Lovely job Jason I think a lot of these 1970s Corgi Junior castings have been overlooked they made a great range of models at that time

What I know about the model, hopefully helpful to you. The TW9 was one of the last models released under Husky Toys branding, after the expiry of the exclusivity deal with Woolworths and the launch of Corgi Juniors it initially gained thin Whizzwheels before the casting was re-engineered to take the standard wide version, I think Corgi retired it about 1973 so around a seven year run in two brands and with three different wheel types. I have one awaiting restoration, an early thin wheel Corgi Junior in cream.

It's pronounced Piaggio AP-AY (Ape is Italian for "Bee") 😉

I love it. You can’t beat the color, either. I hope you won’t take offense, but I got a kick out of you calling the Piaggio an “ape.” It is spelled that way, but it’s pronounced “ah pay,” which is Italian for bee. And the only reason I know that is because I lived there a hundred years ago. I’ll guarantee I was calling them apes until I was told different. Do you have an Isetta to redo? Or have you already? I can’t remember. One loses one’s memory with age.

I always try to get the pronunciations right but I didn’t for a moment think about it’s Italian pronunciation! I haven’t yet done an Isetta and I’m still on the lookout for one to restore

That is a neat looking truck and you did a great job of restoring it! The Hycote Ford Signal Orange looks just like the original color. Thanks for sharing this.

Nice one Jason. As you say a quirky vehicle. Good repaint. I don't remember this one in the range or even seen one in the flesh. As far as the cracked windscreen,being so flat maybe cut out the windscreen and insert a new bit of similar tinted plastic. Just a thought. Keep er lit ya boy ye

Wonderful restoration of an unusual model Jason. The lurid orange colour is very reminiscent of the Bond Bug.

the everyday models of everyday vehicles deserve love, too. :) nicely done, very orange. the cracked window, well what can you do. :)I maybe would have put some silver behind the headlights, but then again it might vanish in the shadows of the tunneled headlights, so there. :)

The crack kinda resembles a windscreen wiper. Maybe somebody makes one in that scale for kit model 'superdetailers'?

When you come across broken clear parts, are you ever tempted to use this as a master to make a clear resin replacement? I notice all the diecast car restorers entirely strip whatever paint is left. At which point do restorers ever consider touching up the paintwork so as to keep a model as close to original as possible? I enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

Resin is something I’m tempted to try one day perhaps when I find a bit more time! Personally I think a ‘touch up’ paint job would be very difficult for me as I exclusively use preset colours from rattle cans just out of choice. Those who mix and airbrush may be able to get a better match but again it is the quality of the finish that may be lacking. Generally it is best to apply a new colour to the entire model and leave those with minor imperfections be
