Notes

This collector wanted only the best examples in his collection ? always a discerning buyer of the finest examples he could find. After over 25 years, he has now decided to part with items from his own extensive collection.
This is one of them.
Inspired by the James Bond film “You Only Live Twice”, this Toyota model was made during 1967-69. Displays very well with both figures present, intact straight aerial, jewelled front and rear lights, complete registration numbers at front and rear, and wire wheels. Suspension on front wheels only, but note the model still sits well.

The eagle-eyed may note a couple of minor marks at the rear over-riders and a dot or two besides to the paint finish. The boot opening function can be a little temperamental (often the case!).
The clean Secret Instructions Packet has been carefully opened and inside, there are the instructions, James Bond lapel badge, sprue with eight rockets attached. All original.

The colourfully illustrated card plinth has wonderfully vivid graphics/art work. Crisp and clean. Little edge ruffle. All four push-out tabs at the wheel slots still present.

The outer box is clean, bright and complete. Minimal handling. Nice, silky feel to the card. Light storage crease on one side Very minor wear besides.Tiny tear. No graffiti. Period price label at an end flap. Nice to see that this example comes complete with both original packing pieces too:
