costs. I didn't think I would ever display the model with gadgets open or even try them out so for me the non-Bond was fine. When I look at it, I still think of the movie scenes that it appeared in and even hear the Bond theme song in my head along with the sounds of the DB5 accelerating!

PS: The first diecast model I ever had was a Corgi 007 DB5 back in the 1960s. It was gold in color for some reason.

PPS: I just did a search and there's an advertised mint in box original 007 Corgi with an asking price of over $2,000 US! Maybe I should have kept mine :-) Link to Corgi model
