Notes
This sought-after James Bond Aston Martin model 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 are 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 just one tiny negligible pin-prick mark at the side of the roof (being extra-fussy here!).
The most attractive ‘winged box’ is in superb condition. These elaborate boxes so easily get torn or crumpled. This one has fared better than most, since it has been carefully stored and has barely been handled. The clear ‘blister’ is undamaged, the header card is fine and crisp with vivid graphics which have lost none of their vibrancy. The header card originally had two triangular push-out pieces at the top so that the box could be fixed on a rack in the toyshop at the time – one is still in place (usually both are missing!) A little grubbiness at the edge of the bubble on one side and slight traces of a shop price removal on the reverse (minor). This is the nicest “winged box” we have offered for sale.
The removeable card plinth is equally crisp and fresh, with a little minor wear. Inside, we have the beautifully clean and crisp all-important Secret Instruction packet! Carefully opened, so could be easily resealed if desired. The full complement of items are inside i.e. the Secret Instructions, the number plates ready to apply to the car, the badge and a spare villain. All original!
An absolutely authentic premium piece for your collection and a superb investment item.
