Citroen ID 19 Safari, 1963. Corgi no. 436. Full renovation. Die-cast model.

In 1963, the Corgi company introduced the Citroen DS 19 Safari station wagon toy model. This model was inspired by a television film about conservation in Africa. The toy was produced until 1965, but was later reissued in an Olympic variant and as an Alpine rescue car. The model I am restoring today has always been yellow and almost always missing the tailgate window and roof rack. My model also did not have tires. I supplemented all these things during the renovation by making new ones. The Citroen was also a very interesting toy because it had folding rear seats and the rear hatch opened upwards. I also made a copy of the box in which the toy was packed in 1963. Thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity - press the letter C on your keyboard or three dots on your mobile phone.

Ciao, Paul.
Altro restauro notevole, partito da una base davvero malmessa e mancante di molte parti, ma sei riuscito comunque a riportarla all' antico splendore.
Complimenti!

[@PaulRestorer]

Grazie mille

Nawet nie wiedziałem, że "DS" nazywał się "ID" jako kombi 😃
Świetny model, a CORGI był znany ze swoich technicznych udoskonaleń 😉
Świetna robota, Paul, CIT znów jest jak nowy 🤩
(Oczywiście jak zawsze podoba mi się misterna praca nad szczegółami. Oglądanie ciebie to zawsze przyjemność 🚗🔍👀)
Wielkie dzięki za udostępnienie, Paul, zdecydowanie oba kciuki w górę za to 👍🏼 👍🏼
Miłego tygodnia i Wesołych Świąt dla Ciebie i Twojej rodziny 🎄.

This looks good. I feel that it should have decals on the driver and passenger door. This is a more modern sensibility- the 60's and 70's did seem to have less signage. Another fantastic restoration,

Paul --- Have you tried using the ingredients and materials from one of those headlight restoration kits now being sold for automobiles to restore the plastic windows in your Corgi and Matchbox cars and trucks? That might avoid having to make a completely new windshield for cars where the windshield is not broken, but only fogged or scratched.

[@PaulRestorer]

I use various products to regenerate plastic, for example, I clean the windows with Somax paste or after cleaning them with sandpaper. I soak them in gauzy agent, but if the windows are cracked, there is no other option than making a new window. Best regards.
