Great article Dave. Interesting to see how they thought longevity was important in kids toys…..these days they would probably let it break so they could sell another one……Thanks everybody.
@Neil Merryweather Neil, it was Corgi who produced the gold DB5 first of all in 1965 and then a silver one in various versions. Silver was the correct colour and you can read the story of the gold one, here.

Also interesting that they mention the Green Hornet car turkey…..I had that one. I asked for the Batmobile for Xmas, and got the Green Hornet car LOL…..never heard of it….neither had I and I still have no idea why my parents bought me that one……mind you, I also got a Liverpool football kit that year…..and I’m a Leeds fan…..surprised I didn’t need therapy really…..
