The car is fully functioning, complete with both figures. This James Bond Aston Martin has a very close to mint, all original, glossy gold finish.
Suspension. Fine tread original tyres are well-shaped.
A few tiny marks to the paint finish.
The 2nd issue card plinth (i.e. with arrow on the red section where the model is placed) is complete, fresh and crisp with intense colours. One little wheel slot tear.

The Instruction Packet has been carefully opened and inside you will find the 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).
The 2nd issue outer box impresses with vibrant colours on crisp, carefully handled card. 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.
Silky, as-new feel to the rarely handled card.
