As most (if not all) of you already know by now, Corgi's 261 Aston Martin D.B.5 was created from an amended mould of an existing D.B.4 (218) in order to meet the Christmas market of 1965. Apparently it was quicker to customise an existing mould than create an entirely new one from scratch, and three designers/engineers were tasked with adding the car's three working features. Although the Bond version says D.B.5 on the base, the tail lights give the game away, but at least Corgi changed the headlights into D.B.5 ones.
