Corgi Toys 261 James Bond's Aston Martin

Notes

Always a sought-after Corgi toy, this James Bond Aston Martin is a first issue casting (production run 1965-69). Note the indicator light casting and double side vent present on this early issue.

This exciting and iconic car is in all original condition with none of the reproduction accessories, rife with this issue.
The car is fully functioning, complete with both figures. This James Bond Aston Martin has a virtually mint, all original, light glossy gold finish.
Suspension on all four wheels notably. Fine tread original tyres are well-shaped.
Barely a mark – looks unused!

The 2nd issue card plinth (i.e. with arrow on the red section where the model is placed) is complete and brightly-coloured. So fresh-looking! Light crease. No wheel slot tears.

Reverse view:

The Instruction Packet has never been opened (note it has not been opened and then re-sealed) so inside will be the badge, Instruction Leaflet and spare villain.

The 2nd issue outer box is complete and bright, looking very clean with a silky rarely handled feel to the card. Note that since it is 2nd issue, there is shading detail around the lettering ASTON MARTIN DB5 on the box face and a thick black border around the JAMES BOND’S lettering, too. Little edge crumple. Period dollar price labels on an end flap.
