Notes
A very close to shop-fresh example of this iconic Corgi model.
This James Bond Aston Martin, finished in bright metallic silver with a red interior, has vivid gold radiator & bumpers. Twelve-spoke detail Whizzwheels. This example has one deep graphite grey and one silver lever. Bullet shield is graphite grey too (minor wear to paint on top edge).
Features:
Retractable Machine Guns, Ejector Seat to send the ‘baddie’ flying through the air, rear bullet screen and telescopic over-riders. With two villains in packet. Note that the small side lever needs to be pressed whilst returning the ejector roof into its closed position.
The colourful, header card box with 1:36 scale tag has intact original cellophane. Note there is Swedish print on the box base and "Mettoy Co. Ltd.’ on box reverse.
A little wear to the formed section of the card inner due to model movement and a crease to header card reverse. Couple of very small repaired tears to card outer box.
