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. Looking unused and barely handled, this example has a close to mint, all original, intense gold finish:
A few marks but crucially no mark mark at roof centre!
The 1st issue card plinth (i.e. without arrow on the red section where the model is placed) is clean, bright and tear-free.
Light age wear.
The Instruction Packet has been opened (no tears). Complete with all accessories (badge, Instruction Leaflet and spare villain).
Secret Instructions Leaflet (detail the retractable machine guns, opening roof and ejector seat, rear bullet screen and telescopic over-riders – all have been tested and work perfectly).
The 1st issue outer box is clean bright and complete. 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, too. Minor handling wear with o tears or graffiti.
Included is the additional leaflet ‘Model Car Makers to James Bond’ (not included with all examples).
