Very nice.I have one from ~ 1974.I played with it first at my holiday with my parents at Sylt/Germany ,the same time.
Later , at ~ 2005 I bought one at ebay .
Bob , you are very wanted mate ! It’s people like you that make England the greatest place on earth ! Keep up the good work .
Liam O'Leary blimey mate that’s a big compliment 👍😀
It"s great seeing these old cars saved from the bin. Fantastic craftsmanship to the highest degree, I had done loads of these and now, I have the bug again lol, need to have a dig about in my shed 😀I used to like doing the Bond cars too thanks for sharing,
Bob, George Barris the creator of the batmobile would have been proud & impressed with your abilities with the junk yard bat in miniature 👍 as the ole boy says “ good show”, take care Bob.
Quality. I am amazed more people are not following you. You really are an excellent teacher, this helps many of us who are collector restorers and customisers. Thanks so much
bob fellows Hi mate, yeah me too? Still I don’t really want to be too famous 🤩 Ha, Ha 👍
Wow Bob, you have the biggest resource box ever. I dream of spares like this. Lucky fella. Cheers.
Almost an hour of interesting video. Nice and quiet, but very instructive. Almost like therapy to watch in this fast world, where too many people take too little time for anything. I had put my wide-wheels Batmobile, bought in the early eighties and still looking brand-new next to my iPad. Thanks, Bob, I really enjoyed it! (and, YES, I subscribed!)
Kobus Kriebel you’re welcome 😊 thanks for the kind words and for your subscription 👍
Wow, that is a fast reaction! 👍🙂 I was just watching your white wedding batmobile.... very funny!
HOLY REASSEMBALY BATMAN superb attention to detail yet again you are truly the caped crusader of diecast makeovers there looks a lot of spares in your man/ bat cave more please.
Just finished mine this morning used this video as a guide to refurbish, loved your technique for the screen ,thanks
Top stuff Bob! ....from spare parts into a piece of art that was a cracking restoration job mate...thanks for the tinted window trick👍
A master! I tip my stetson to you! Keep up the Batmobiles! I watch your videos twice. 1st as a novice, learning from the best.
Second i punch in TH-cam closed captions.
Lol it has no clue to what your saying, and is a hoot to watch!
Example, you” I’d rest it on something...” TH-cam CC “Rhonda”. Lol
Another beautiful save, Bob! This goes to show patience is the key.
That's an awesome restoration Bob, you got a lot of patients , l would've ejected the model through a window by now . Looks great BatTastic 👍
Bloody impressive with that windshield..this was great I luv the original Bat Mobile..it was the Betty Paige of cars..Great Job..
Awesome as usual,well done Bob.
Brilliant! Love your work.
Well done. That was a ton of fun to watch
Great vid and sweet Batmobile!!!
Wow,I really enjoyed watching this and your other corgi batmobile restorations....excellent work..
Great restoration as usual Bob thumbs up across the board.
Now thats what i call recycling. Great job Bob keep them coming.
Really beautiful Job , mate
Well done Bob
Great job. congratulations Bob
Real nice work of art
nice job again bob, it was good how you done windscreen keep them coming bob
Hi Bob, we have recently received one of these vehicles in the "Mid Life Models" workshop. Having sourced a supplier for replacements parts we have informed our client, who we shall refer to as "Mr Juice Cain", that the cost of parts would be £35. He said "That's fine I'm a billionaire". We have since requested a deposit!.....Great job on yours as always M8, Stay Safe....PJ
Great job Bob only, I can't consider working so hard and doing a work so complete for a versions without gold/red hubs with Bat logo. I have chosen my auction with a whole red lamp because I supposed that rebuild it would have been a challenge. Well done!
Brilliant video Bob. Stumbled across your channel. Can’t wait to go through the rest of your vids 👍🏻
The English diecast Hunter thanks mate, hope you enjoy them , the early ones aren’t very good quality as I didn’t have a very good camera and never made videos before but hopefully I’m getting better at it.
Am glad you subscribed so thanks for that and welcome to the channel, trying to get to the 1K mark now ! 👍😄
Fantastic job Bob
I have used that method on my latest model windscreen. Only difference is I used blue paint added to the floor shine. Came out nice.
Diecast Garage Hi mate, well I never thought of that, thanks for the info buddy I’ll try that in the future sometime.
Was it just ordinary Humbrol paint you used?
Very awesome, love the 60’s Batmobile 🔥🤘🏻
Only from Corgi.CORGI TOYS IS ART!!!
Hey Bob. Great scrap box Batman. No wonder I can't find any here in Aus' You've got them all. Wow I'm still looking for one. Awesome job. Cheer's John
Nice restoration Bob, by the way watching a previous video you mention straws for masking the Dinky/Corgi alloy wheels that you got from Australia. Well I found them in the U.K. in a Dunelm shop. They were in the baking section, they are used to support multi tier cakes apparently.
Alan Harvey thanks for the tip
Your welcome Bob.
A lovely job
Another bloody lovely job, and one of my personal top five favorite models!
