covering the rear wheels came off for wheel changes lovely job for a gracious old lady
Lovely restoration Job. My dad took his RAF driving test on one of these so it certainly brings back memories of my childhood. If I remember correctly Vauxhall had a similar shape body and someone around here is still driving one. Fantastic cars and built like a tank to last a lifetime. Enjoyed the video.
As 1960's baby I can still remember the real cars on the road. Never had this particular model from dinky but absolutely love them. Nice work on the resto
Silky smooth restoration Rob. Good job!
Thanks Rob Original No over kill just as it should be 👍👍👍 I hope Jannets Husband would approve
Rob nice job. Glad you kept the wheels original, I bet Janey appreciated that.
Being a Dinky man rather than Matchbox, I can really appreciate this right up my street. Beautiful job mate.
Lovely job. And such a nice tribute to the original owner
Love these old Dinkys Rob, considering the age of them they are simply beautiful castings and you've done that one proud. Good job and I'm glad you kept the original tyres.
Absolutely beautiful model. Great job on the restoration.
Definitely the right decision. Love the Vangard.
You have found the paint of the tim of the build of this vintage and marvellous car. Congratulations.
Exquisite. Love that it was respected and giving it a new coat of paint.
Old enough to remember these Vanguards on the road...love that front end....good job..
Hi rob wow that's an old casting my brother had the real car of one of these in the 60s it was black. It was his first car in Australia. We came from West ham and moved to Aus in 64 I was 4 on the ship on the way out.Excellent job as always and the colour looks aurthentic for that time.
It reminds me of a 40's Ford. Great looking little car.
Nice job. Love you kept the wheels original 👍🏼
An excellent restoration Rob, and nicely faithful to the original. Well done.
Another great job Rob you did just enough to make it look great and respect it’s life. My granddad had a Standard Vanguard I remember it was his last car also before BL it was Standard Triumph and the Vanguard was to be replaced by the Triumph 2000 great job Rob 👍👍👍👍
Excellent decision on the wheels & tires..nice restoration~
Customs are great, but restos are still my favorite!
Yes... I like that you left the "patinia" on the wheels great job dude !
It looks fantastic! The wheels look great and the shine really makes them pop.
Excellent restoration Standard Vangaurd 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Indeed very nice restore. Good color match on the original wheels and tires.
What a lovely resto. I love the respect you gave this one.
Good old standard 40's/50's sedan, plain jane, maybe Army Brown, staff car. Nice work on this one.
You're like the Mr. Rogers of the diecast world. I love your videos!! lol
Matchbox, Dinky, Tonka, anything... Your hands are magic!
Another original Dinky bites the dust.
Lovely restoration, Rob. I love those old, basic Dinky cars. There is a charm to them that no other toy make has. That beige/brown colour was a favourite of Dinky - I have a station wagon in exactly that colour. The usual colour for the Vanguard, an immediate post war vehicle (1947), was black, due to post war shortages. I have a 1/76 scale model of one in RAF blue - they were used as staff vehicles, and it's an attractive look. But leaving your model it as it would have looked when new, was the right choice; it's simple, understated, and quite lovely. Nice one.
Thanks mate 😎
A lovely job.simple but classy,👍
Turned out great! Really like the tires.
Great restore. Beautiful car. Love how simple that era is. Great job.
Great job as usual, the paint turned out lovely.
What a beauty, these Dinkys are piece of art, simple beautiful cars 🙂
Unfortunatunely i don't have any original Dinky cars, only lots of Editions Atlas Dinky replicas, which are also cool models.
Awesome restoration it turned out really nice 👍👍😊
I love those old style 1930’s 1940’s car designs.
Excellent job done matey, great looking model. 👍👍
Another great restoration, thank you for sharing
Excellent video I can relate to this as my grandfather had a Vanguard 👍
This is a wonderful restoration! I hope it hits 2,000 likes. Am close to groveling to get this one! 🤣
Beautiful work, I’ve never seen one of those models.
This may be my favorite of those you have done. Nice job!
Wow that such great looking ride. Great restoration
Great job. Can remember my uncle let me Take this one out of the box on a Sunday as treat once. loved the simplicity of the Earl dinky tos
Great restoration!! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome restoration to the Vangaurd. Love the video. Great detail.
Very interesting casting. I like it
So lovely. A true classic
It's really amazing to see how similar cars of the time were, just like nowadays. This Vanguard could almost be a Nash 'airflyte', or a Peugeot 203. Love your videos by the way, it really gives me inspiration to start working on my own Matchboxes.
I have that same car and it’s one of my favorites but I painted mine an aqua-light blue color with dark blue wheels and it turned out really nice.
hi rob there is nothing standard about this vanguard anymore nice work sir and a great colour match considering the age of the car nice to see a traditional skilled restoration just wish we could see you on camera as well as the models.
IT IS A BEAUTY !!!!!!
Hi Rob...looks fantastic and I like the fact that you didn't over restore it and kept the wheels original as a nod to it's original condition. The bases on these older Dinky toys weren't painted...they were "cold blued". It is a bit more expensive than painting but a small bottle will last forever. It just needs the old " blue" taking off with a rotary tool and a little bit of the bluing solution painting on. The result is amazing and looks authentic. Hope you restore some more of the models from the same era, they are well worth the effort.
I looked at some pictures and they seemed painted in some pictures and unpainted in others.
Nice transformation!!!!!
Rob you should give this car back to Janet as a gift since it was your first one of the lot or may have her pick one of her favorites to restore
Rob: All my respect to the respect you treated this old model, that's the kind of things that makes you not only a great restorer but an special toy's soul preservator. Great job 👍
Awesome restoration on this one. I'm sure the person who you bought these from was happy to see one of her husband's childhood toys turn out so nice.
Beautiful restoration!
Nice work rob , this is my cup of tea , great finish.
Awesome, love the older cars!
Great job thakn you for bringing it back to life
Beautiful job as always.
