Somewhere in my attic I still have the Matchbook car of this (from the 60’s or 70’s). Spring loaded release buttons for the front rams, the rear window shield and the passenger ejection seat!

I couldn't find a Matchbox James Bond car. You sure it wasn't a Corgi?

Dang, I recall my brother having a fairly good size replica about 1/48 scale.

Yeah - I was wondering about that. It probably was. It was much heavier than a Matchbox car iirc.

Matchbox never made a model of the James Bond Aston. In 1958 they released a replica of an earlier version, the DB 2/4, like the one Lesney Smith, a co-founder of Lesney once owned.

Had the Matchbox car when little. Working features.
Wish I still had that one.
