Sorry If this is a little long but it is a true story about this very car. As a kid, on my birthday my Nan gave me the money to buy this James Bond car, I rushed to the local toy shop and bought it, rushing outside I ripped the box open { No collecting for the future or anything } and knelt down on the pavement to push it along , I pressed the little "ejector seat" button and it flipped open and ejected the little figure perfectly, I followed it's ark through the air and as I watched the little man disappeared straight down a drain on the roadside......I would pay anything just to see my own face when this happened lol. I was absolutely gutted but elated to discover later there was a spare in the box ha ha.

I have an identical story with one difference, the first day, but perhaps not the first ejection, he went straight into the furnace vent. The bad guy got incinerated. I don’t remember that mine had a spare. Perhaps I threw away the box and never knew. After watching this video I immediately went to the comments and of course I wasn’t the only one.

Fun fact: my mate's grandfather was the original owner of Corgi toys. They began in Germany between the Wars making pressed tin toys. They had to flee Germany for England at the outbreak of WWII. My mate's dad, as a child, was tasked with "testing" designs - seeing how long they took to break. Best job ever.

Funny you should mention losing the little bad guy. Just today, my dad showed me a scan of an old Corgi catalogue he'd found online, same one he'd had as a kid in the 60ies. And right there, next to this Aston Martin on the page is a replacement set containing "Two spare Bandits". They knew it'd happen.

@@JohnD640 As a 63 year old, I can say I still have my model of the Corgi Batmobile from 1967. Even has the price tag on the box. 13/6d old UK currency About £0.65. It was even worse that the James Bond Aston Martin for loosing bits. The 3 tube rocket launcher on the back came with 12 "rockets" (obviously they knew these would be lost), not sure but I think I have 3 left. Also had this James Bond DB5 when I was younger but sold off all bar the Batmobile a number of years ago. Incidently the story is that Corgi had this model ready to be released at the same time as the film and as the film was named Goldfinger, the corgi designers had assumed the car would be gold. Must have been some concerns when the film was released and the car was silver. Corgi had already released the gold edition but subsequent releases were in silver.

A great tip: use silly putty to cover detailed areas you done want painted. You can use a tool to push it into areas and get good coverage. Once you finish painting, it peels right off. Works great when you want to cover the body area where the headlights are, and just leave the headlights exposed. It’s shapable too, so you can put in anywhere on the car you don’t need painted.

Though the vast majority of the cars I collected from about 1959-1969 were Matchbox, I loved my Aston Martin and the huge Bond coolness factor! I had only two other Corgis, a Lancia and a Ferrari. Nicely done restoration. I had no idea what incredible engineering had gone into that little marvel!

It was from a later re-release (circa 1980-ish), the hijacker passenger (two provided) came in plain blue plastic by that time too, presumably to cut production costs. I've always understood from Bond aficionados that earlier releases of the toy were on gold were to tie in to the 'gold' theme of Goldfinger, where the car made it's first appearance and after which the first release came.

Yes, please do more larger scale too. Would you consider doing a 1:18 scale diecast like a Burago? That being said, this was another fantastic job, thanks for doing this "rolling jigsaw puzzle" of a car. Love the self deprecating humor, too.

Great job - love the worn wheels on the restored car, a very nice contrast.

Do more of these please. Quite interesting with all the moving parts inside them.

It's really amazing watching this car go from a beat up old toy to a beautiful display piece! Great video!

This was a really cool video. It's different from what you normally do, but I liked the change of scenery, and the complexity of the car's mechanisms. It would be super cool if you did more of these types of videos. On a separate note, thank you for doing these videos. I don't remember how I found this channel, but it wasn't from a love of Hot Wheels (not that I don't like them, but I'm not a collector or a hobbyist). However, this channel has made me want to start doing restorations and collecting. It looks so serene and relaxing, and I must say your videos are one of the ways that I de-stress. Not only are they relaxing, but they're also informative. I came to this channel not even knowing about the community around restorations, and now I could confidently instruct a friend in cleaning up a Redline. Thank you.

VERY nice ! Thanks for posting this. Nice work you do. I had one of these cars when I was a kid. I think it was grey/silver like the movie car. Never saw this car in gold. I have an old Corgi Whizzwheels 66 Batmobile I was going to attempt to restore. I got as far as removing the old black paint, and that was it. ! It's still in a drawer somewhere now. Thanks again for posting.

Fantastic work. I don’t mind what car you restore as long as you keep making these excellent videos. Thanks.

This was a fun deviation from the 1:64s. It hurt my OCD a bit to not see the tires swapped out but the end result was sweet. I'd love to see more of these.

I just got a pang of sadness and regret after watching this. I had a yellow submarine with the fab four within (not a bad job on the modelling too). With the push of a button the four popped up from under a die cast lid. With a press of the lid all were concealed again, ready to pop up with a push of the metal button once again. The sub was on wheels as well. I also had a bat mobile containing batman and robin. It fired little red bullets from a push button launcher located at the rear of the seats. If I ever find them again, they're yours to restore. Top quality job, as usual. Thanks, I really enjoyed this restoration.
