A Renault 17 In Matchbox Style

The Lesney-made Renault 17 is not really a true copy of te original car, other producers made it nicer, but I like this Matchbox the best! I had this Renault 17 for several decades, but it had to wait for the resto up till 2018. I had to get a new interieur, because te steering wheel was missing and the dashboard was broken, didn't hold properly the windscreen. The wheels were in very bad condition, so I replaced them, too.


After it I started the restoration.


It got a bright sun yellow, not the original red colour (I took the idea from a Lesney blister pack, where a yellow Renault 17 was on the picture and I got to like it).


And I detailed it; at the end it got a sticker (similar, like the original was) and a custom box with the yellow Renault on it).
