270 - James Bond's Aston Martin DB5
Issued in 1968 in the wake of the success of 1965’s gold Corgi 261, the all-new Corgi 270 gave fans what they’d been calling for – a James Bond Aston Martin DB5 in silver, just like the movie car! It was produced in a slightly larger 1:43 scale (as opposed to Corgi 261’s 1:46) to allow for two exciting new features – revolving number plates and pull-out rear wheel tyre slashers.
However, it retained the earlier model’s ejector seat, pop-out machine guns and overriders, as well as the rear bullet-proof shield. This Corgi Model Club Gold Grille Edition, which replicates the classic period-correct Corgi 270 livery, is presented in a facsimile of the original’s iconic illustrated packaging and comes complete with the all-important secret instructions, lapel sticker and a spare bad guy. Despite being one of Corgi’s all-time best sellers, precious few survive today in pristine condition.
