C336

Notes

Inspired by the James bond film “You Only Live Twice”, this model was made during 1967-69. Very carefully handled and stored, this car has a few tiny marks only, and one of the nicest we have seen in a long while. Both figures present, intact aerial, jewelled front and rear lights, complete registration numbers at front and rear, wire wheels, suspension. Notably the boot closes properly! Nearly always chipped at the rear over-riders, this example still has the bronze paint finish and no chipping at this site. Just the occasional near microscopic dot or two at the boot edge away from mint!

The Secret Instructions Packet has been carefully opened (no tears or discolouration) and inside there are the instructions, James Bond lapel badge, sprue with all eight rockets still attached. All original.

The inner plinth is very crisp; in shop-fresh condition with all four push-out tabs at the wheel slots still present and attached. Wonderfully vivid graphics/art work:

The outer box is very close to mint with strong bright colours on crisp card. Minor age wear only and a tiny area of surface removal at an end flap and a small tear.

A sought-after James Bond item, not easily found in this superb and all-original condition. Outstanding display piece!
