Notes
One of the most popular Corgi models ever, issued between 1965-69.
This James Bond Aston Martin is in all original condition with none of the reproduction accessories, rife with this issue.
The car is fully functioning, complete with both figures. It has a lustrous bright gold finish – a most attractive example:
A few light scratches may be found on the roof and on the passenger door. Very faint roof rub. Roof closes very well (not gaping!). Suspension is fine on all four wheels. Original tyres are well-shaped.
The plinth on which the model sits is complete and bright, with both pull-out end tabs. Vivid colours and no wheel slot tears. Light crease to one of the wings and a small faint stain on the reverse.
The Instruction Packet has been opened and inside are the all-important Secret Instructions which detail the retractable machine guns, opening roof and ejector seat, rear bullet screen and telescopic over-riders.
All have been tested and work perfectly! The packet also contains the unapplied 007 badge, and the spare villain. Also present is the ‘Model Car Makers To James Bond’ Leaflet, included with some issues.
The 2nd issue outer box has strong colours Note that since it is 2nd issue there is shading detail around the lettering ASTON MARTIN DB5 on the box face and a black border around the JAMES BOND’S lettering. Light storage crease and a thumb tear at a small end flap. Lightly pencilled period price at an end flap.
