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 an outstanding deep lustrous gold finish and intact suspension on all four wheels.
Mint condition.
