Corgi Toys 261 James Bond's Aston Martin

Notes

One of the most popular Corgi models ever, issued between 1965-69.
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. It has a pleasing lustrous gold finish and intact suspension on all four wheels.
Very close to mint condition.

Note this casting does not have the indicator light detail, which was not present on later issues. For more details on Corgi 261 generally, please do refer to our Blog article.

Original tyres are well-shaped.

The plinth (with SECRET INSTRUCTION arrow, so 2nd issue) on which the model sits is complete with both pull-out end tabs. No wheel slot tears.
Reverse view:

The Instruction Packet has been opened carefully and inside you will find the Secret Instruction Leaflet and spare villain, badge.

The 2nd issue outer box is complete and clean with bright colours. Light age/handling wear.

Note that since it is 2nd issue there is shading detail around the lettering ASTON MARTIN DB5 on the box face and a black border around the JAMES BOND’S lettering.