I've been meaning to get going on my Bat Mobiles, I have five or six of them disassembled and I also have one first year model in original condition, not mint but pretty close!
You've inspired me to get cracking Bob! :)
I don't know how many people are aware, I'm certain you know Bob, but when George Barris got the call from Corgi asking if they could reproduce the Batmobile, he was thrilled, as were Corgi knowing they landed a huge deal which would become one of Corgi's all time best sellers and biggest money makers!
They produced nearly 4 MILLION of them from 1966 to 1983!!
So when they showed up to take photos and measurements, the car hadn't been clear coated. The good folks at Corgi assumed the car was matt black and a very few mat black Corgi Bat Mobiles in 1/24 scale actually went on the market!
These are the Holy Grail of the first run Corgi Batmobiles!! I've seen a couple however, it's one thing to claim you have one, and another to prove it!
The last one I recall seeing up for sale got over 1,200 pounds which today would be close to $2,000 Canadian! OUCH!!
Here's a couple of 1/64 Corgi Bat Mobiles I customized Bob, and there might even be a wee Rainbow Trout I caught when I was in my 30's I'm 57 on Friday...shhh don't tell! :)
Click this link Bob, I just threw some shots on here for you to have a look.

Take care brother, you do awesome work! I always learn something from you Bob, so thank you for that!

Hi Jack thanks, looked at your Bats and yeah nice paint jobs, just to say you can get my email on my about page of the channel but you need to access it using a pc👍
@@BobWilliscorgi
Hey Bob, I'll definitely grab your e-mail Bob, I always love making new friends, especially those who are as experienced and skilled as you are with my favorite hobby!
Those two Batmobiles disappeared shortly after I painted them when we moved from a rented townhouse into the house we built down the street from Lake Simcoe.
I brought well over 500 die cast with that move and these two little Batmobiles were the only cars missing, which only makes the mystery more...mysterious!! LOL!
I had planed on detailing them - the pink one was getting white detail pin striping lines with yellow/orange head lights and the green was gonna have either black pin striping with orange/red lights, or orange/red striping, as the original TV car had, with yellow/orange lights.
Not sure where they went. I picked up a couple more off E-Pay and as I stated, you've really inspired me Bob. I have the two 1/65 scale, and five or six 1/24 scale that I disassembled years ago in preparation to restore four and customize at least one of them.
I'll shoot you an email over the next few days Bob, then we can correspond,
Take care!

Hi Bob, great resto job on the Batmobile , Alfred , and the dynamic duo would be very pleased , you have a hell of a lot of spares. All the best Rob.
Awesome job man, I'm just bidding on one of these atm. That windscreen came out great 👍 I love how batman looks lool.
turned out great!!!
Very nice!
Excellent rebuild nice tip regarding the bluing of the screen part and i can see the need for the bat stand when reassembling AWAIT YOUR NEXT VIDEO good hunting for models ........Well done Bob
Nice Job .
Well done
Nice job
great job!
That was quite a puzzle. Great video Bob, I really enjoyed watching. Gotham City will be safe once again.
Came out looking good Bob .did everything work Brian Thailand
Brian Stothers Hi mate thanks, yes of course 😄 I should’ve shown it really at the end but totally forgot , I might put it in at the start of another video just for you 😉👍
I am doing one at the moment, hope its as nice as yours, I am tempted to leave it unpainted but for my first I shall paint it.
love it
this is brilliant, thanks so much :-)
Glad it was helpful!
thanks
first time watching the tint method is amazing will try this myself. brilliant content thanks for sharing.
Really Bob...considering what bits you started with...the end product is AMAZING!!!!
It's VERY INTERESTING watching you turn scraps of garbage into gold.
...kinda' like watching Picasso or Rembrandt work simple paints to masterpieces :- ))
Kindest regards, Ben
Now we no who's got all the barman spares ha ha , nice work bob turned out great .
All the best.
martin dare Ha, Ha, don’t you mean Batman? not barman. Mind you I could do with a barman to look after my cider 😄
@@BobWilliscorgi ha ha bob I buggerd that up .
Now collecting batmobiles, not into restoration but I live the originals however they are very expensive.
D A N K Y yes your not wrong there mate!
Bob Willis yeah there is a video of one of my bats on my TH-cam Channel
Looks great Bob ,love watching your videos, nice tip with the blue screen never thought of adding blue printer ink to the floor polish. I will have to try that one myself when I get round to doing my cars again. Cheers John..
You can use food colouring in the Pledge as well
Who da man!
You da man!!!!!!
