JAMES BOND'S ASTON MARTIN D.B.5. |
No collection of Corgis is complete without a Bond Aston. There were a number of them over the years and I think they are still actually in production - though they are 1:36 scale now. Was this the first must-have Christmas toy? At Christmas 1965 if you got one of these, and I did, it meant your parents had worked very hard to find one or had been very lucky! I had the Airfix one too - at about 1:18 scale it had loads more features including the opening tail lamps with caltraps.
I've put the DB4 alongside for comparison, did they use the same casting? it does look like it.
