Notes
One of the best examples we have ever seen. Remarkably this model was brought into a church sale in New Zealand.
This is an exciting and sought-after high quality Japanese tinplate model in shop-fresh state.
A real beauty and an absolute must for any serious James Bond enthusiast or Aston Martin collector; an iconic Aston Martin model which comes to life with a moving bullet-proof shield, machine guns extending, lighting up and firing, and crash bumpers extending and retracting. The model starts and stops automatically. Extending tyre cutters and steering. Ejecting mechanism. Revolving number plates.
Virtually flawless sleek silver finish on this beautiful example with lithographed interior. Model measures 29cms. approx.
The colourfully illustrated card lift-of lid box is a delight! The unmistakable Sean Connery is behind the wheel of the car. Minor wear only. Polystyrene packing piece is included. Box is dated 1965.
Instructions included.
With colourful tag.
If you have been looking for a stand out James Bond piece that encapsulates the very essence of the 007 appeal, then your wait is over.
