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 is fine on the front wheels, very soft at the rear, but the model still sits well.

The eagle-eyed may note very minor marking at the rear over-riders and a few tiny pin prick marks to the paint finish. Faintest of door rubs (where it has been in contact with the plinth – very, very minor indeed!) The boot opening function works well.
The clean Secret Instructions Packet has been carefully opened and inside, there are the instructions, sprue with four rockets attached and two loose rockets. Curiously, this model has a factory spare gear stick! All original. No badge.

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

The outer box looks shop-fresh. It is always a thrill to see boxes like this! Nice to see that this example comes with both original packing pieces too.
