C270

Notes

This sought-after James Bond Aston Martin model in silver is in complete and totally original condition, and always the most sought-after in this eye-catching box presentation.
This is the more unusual version with dark red seating. It has the opening roof feature with the working ejector seat mechanism. 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 have been carefully tested (however, we find that the functions are very stiff, probably never having been used, and would not recommend using them if at all possible!).
The suspension is fine on detailed spoked wheels.
An iconic Corgi model in mint condition.

The ‘winged box’ is complete and bright. Notably, the clear ‘blister’ is undamaged with none of the usual separation from the card at the front and no tearing at this site either. Both ‘wings’ are complete and intact too. Colours are vivid. The usual edge ruffling to the card and a minor crease/light handling wear. No graffiti and the header card has vivid graphics which have lost none of their vibrancy.

The removeable card plinth is very crisp and clean, looking fresh. Small edge separation at one seam.
This set includes the Secret Instruction Packet which is complete with the full complement of items i.e. the Secret Instructions, the number plates on a backing sheet, the badge and a spare villain. All original!

One of the most exciting and decorative Corgi film-related models – and this example with the deep red seating is a more difficult find.
