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 examples we have seen. 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 nearly all the bronze paint finish still intact. Just the occasional near microscopic dot or two at the boot edge and a couple of tiny marks besides.

The Secret Instructions Packet has been carefully opened (no tears) 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 close to mint with strong bright colours on crisp card. Minor rubbing only at end flaps and a couple of tiny rubs where an old price label was removed (very minor indeed). No graffiti and the card is silky, showing minimal and careful handling only.

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