From the sad and battered 1970s toy on the left above, with its "speedwheels" and pale paintwork, to the proud addition to your collection of early dinkys.
There is a lot of work to get to this stage where the old toy from the bottom of the car boot box can be displayed in your glass cabinet.
the original model will have to be stripped of axles and wheels, taken apart, and altered maybe to take new parts. The masters for the new parts will have to be made, moulds prepared and castings made. All the pieces have to be painted prior to assembly. Then tyres and transfers have to fitted.
