Correct me if I am wrong but you don't see $74 AUD/17 bid resto's very often, even #22b https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Matchbox-Le ... _cvip=true

That's a hard model to find even as a common color beater. I am not surprised it sold for decent money, especially since it's a nice restoration. When done well, for models in demand, I've had restored models sell for over $100 USD.
