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. Looking unused and barely handled, this example has a virtually mint, all original, vivid glossy gold finish.
Suspension is fine on all four wheels. Fine tread original tyres are well-shaped.
