I feel a bit out of place commenting, expect since you mentioned you appreciate comments so I figured it would be a safe time to say I love your channel and your voice is very soothing to me and you take great care in drilling your cars and really shows you care for your collection. Thank you for being an inspiration!

in regard to those wheels .consider how many of these are still around , I have never seen one with broken wheels ...ever. this model is nearly 50 years old and those tiny little wire spoke wheels have survived . in the uk there are a lot of modern small scale vehicles by a company called oxford diecast . there great models and loads of variety but even they cant make a decent wire wheel , they have a sort of fake plastic moulded ones .I think these old lesney/matchbox car are probably the best value toy on the market. I still have loads of mine and every one has a memory . I enjoy your videos and find them informative and entertaining . the reason the paint wasn't easy to remove is simple ...it was british made ... back when we did actually make stuff and did it well lol. cheers .

Looking at the car at the end of the video, the one thing I could think of that would be easy to do, but make all the difference, is somehow, placing a black stripe of paint around the raised section of the edge of the windows to create the look of the rubber seals that go around the windows...this would really give it a finished look, much like the detail on the grille you did....excellent work with this one!

You know what's really neat about this model? How even in those days Matchbox was able to capture the look and feel of the real car. In my opinion, they were really careful in ensuring that this Ferrari would resemble the genuine article as much as possible although the modelling technology they used was far from perfect when this was made.

I've recently bought this same car as well, and am currently in the process of restoring it like you did to yours. The only difference is that I have absolutely no sanding to do on the body, I soaked it in Pine-Sol and so far the old paint appears to be lifting right off, still not ready as it needs to soak for about a week to get all the paint completely off. You should try using Pine-Sol sometime to remove paint on your car bodies, it's very strong and works really well.
