C270

Notes

First issue from 1968.
This sought-after James Bond Aston Martin model is in totally original condition. The silver Aston Martin with g*old radiator and bumpers* has a bright red interior. O pening roof feature with the ejector seat mechanism works well. Both figures of James Bond and villain are still seated inside.
It has the rear bullet screen which can be raised and lowered, telescopic over-riders, retractable machine guns, revolving number plates and of course the red tyre slasher blades on the rear wheels. Original tyres look as-new. The suspension is fine on detailed spoked wheels.

A few little marks on the base.

Specific number plates for this model have been applied. Paint finish is very close to mint, with just one small paint blemish at a front wing.
Slightly larger than the 261 James Bond Aston Martin, this model is presented in the most attractive, 1st issue ‘winged box’.
These elaborate boxes so easily get torn or crumpled. This example is intact and bright. The clear ‘blister’ is notably undamaged with none of the usual tearing from the card backdrop or indeed any separation from the card at the front. Just minor edge ruffling to the card rim. The header card is fine and crisp with vivid graphics. Unpunched header card. Minor edge ruffling and creasing.

The removable card plinth is crisp and colourful, with minor marking caused by the car and a couple of tiny flecks of surface loss. No Secret Instruction Packet/accessories with this example.
