The James Bond Collection

These are probably my most prized collection......all six 007 die-cast made by the reputable Autoart, before losing the 007 license to make the Bond vehicles. Autoart die-casts are highly detailed with flawless paint, fit-and-finish and correct scaling.

All the Bond die-casts featured working spy gadgets, especially the Aston Martin DB5, with features like:
- Ejecting seat
- Rotating license plate
- Concealed firearms (from front and rear lights)
- Bullet proof shield
- Tire shreader etc

I never remove them from the box since these are highly collectible items now and they have appreciated so much since discontinued years ago.
