Notes
Inspired by the James Bond film “You Only Live Twice”, this Toyota model was made during 1967-69. A completely unused example – in very fine condition – but note that the windscreen is damaged – surely this example has not received rough handling – so we assume that this is factory assembly damage that was overlooked by Quality Control. Both figures present, intact straight aerial, jewelled front and rear lights, complete registration numbers at front and rear, and wire wheels.
A beautiful virtually flawless paint finish. Little light rubs at rear over-riders ( nearly always found heavily chipped) and a couple of tiny dots besides.
The clean Secret Instructions Packet has been carefully opened and inside, there are the instructions, full sprue of eight rockets, badge. So complete.
The colourfully illustrated card plinth has wonderfully vivid graphics/art work. Crisp and clean. All four push-out tabs at the wheel slots still present. Extremely fresh and crisp.
The outer box looks shop-fresh. It is always a thrill to see boxes like this! Nice to see that this example comes with both original packing pieces too.
