Lesney #33c-Lamborghini Miura Superfast Chassis Swap

The Lamborghini Miura is an absolute classic, one of my all time favorite cars. And the Lesney version is just as good. A real gem, everyone should have one in their diecast collections.  I made a sort of reverse-transitional version. Just a chassis and interior swap with a beater purchased from ebay. As far as I know, there were never any made like this, so this is a "one-of-none" Whatcha think??

Other Miura restorations I have completed:

Regular Wheel Miura

Superfast Miura

And some of the other Miuras I have in my collection.

And some 1:1s to boot!

Lesney #55c - Ford Galaxie Police Car Restoration

This was just a quick repaint, nothing too special, but I do like how it came out! I was going for the unmarked "detective car" look. I have misplaced my flash drive that has the "before" pics, but I'll update this post if I can find them haha.

This is a very well done casting from what I consider to be the golden age of Matchbox, the later Regular Wheel era. It's a fairly common casting, and I know I must have 8-10 beater ones laying around. What do you think of my plainclothes special?

Lesney #05e-Lotus Europa Bulgarian Restoration

Hey everyone, here's my latest custom. A rare Bulgarian casting, it's a Lotus Europa. It was sent to me by a friend on a forum, looking pretty sorry for itself. But the potential was there for sure! These Bulgarian castings are pretty valuable these days, and this is the only one I have in my collection.

I decided to go back to the original metallic blue that they came in on their debut in the Lesney lineup.
