O.K. I‘m 64 and also had this beautiful Aston. I‘ve played many hours, but I don‘t know where it is now 🥲

I remember the original. The car was a bright gold. The box also contained a stick-on lapel badge/patch with something like 007 printed on it. Corgi made loads of film and TV vehicles, like Green Hornet's beautiful Lincoln (I think) that fired a bright orange rocket from the front grille as you pushed down on the front of the model, as well as a sort of orange circular drone, I suppose, with triangular spokes, that shot out of the boot (trunk), when you pressed upon the rear of the vehicle. (The objects were orange, so you could find them more easily). Plus Lady Penelope's 6-wheeled pink Rolls, the SPV from Captain Scarlet, and another one (sorry, can't recall the type) from The Man from UNCLE. Corgi also made The Saint's white Volvo. Folks, I'm going back 50 or 60 years, here, but can still remember this stuff. It was FUN. Now kids just look at a pc screen.

All the Gerry Anderson models were Dinky. Corgi bid for the licence and had already got as far as developing a steering system for Fab 1 that would turn all four front wheels. They lost out to Dinky and the Christmas battle that year was between Dinky's Fab 1 and Corgi's Batmobile.

I was lucky to have my father working as a Production Engineer at Mettoy in Swansea when I was a lad....He occassionally took me into the factory on a Saturday morning when he had things to catch up on and showed me round the various production areas..I got many of the new Corgi models before they came out and the Bond car was one of them....Usually they had some small damage present that meant they would have been scrapped....Happy days with the old man working in a toy factory!...

It's amazing that the borrowed parts belong to a swiss friend... Switzerland is in fact the country where part of the movie "Goldfinger" is set. In a scene, 007 was driving his Aston Martin while held at gunpoint by the henchman of the villan, Auric Goldfinger, who is "addicted" to gold. Also this particular die cast might be painted in gold (and not grey/silver as usual) as reference to Goldfinger. As always great job!!!

Cool

I'm in AWE of your skill! Such steady handiwork, and FAR better than it was from Toy "R" Us back in 1966!

Thank you very much

Hi Paul, fascinating watching you restore this wonderful car even more so as I have the car c/w figures and everything is working. The car has lost a bit of paint but it really is a treasure. So interesting to watch you work 👍🖊📐

Like the restoration job, 36:26 nice work, believe it or not I have James Bond's gun, a few years ago I bought a Walther PPK 380 from a retired homicide detective, it was his backup gun he kept in an ankle holster, do the same thing I own a jewelry store and I'm wheelchair bound, but the really cool thing is the serial number starts with 007 so I say I have James Bond's gun. I enjoyed your video. I hope to more.

Great restoration job, but I'm interested to know why you painted the Bad Guys hair Brown, and not Black like the original figure is? I've seen many many restorations done on on KZread of these Gold Corgi 261 James Bond car's, but never seen anyone before make new Tyres and figures, I take my hat off to you, amazing. 👍🙂👍

Thank you very much, to be honest, I didn't think about the hair color of the villain. I thought it was dark brown. Kind regards

I played with this toy when I was a kid, bullet proof pop up panel on the back, machine guns popping out from behind the headlights, ejector seat, and triangle number plates that could be rolled over to show three different plate numbers. It was a gray car though not gold. I'm guessing it was a different make to this one. The doors also opened on the one I played with.
