What a beautiful work!!! Very nice restoration. I can’t say it enough those Majorette from the 70s and 80s are absolutely the best. So many nice details stamped in the body and base

[@BelgianDiecastRestorations]

Thanks! I do love those old Majorette models. Indeed, there was so much attention to detail.

De R5, prachtig. Als kind had ik de grijze variant. Maar elke R5 was top! De rallywagen van Ragnotti was een prachtexemplaar. En mijn favoriete speelgoedautootje als kind was ook een R5. De rode R5 turbo van Majorette. Knappe restauratie!

[@BelgianDiecastRestorations]

Bedankt! Ik geloof dat Majorette in totaal drie R5 varianten had. Er was nog eentje zonder de spiegels en antenne, die qua schaal een millimetertje groter was en er was ook de bredere Turbo versie, die jij had.
