Notes

We are especially delighted to offer one of the most popular Corgi models ever, issued between 1965-69.
The James Bond Aston Martin is in all original condition with none of the reproduction accessories, rife with this issue.
The car is fully functioning, complete with both figures. Suspension on wire wheels. Original tyres are supple and well-shaped. This Aston Martin DB5 model has a lustrous intense, deep toffee-gold finish; an especially attractive example, since often the Aston comes in a variety of shades. Note the light tan ejector roof interior too, coupled with a bright red interior. A rare version.

Tiny dot or two if you really want to fault it.
The plinth on which the model sits is close to pristine. Very vivid colours and tiniest wheel slot tears. Silky, as-new feel.

The Instruction Packet has been carefully opened (so no tears), and inside there are the all important Secret Instructions which detail the retractable machine guns, opening roof and ejector seat, rear bullet screen and telescopic over-riders. All have been tested and work perfectly! The packet also contains the unapplied 007 badge which is still affixed to the backing sheet. Inside the packet, too, there is the spare villain figure, in case the first one goes astray. Note the additional leaflet ‘Model Car Makers to James Bond’, present with some issues.

The outer box is the 2nd issue – note the shading detail around the lettering ASTON MARTIN DB5 on the box face (earlier issues do not have this) as well as the thick black border around the JAMES BOND’S lettering, too.
Crisp. Nice, silky feel to the tear-free card. Barely any wear at all.
A piece of Corgi history and a nostalgic treat which is hard to resist! *One of the most diffiuclt James Bond models to find. *
