Notes
A so-close-to-mint of this sought-after James Bond Aston Martin model which is in complete and totally original condition. The silver Aston Martin has the opening roof feature with the ejector seat mechanism working perfectly. Both figures of James Bond and villain still seated inside. It has the rear bullet screen which can be raised and lowered, telescopic over-riders, retractable machine guns, revolving number plates and of course the red tyre slasher blades on the rear wheels. All the features function perfectly and the suspension is fine on detailed spoked wheels.
The car has the faintest mark on the roof caused when the ejector mechanism is used, and a pin head mark besides. Minor rubbing caused by the box on the bumper edges.
The slim blue and yellow window box is very fresh and bright with barely any wear at all. It has smooth intact original cellophane and bright colours throughout. A faint crease in one small area – really this box is as nice as you could wish!
The clean Secret Instruction packet has been opened, and inside are the Secret Instructions, the number plates ready to apply to the car, the badge and a spare villain. All original!
It is very difficult to imagine a nicer example of this most sought-after issue.
