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. Looking barely handled, this example has a very close to mint, all original, vivid glossy gold finish.
Suspension is fine on all four wheels. Fine tread original tyres are well-shaped.
The 2nd issue card plinth (i.e. with arrow on the red section where the model is placed) is complete, if showing light wear with a small scuff. One tiny wheel slot tear.
Reverse:
The Instruction Packet 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).
Additional Brochure ‘Model Car Makers to James Bond’ included too.
The 1st issue outer box is complete, clean and bright. Minor wear. 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, either.
