This exciting and iconic car is in all original condition with none of the reproduction accessories, rife with this issue.
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 on all four wheels notably. Fine tread original tyres are well-shaped.
Barely a mark – looks unused!
The 2nd issue card plinth (i.e. with arrow on the red section where the model is placed) is complete and brightly-coloured. Light wear. No wheel slot tears.
Reverse view:
The Instruction Packet has been opened carefully to reveal the badge, Instruction Leaflet and spare villain.
The 2nd issue outer box is complete and bright, showing some age/handling wear with rubs at some edges. 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.
Model Car Makers to James Bond Booklet included.
