The toy has many interactive features, reflecting those seen on screen. Mettoy were concerned the toy would look unfinished if the silver paint finish shown in the film was used for their model, so they employed a degree of artistic licence and made it gold to reflect the name of the movie: Goldfinger.","physicalDescription":"Die-cast metal toy car, painted gold, with large roof hatch. A switch on the side causes two spring-loaded guns and rams to protrude from the front of the car. There are two small plastic figures that sit inside the car, one painted as though wearing a black and white dinner jacket and shirt, representing James Bond, and the other in blue overalls, holding a gun, representing a henchman. Pressing the second button on the side releases a spring-loaded ejector seat, causing the henchman to be thrown out via the roof hatch. Pressing the car's exhaust releases a spring-loaded shield in front of the rear window. The seats and dashboard inside the car are formed from injection-moulded red plastic. The car is boxed and comes with a pull out card insert and a leaflet.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"The Mettoy Company plc","id":"AUTH320970"},"association":{"text":"manufacturer","id":"x33306"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"metal","id":"AAT10900"},{"text":"card","id":"x30344"},{"text":"plastic","id":"AAT14570"}],"techniques":[{"text":"die casting","id":"AAT53106"},{"text":"painting","id":"AAT161986"},{"text":"injection moulding","id":"AAT54070"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Die-cast metal, painted, injection moulded plastic, printed card and paper","categories":[{"text":"Children & Childhood","id":"THES48980"},{"text":"Toy vehicles","id":"THES274369"},{"text":"Cars","id":"THES270092"},{"text":"Film and Cinema","id":"THES264410"},{"text":"Character merchandise","id":"THES274371"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"YVA","id":"THES48593"},"images":["2006AE9720","2006AE9735","2006AE9726"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES390295"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES390295"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"SR013","id":"THES341142"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"SR013","id":"THES341142"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"SR013","id":"THES341142"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"SR013","id":"THES341142"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Toy car","id":""}],[{"text":"Figure set","id":""}],[{"text":"Box","id":""}],[{"text":"Box lining","id":""}],[{"text":"Instructions","id":""}],[{"text":"Leaflet","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"No","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Swansea","id":"x30099"},"association":{"text":"manufactured","id":"x29350"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1965","earliest":"1965-01-01","latest":"1965-12-31"},"association":{"text":"manufactured","id":"x29350"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Metal car, James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 made in England by Corgi in the mid 1960s.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"Made by Mettoy for their Corgi range.","productionType":{"text":"Mass produced","id":"THES48863"},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[{"text":"James Bond","id":"AUTH329391"}],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"spies","id":"x36323"},{"text":"automobiles","id":"AAT178739"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["B.14:1-2004","B.14:2-2004","B.14:3-2004","B.14:4-2004","B.14:5-2004","B.14:6-2004"],"accessionNumberNum":"14","accessionNumberPrefix":"B","accessionYear":2004,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE","Toy car","Figure set","Box","Box lining","Instructions","Leaflet"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2026-04-09","recordCreationDate":"2004-11-03","availableToBook":false}}
