Excellent job Dave. It captures the look of the iconic Bond car superbly.

Outstanding work Dave.

[PaulinKendal]

Superb - and what an amazing car the DB5 was! You've certainly done it justice.

[Neil Merryweather]

A wonderful job , Dave.
I don't doubt that you've got the colour correct but in my memory (probably of the Dinky car I had at the time) the DB5 was a bronze colour . Did Dinky get it wrong or is my memory playing tricks?

[Guest]

Another very nice one finished. The figures are a really good addition, IMHO, to put it into context even more.

[davecov]

Thanks everybody.

Neil Merryweather Neil, it was Corgi who produced the gold DB5 first of all in 1965 and then a silver one in various versions. Silver was the correct colour and you can read the story of the gold one, here.

Great article Dave. Interesting to see how they thought longevity was important in kids toys…..these days they would probably let it break so they could sell another one……

Also interesting that they mention the Green Hornet car turkey…..I had that one. I asked for the Batmobile for Xmas, and got the Green Hornet car LOL…..never heard of it….neither had I and I still have no idea why my parents bought me that one……mind you, I also got a Liverpool football kit that year…..and I’m a Leeds fan…..surprised I didn’t need therapy really…..

[minitnkr]

This right here prolly passed for therapy in the 50s/60s.

[Stefee]

If I remember correctly the official colour of the Bond car was Silver Birch.
