Notes

A so-close-to-mint of this sought-after James Bond Aston Martin model which is in complete and in totally original condition. The silver Aston Martin has the opening roof feature with the ejector seat mechanism working perfectly. Both figures of James Bond and villain 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. All the features function perfectly and the suspension is fine on three of the four detailed spoked wheels. It is only upon close inspection that the suspension fault on one of the wheels wil be discovered. On display and for operation of the working features, it is not apparent.
In fact, this Aston with its silky shop-fresh silver finish with gold trim is impressive on display!

The car has the tiniest dot on the roof and another near-microscopic mark above the rear windscreen, and that’s about it!
None of the usual marks at bumper edges or indeed in the centre of the opening roof.
The slim blue and yellow window box is such a difficult find in this condition: crisp, very fresh and bright with barely any wear at all. It has smooth intact original cellophane and bright colours throughout. No tears at end flaps etc. and the white card inner is damage-free too.

The clean, crisp Secret Instruction Packet has been carefully opened, and inside are the Secret Instructions, the full sheet of number plates ready to apply to the car, and the badge, unused and still firmly affixed to its clean backing sheet, as well as the spare villain. All original!

A most sought-after issue from a fantastic collection!
