This James Bond Aston Martin is in all original condition with none of the reproduction accessories, rife with this issue.
The deep gold car is fully functioning, complete with both figures. Few marks mostly at bumpers.
A cross-over or transition issue, the 2nd issue card plinth (i.e. with arrow on the red section where the model is placed) is clean, bright, complete and crisp.
No wheel slots tears. Virtually pristine in fact.
The 2nd issue outer box is clean bright and complete. 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, too. Crisp vivid card has a silky feel showing minimal and careful handling.
No accessories with this example.
