1964 Aston Martin DB 5

[1959scudetto]

One of the classic British car icons, and world-wide known as the James Bond car - a very nice model from Danbury Mint in original Dubonnet red, a deep metallic red. Highly detailed, even for today's standards (it is from the 80/90's ?). Everything opens, even the very delicate looking  fuel caps in the c-pillars, though I admit I haven't tried to open them for I don't want to break them.

There is also a sunken radio antenna, some photoetched emblems, and the seats are covered with what looks like real leather - the weakest point is the heavy looking wire wheels, but anyway - a heavy and valuable model.

I'm not sure if this has been posted long ago, but anyway - enjoy the pictures:

Nice, I have this and the Bond car. Snake found it, Gary grabbed the new Motormax I think and posted recently. 3 colors I’ve seen, Bond version does not have much for features. 
Paint on these DMs are gorgeous.

Beautiful model indeed.  My favorite part are the rivets in the wooden steering wheel.

Thanks, Gary and Keyser - it is certainly one of the highlights among my 1/24 die-casts.
