This 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 all four spoked wheels. Fine tread original tyres are well-shaped.
A few negligible marks but crucially no mark mark at roof centre!
The 2nd issue card plinth (i.e. with arrow on the red section where the model is placed) is clean, bright and tear-free. Very fresh indeed.
The Instruction Packet has been opened (small tear). Complete with all accessories (badge, Instruction Leaflet and spare villain).
Secret Instructions Leaflet (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 2nd issue outer box is a superb example. Note that since it is 2nd issue, there is shading detail around the lettering ASTON MARTIN DB5 on the box face and a thick black border around the JAMES BOND’S lettering, too. Crisp, showing minimal handling. Note the period French shop price label on one end.
