Notes
Barely handled and extremely well looked after with one owner from new, 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. It has a lustrous gold finish – an especially attractive example, in exceptional condition and certainly one of the nicest you will ever see.
A tiny (probably factory) mark to the paint finish on the driver’s side (extremely minor and you really have to look for it). Fortunately, this model does not have the almost obligatory chip on the roof and neither does the roof gape slightly open when closed!
Beautiful gold bullet screen
so often the gold finish is rubbed away during use.
The plinth on which the model sits is in shop fresh crisp condition – with no wear at the wheel slots. Very vivid colours.
The Instruction Packet is still sealed and so inside there will be 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, and the spare villain.
The outer box is most impressive with very vivid deep colours and no rubs or wear at edges or corners. Startlingly good – shop-fresh!
All in all, this is one of the nicest examples we have seen – and of course, all original and authentic throughout.
A piece of Corgi history, a sound investment, and a nostalgic treat which is hard to resist! You will not find better.
