Aston Martin DB5 James Bond "Goldfinger" 1:46 - n°261
As for the reason why the model was painted gold — unlike Bond’s silver DB5 in the films — the story goes that Corgi’s management were concerned that the silver-painted factory samples they had seen looked too much like “bare metal”. Any production delay would have prevented the model from reaching shops in time for Christmas, so the decision was quickly made to paint it gold. The idea was that the gold finish would make the DB5 feel more “special” as a toy — a choice no doubt influenced by the Bond film released the previous year: Goldfinger!

Comme la « vraie » d’il y a 60 ans : une superbe reproduction du mythique modèle 261 GOLD de Corgi Toys, lors de sa première commercialisation. Je possède déjà une autre réédition (argent) d’avant le Brexit (moins réussie), ainsi que celle de la (géniale) version 270. Merci NOREV !
