REDUCED, from $495.00.
This is a 100% Original (Without Box) James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5 Spy Car(The NEWER Edition). This later model is a bit larger than the first edition and is "silver" in color, with RED tire slashing rear wheel spinners. I am the Original Owner. All the added features work exactly as they should. It has real wire wheels and it's original tires.It does havea few "tiny" chips, that were there since new. When these were new, they were hard to come by and you were lucky to get one at all and couldn't be picky about perfection.It was never played with, but wasdisplayed. I was a fussy kid. I grew up to be a Collector of "Life Size" corgis; if you know what I mean...........and am still a Purist, that doesn't waver from Original. It is as MINT as they ever came from the factory. They were toys with inherant flaws.
It does have an original license plate sticker on the front spinning plate feature. It reads JB 007 GB.
The roof hatch mechanism works, but is a little sticky. The ejector seat has always gotten stuck on Bond's left arm. The left front suspension spring is a little soft.
The FirstEdition (GOLD) is MUCH MORE RARE, than it'ssecond generationcounterpart. I had one of those listed as well.
My First Edition example was listed for $695.00 and SOLD for $625.00, this month ( July 2009 ).
The word "NEW" in my listing title is the designation on the car's underside. It does not show a catalog number, but rather the word NEW to signify that this is the NEW version or edition of the car.
ZERO disappointment here.
Please offer or Buy to Own.
GOOD LUCK !
