Notes

It has been a while since we have seen such a fine example – and especially difficult to find in a box as good as this!
Happily free of the faults that can beset this particular item i.e. the roof opening mechanism works well with the figure of James Bond popping up when the hatch flips open. Also, the red scanner revolves slowly as the Buggy moves along. The ‘arms’ are bright and untarnished and keep their position well (they do not flop at the sides!). All in all, this James Bond Moon Buggy inspired by the film ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ is in superb condition with a complete paper label at the front of the model.

Upon close inspection, one may see a few of the tiniest dots at the back edge of the seating area (being extra fussy here!), minor discolouration to the white background of the paper label, a few little edge rubs to the front ‘bumper’ of the vehicle. One of the yellow wheels is a little light affected now.
The fragile window box is especially difficult to find with original cellophane. This example has fared better than most with a tiny puncture and a little crumple. Colours are vibrant. Card has minor handling wear in the form of the occasional ruffle, light crease. No graffiti or tears. Attractive inner backdrop (moon scene) too.

A fine and desirable James Bond item made between 1972-74.
