Corgi’s official Aston Martin Bond cars from Casino Royale

Or go for the top of the range – very ‘Bond’ – one of just 300
highly Limited Edition gift sets which will set you back £249.99.

For that you get a
detailed ‘first shot’* of not only the Aston Martin DBS, from
Casino Royale, but also James Bond’s iconic signature car – the
Aston Martin DB5 making a reappearance in the latest film. Both are
signed by the engineer responsible for their recreation in miniature
and come in a beautiful mahogany box. The set is completed by a
unique Casino Royale poker plaque made by Carta Mundi© who
produced the actual poker plaques and chips seen in the film.

And Corgi’s also got
something for everyone in between! |

Aston Martin DB5
Mirror Car
Finally, for something completely different, take a look at this
brand new design innovation. It has a mirrored side which features
half of the Aston Martin DB5 reflected to show the complete vehicle
through the mirror, while on the opposite side the body has been
removed to reveal its inner workings. |
|
For real Bond
aficionados there are specification details and other 007 secrets.
The Aston Martin DB5 Mirror Car will hit shop shelves in March 2007,
to coincide with the release of Casino Royale on DVD.
*A ‘first shot’ is a particularly rare model as it’s one of the
first three hundred out of the cast. |
