Manufacturer's Description
Featuring the car that has made more appearances than any other in various versions in different Bond films: our 1:36 scale replica offers a wealth of working features, including the rear bullet-proof screen, ejector seat, forward mounted machine guns and rear tyre slasher. Accompanied by figures which eject (and probably end up behind the sofa) when the mechanism is activated.

The Directors Cut range is a selection of the most popular cars from all the Bond Films, all highly detailed down to the high tech gadgetry that made them so famous. From the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish from Die Another Day featuring front firing missilies and spiked tyres to the legendary Lotus Espirit Underwater from The Spy Who Loved Me featuring sub-aquatic wings and propellors, this is surely the most comprehensive Bond range ever.

A faithful re-issue of the model I bought over 30 years ago5
My own example of this model was bought 30+ years ago, and despite having chipped paint, has lasted remarkably well. I even have the original baddie in the ejector seat. I keep it as a treasured memento of my childhood.
However, the good condition of my toy was recently threatened when my four year old son found it, and nagged at me to give it to him. At first I managed to delay him by giving him my old Spy who Loved Me Lotus, which let's be honest is ok, but not a patch on the DB5; before long he was back, calling me a "meanie" for not giving it to him and making me feel very guilty.
The solution to the problem came with the purchase of this re-issue which I have given him instead. It is almost an exact replica of my old one (there are slight differences, but they're not worth going into). In some ways the new one is better detailed, while retaining the essential working features, ie front guns, rear protector and ejector seat complete with baddie.
So now we're both happy. He's got his, and I've still got mine. It's early days, but I'm hopeful that his will last him for 30 years, as mine has.

Goldfinger mini James Bond car set3
This set is good value for money and is brilliant for a beginner collecter. If not for the collector, this set is fun for young children to play with. They are well made so they will last for a long time. For the James Bond fan, these are a good boost to your collection.
