I actually prefer the hard top version but I wouldn't kick this one out of my garage...
You're so fussy.....
....I bet you prefer the Gold paintjob too?
I am fortunate however to have a black and white photo of me holding it proudly when it was still intact!
Aged 11 I owned an example of the original corgi model 261, the James Bond hardtop DB5 in 1965. From memory I think it cost 7/6. It was handed down to my two younger brothers who trashed it - as little boys do. I wish I had it now.

And those early Corgi JB models fetch a nice price today, especially if you have the box and the passenger with the gun hasn't been "ejected" and lost

Now that would be taking the whatsit...

I had one and it was wonderful. The machine guns popped out and the ejection seat worked too, flinging the baddie into the air. But it got played with and scratched, the man was hoovered up. I think mum sent it to a jumble sale (remember those?) in the end. I don't care: toys are to be played with.

Reminds me of James Mays Toy Stories visiting an auction, buying an old Hornby Engine and telling them to keep the box
Lovely. I'd be the same with real cars if I had Jay Leno's garage and his bank balance. Keep the nice and clean, fed and watered but take the out and use them...
I was looking at a red Ferrari 250GT from 1960 today and biting the back of my hand...

That'd be great rigged up!
Gareth do you really think the lucky owner would let you near those hallowed panels with your sucker?!

Could use the glass!
As long as you spray window cleaner on both mating surfaces then it doesn't damage the paintwork

Oh, OK then... This bit of kit could open up a very exciting world of photography for you, G. Looking forward to seeing more shots. I could cross the Channel and you could shoot my Z3. Perhaps not blue-blooded enough, though.
