6 x Corgi Toys 271 James Bond's Aston Martin, factory-sealed
James Bond's Aston Martin x 6 by Corgi Toys, No.271. Factory-sealed Pack. Very scarce unopened old shop stock find. Assumed mint/boxed. Late issue from 1984, 1:36 scale. From The Wesley Lodge Collection.
Notes
A remarkable unsold old shop stock find.
We believe this still-sealed pack of 6 James bOnd Aston Martin models is the very difficult to source later issue made in the UK. If we are correct, this late issue has no reference to James Bond mentioned – indeed the yellow inner will have the reference obliterated.
The Aston Martin model is in 1:36 scale and we expect each one to have a distinctive colour finish – in a pewter silver-grey – and each one complete with the correct late issue figures of James Bond and 2 villains in brown plastic. Light gold bumpers and bright red interior.
Please see this image of an individual example sold by QDT in the past (and for reference only):
We expect each window box to be complete, clean and bright with a yellow insert, fixing clips and yellow slips which slide in at the side of the box with 271 printed. Also included should be the little Instruction Slip for the working features of this model.
Note that until the clear factory over-wrapping is removed, one cannot be certain of the version. However, the distinctive deep plain box tyre with ‘CORGI TOYS LTD., SWANSEA, GREAT BRITAIN, 1984’ print visible as well as the yellow card product number 271 visible leads us to the conclusion that this factory-sealed 6 pack does contain untouched versions as pictured above.
A very difficult version to find!
Images of the 6-pack from various angles show that it has been well-stored and rarely handled, so preserving the untouched as-new look and feel:
Storage tear to the fragile over-wrap.
