Hi, PB! I’ve seen this model done several times on KZread and each time I’ve thought, ‘No way. Way out of my league.’ Too many moving parts, not always complete, expensive ordering replacement bits, etc. Hats off to you! (Oddjob reference). You did an expert job. Totally enjoyable to follow your process. Yours could now be a tutorial video on this Corgi casting. Congratulations on a job well done with every moving part doing what it’s supposed to do! I have a sentimental fondness for this car, as the Goldfinger chase scene was filmed on the Furkapass (2,429 m) - one of the most awe inspiring Alpine passes, and not for from my home in Switzerland. Big thumbs up from me and Q! 🍁👍

Thank you Brian, it was a challenge at times, that's for sure.

I'm pushing 70 and still have my original condition DB5. The tyres are less that spectacular and the roof hatch sits partly open but otherwise it's pretty clean. I was disappointed many years after receiving it as a Christmas prez that the box, which my Mother told me at the time was "unwanted and clutters up the place" and which she duly hurled into the bin on Christmas Day, had a special instruction sheet and a spare ejecto-dude. Thankfully I still have the original ejecto-dude but I may shout it a new set of tyres. Great vid by the way.

Thank you Robbie, sorry it's taken so long to reply. That spring can be a pain. Are you using a repro ejector seat? I found the repro I had was a much softer plastic than the corgi original, which of course means it flexes a bit, which doesn't help. I 'm not able to post pics here, but if you'd like to send me an email I'll do my best to get a closer pic of how it goes together for you. I'm flattered you'd ask my advice on this, I'll do my best to help!

I purchase couple eBay. Sold as parts. I think i would b able to make two car. Git gold and silver. Funny the silver a little bigger. Be good if I can 3d the parts I need. Both need figurines, ejector seat, roofs and tyres and mayb windscreens. O well I guessing would be cheaper but another one. Cheers Graham.

The gold and silver versions are different castings, I think >some< of the parts are interchangeable, but I'm not sure which ones. The recover toy website lists some part as 'suits 261 and 270' and others as either / or. The Ejector Seat is one of them.

@@PBsRetroRestorations I restored multiple corgi toy cars myself, especially the VW 256 and DB5 models 261 and 270, mostly with spares from other cars, no repro parts. For a DIY or how to vid, the car to often is of centre in your vid (instead of your hasty - sped up- fingers). So your vid would benefit from adjusting the cam and slowing down the important steps. Superglue fogs the windows of the toycar, if reassambled too early (what you did not!👍). I think you should mention that. Don´t get me wrong. I appreciate what you do. But it should be a more patience thing. Not so much a getting the job done thing. And yes. The baking soda stuff really freaked me out!
