Notes
An exciting and sought-after high quality Japanese tinplate model that displays so well.
This is 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.
All tested and working fine.
Note ’ASTON MARTIN" label on the underside.
Very close to flawless sleek silver finish on this beautiful example with lithographed interior. Shiny bumpers. Model measures 29cms. approx.
The colourfully illustrated card lift-of lid box is a scarce find. Even harder to find is this unlicensed box version (note no mention of James Bond on the lid). The unmistakable Sean Connery is behind the wheel of the car. Minor wear only. Polystyrene packing pieces are still present.
Issued mid 1960’s.
Instructions printed on the box.
With James Bond villain in still-sealed original clear plastic packet (small split).
With colourful James Bond tag. James Bond lapel sticker has been added at some time for extra interest.
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.
