I still have mine after all these years but it's in sad shape--most of the paint gone, the tires all cracked...and I think I cut the seat back a bit to make the roof sit flush. Now, I'm ready to buy another, from a collector who's kept him in better shape. Actually, I tried 7 times before and ended up selling all 7 times, unhappy each time with the car I received, but I'm ready to try it once more. The toy's worth all this effort.

😂😂 thanks its was to hide the fact i was reading the first bit off to the side, because i hadn't had time to practice it 😂😂😂 but you'd never know that unless i mentioned it (which i won't)but it looks quite good i may use it again !

I have to agree Mark, a truly wonderful piece of miniature engineering to fit all the gadgets into such a small toy -------such was the ingenuity of the British toy industry of the 1960's. It deservedly was named British Toy Of The Year in 1965 and it was the toy every kid wanted! As you stated, it was a actually a re-tooled Aston Martin DB4 ( rather than an DB5) and you can see the front section has been remodeled. For me, the slightly later updated 270 model which was a genuine DB5, in the correct paint scheme and with the added edition of the revolving number plates and tyre slashers, is where Corgi got it bang on and is the one model to have. The original gold version though is still a work of art.

absolutely phenomenal toy ! i think it was corgi 218 they used it had an opening bonnett i think ? and only one petrol tank not two like on the DB5. corgi excelled themselves and changed toy making forever. then adding the extras like you said made the toy even better for the 270 version ! thank you for commenting ! hope you enjoyed the video ! sty safe M

Thank you glad you enjoyed the video ! The batmoblie is a truly great toy too !

Really good mate. I'd never heard of it or this brand before - living in Aust may be the reason, why - but what a weapon of a toy it is, with so much going on! A lot of those classic toys are so much better than the junk we get now. #vrafam

Thank you ! I’m glad you enjoyed the video ! And I’m gutted for you that you never had any Corgi toys as a kid ! I think there’s a smashed up one of these car in every kids toy box in the U.K. 😂😂😂 and your absolutely right old toys are much better ! Thanks for your comment, stay safe and have fun ! M #vrafam

Very cool!

Guess who can’t tell the difference between tuesday and thursday when they are scheduling an upload without their glasses on ! so welcome to this new exclusive #toytuesday on a thursday feature 😂😂😂😂 sorry everyone !

Good afternoon, I live in Montreal, Canada and would like to get my hands on the "Corgi Club" 261 EXACT REPLICA of the James Bond Aston Martin same as the 1965 one. I wrote to Corgi and they answered me this morning saying they dont ship to Canada. Would there be another way for me to buy one (other than eBay)? It is currently in stock at Corgi at this moment. Thank you Sir

The original version of 261 was a real banger💥 but the latest version made in China is just a poor Copycat & even the working gadgets aren't working properly👎 shame! Great review mate👌 thanks 🙏& merry Christmas too🎄🎅 Cheerio🥂