Shame given a repaint you didn't take the opportunity to add the orange trims and silver up the front grills, been wanting a resto on a 267 for a while now so thanks for that
Old Skool Fool Hi mate, I wanted to restore it to the original corgi widewheeler model, but I’ve had a couple of subscribers asking me about doing the pin striping so I may in a future video just show the process of how I go about doing it. I have done one before as you can see in my custom Batmobile video so I expect I’ll just get a Batmobile bodyshell painted up to just do a video on the striping 👍
@@BobWilliscorgi I'll look forward to that pal, appreciate the reply, I'm under no illusions though, to do it real justice means waterslide decals and on that scale is a HUGELY difficult and frustrating process, I watched a guy doing that on a much larger scale model and even then it was a trial to do neatly, just have a punchbag and a bottle of Jamesons nearby lol, regards
Bueno,un fuerte abrazo ,saludoay
Omar Eduardo Olivera , Gracias amigo, muy apreciado 👍
Hi,,, Bob have a good time, lm follow with atention your video thogheter with my mother,,, let me share that l have a model Batmobile in a versión Monster Car,,, it have great weells and look so good in Black color,,, l restored the weells,,, realy fun time,,, thanks for your atention for the fans your friend Oscar de Pachuca HGo Estados Unidos Mexicanos,,,
they ought to call you 'Batmobile Bob',on account of you rather large collection of ckd'd (completely knocked down,or disassembled) batmobile's. i have two,one with the cast wheels with the red bat logo on,and the other is for spares.top job though,bob.
Your always wanted Bob
Great video!!
Don't you go to boot fairs!!!
Keep the good work up
Garry Hills yes mate am waiting for next one to come up 👍
Turned out great Bob
Wow just amazing job I have 2 corgi Batmoblie’s that need restoration very bad where would I send them for restoration 🍻
Mark Beckett Hi mate, that’s why I do these videos bud so you can have a go yourself 👍
Hi Bob
Could you tell me what paint you used for the chrome pieces.
Molotow paint pen mate!
Have you ever heard of the 'Country & Western' singer Bob Willis? We have a crusty old cassette of his...
Hi there great job but can you tell me if is hard to find the orange bullets that fire out of the little crime pipes on the back? Thanks again buddie.
Not really buddy, model supplies sell numerous reproduction items like that too 👍
@@BobWilliscorgi ok thanks. Love your work buddie.👍
Perfect, yet the headlights are yellow and fill the full space.
Some of these had Red headlights , check out the Official Batmobile website .
So you just glue the rivots in place?
👍
What did you use to mix the blue ink with?
I used the pledge revive it floorshine, the same solution I use to give a nice shine to old screens.
Hey Bob. Another great video mate. What's the difference between the Wizzwheels version and the original Corgi one (that I know)?
The original older version has extended fin tips and bat emblems on the wheels, also the flame moves in and out when you push it along but the later whizzwheels version doesn’t.
@@BobWilliscorgi nice one Bob. Excuse me for all the questions. I'm new to this. I always loved the old Dinky and Corgi toys as a kid, but now I'm older I'm starting to take an interest again. Keep up the good work mate.
Hi Bob....fantastic restoration as always....never had the Whizz Wheels version as I had the 267 as a kid. Which website do you get the Aussie windscreens from? I know you said in an early video that the Aussie ones are better than those from the UK.
Derrick Roe Hi mate, the site is called reprohobby.com
@@BobWilliscorgi Cheers Bob, I'll look into them.
What is in the 'pledge solution' that you use to tint the screen?
All I used was inkjet printer ink, 👍
Pledge floor Restore and blue ink...well I never....
Hi Bob great work on this model, i would like to know if you supply the parts for this Batmobile as im just restoring this car but need the parts, like the batman and robin, Ariel and wheels , thanks
Supplier in the description mate 👍
@@BobWilliscorgi ok thanks
🐶🙂❤❤👍👋👋
Man I got a lifetime of stuff I need to restore maybe we could do a little swapping
🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐👍👍
Hola amigo ,me gustaría comprarte este Batimóvil,soy de Argentina
Lo siento amigo, se lo he regalado a uno de mis nietos
how much does a restoration like this cost
Each one is different Jeff, depends on what parts are needed to bring it back. The screen is the most expensive part to replace 😏
@@BobWilliscorgi ok so hoe much was it to do this particular one then roughly
Great work, are alle the spare Parts original or replicas? Do you take Commission, Restore my Personal batmobile. Best Regards from Germany
Sorry no commissions, some parts are original and some reproduction . Try restoring you're Batmobile yourself !
That's why I make these videos, to help people like yourself to do your own .
Great Job.........On your next project where you need to tint a window is to add some food coloring to liquid floor polish.
BennyCFD Thanks bud I never thought of that, good idea mate 👍
Bob, it appears you're the reason people can't get their hands on a Corgi Batmobile. You have them all in a little box torn down and ready for repair.
I was hoping since this was a junkyard Batmobile that you would add the red lines from the real one on the tv show.
John Parisi Ha, Ha, nice one mate 👍 yeah perhaps in the future I could do another one and just concentrate on showing the striping process.
so all you build is batmolble
Nice one Bat Bob lol you have a new sub here #mick67 thanks for sharing!
Mick 67 thanks buddy glad you enjoy the channel 👍
I have a bunch of project cars if you're interested I can send them to you I usually send them to everybody I'm trying to eliminate the herd here send me an email
Anthony Bollini Hi Thanks that’s very kind of you, is your email available on your channel page? If not you can get mine using a pc on my about page of my channel 👍
Top job
