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.
Note this casting does not have the indicator light detail, which was not present on later issues. For more details on Corgi 261 generally, please do refer to our Blog article.
Original tyres are well-shaped.* A little area of rough casting on a wheel arch.
The plinth (without SECRET INSTRUCTION arrow, so 1st issue) on which the model sits is complete with both pull-out end tabs. Day-one fresh!
The Instruction Packet has not been opened.
The 1st issue outer box is clean, silky, brightly-coloured and complete.
Note that since it is 1st issue there is no shading detail around the lettering ASTON MARTIN DB5 on the box face and no black border around the JAMES BOND’S lettering.
