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.
Please see our Blog on Corgi 261 models.
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 very close to mint, all original, glossy gold finish (small mark on the roof).
Suspension. Fine tread original tyres are well-shaped.
The 1st issue card plinth (i.e. without arrow on the red section where the model is placed) is complete and brightly-coloured. Happily free of wheel slot tears notably.
Reverse view:
The Instruction Packet has been opened and inside you will find the Instruction Leaflet and a spare villain (no badge now).
Secret Instructions Leaflet (detail the retractable machine guns, opening roof and ejector seat, rear bullet screen and telescopic over-riders).
The 1st issue outer box is complete, clean and bright, showing lightest wear only. 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.
Period price label on one side.
