This exciting and iconic car is in all original condition with none of the reproduction accessories, rife with this issue.
The car is fully functioning, complete with both figures. This James Bond Aston Martin has a very close to mint, all original, glossy gold finish. Little mark to the paint on one side of the roof.
Suspension is fine on all four wheels. Fine tread original tyres are well-shaped.
The 1st issue card plinth (i.e. without arrow on the red section where the model is placed) is complete, fresh and crisp with bright colours. Very nice.
The Instruction Packet rather creased) has been opened and inside you will find the badge, Instruction Leaflet and spare villain.
*Secret Instructions Leaflet (detail the retractable machine guns, opening roof and ejector seat, rear bullet screen and telescopic over-riders).
With Model Car Maker’s to James Bond promotional colour booklet (crease).
The 1st issue outer box is a pleasing example with strong colours on crisp, complete card. Note that since it is 1st issue, there is no shading detail around the lettering ASTON MARTIN DB5 on the box face and no thick black border around the JAMES BOND’S lettering, too.
Light wear and an internal end flap tear repair.
