Arguably the most famous Corgi Toy ever produced, this feature packed model was rush-released just in time for 1965’s festive season. In only seven weeks Corgi sold three-quarters of a million of this marvellous model, causing stocks to completely run out by Christmas Day. Despite this huge number (it went on to sell just under four million!), fully-working mint condition examples in their original boxes are extremely rare and valuable today.
As to why the model was painted gold – unlike Bond’s silver DB5 in the movies – the story goes that Corgi bosses were concerned that the silver painted factory samples they were shown looked too much like 'base metal'. Any production delay would have meant the model not being in the shops in time for Christmas, so the quick decision was made to paint it in gold. The thinking was that gold would make the DB5 look more ‘special’ as a toy – a thought process no doubt influenced by the previous year's Bond movie, Goldfinger!A silver version, Corgi 270, was eventually released in 1968, which coincided with the original gold Corgi 261 being deleted. It hasn't been faithfully replicated until now, making our Corgi Model Club edition something very special, especially as it comes in a perfect facsimile of the original box and packaging, complete with the much sought after ‘secret instructions’, a 007 lapel sticker and that all-important spare ‘baddie’!

Très belle reproduction
The James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5 261 was released well into Corgi’s lifespan as a company, but its release heralded what would be considered the golden years of diecast toy cars worldwide.
Packed with features, this re-release is very faithful to the original version, and, in lieu of the original moulds, has been delicately crafted from the ground up to a near exact replica.
Whilst I have found that occasionally, in some cases the ejector seat is not always as cleanly sprung when activated 100% of the time as the originals mostly were, and the body paint is a slightly deeper, more vibrant gold than the original 1965 version, it’s still a fantastic model and any Corgi or James Bond enthusiast needs to own this re-release.
As the original is no longer for sale as new, this is a perfectly viable - and official - alternative. It comes with everything that the original did, down to the spare bad guy and the secret instructions and sticker.
This is one of my favourite toys of all time, up there with Kenner’s 1977 Star Wars line-up and the original GameBoy.
