Notes

First issue from 1968.
This sought-after James Bond Aston Martin model is in totally original condition. The silver Aston Martin with gold bumpers has the opening roof feature with the ejector seat mechanism functioning. Both figures of James Bond and villain are still seated inside. It has the rear bullet screen which can be raised and lowered, telescopic over-riders, retractable machine guns, revolving number plates and of course the red tyre slasher blades on the rear wheels. Original tyres look as-new. The suspension is fine on detailed spoked wheels.

Paint finish is in stunning virtually mint (hesitate to say absolutely mint, because you can always find the most minute mark if you look hard enough!).
Slightly larger than the 261 James Bond Aston Martin, this model is presented in the most attractive, 1st issue ‘winged box’.

These elaborate boxes so easily get torn or crumpled. This one has survived better than the vast majority you will find. None of the front edge warping/ruffling to the front edge card rim or around the card blister. Exceptional in this respect. The header card is fine and crisp with vivid graphics which have lost none of their vibrancy. Crisp, barely handled feel. Note that there is a section on the right hand side of the plastic blister which has separated from the card (common fault). Tiny wear and a little creasing in one area on the reverse.

The removable card plinth is in virtually mint-mint condition. Inside, we have the all-important, crisp and fresh-looking Secret Instruction Packet which has never been opened! (Note that it is not an opened example that has been re-sealed at some time!). It will contain the Secret Instructions, the sheet of number plates, the badge and a spare villain. Corgi Club Membership Form included too.

A most attractive, iconic James Bond item.
