I must say the 2nd (Silver) issue of the Corgi James Bond Aston Martin, with the addition of the tyre slashers, & revolving number plates. I’m quite lucky as I have examples of most of the 60’s Corgis in a wall cabinet at home. They’re not all mint & boxed though, as I like to ‘play’ with them now & again.. Lol.

My favourite was Corgi’s James Bond Aston Martin DB5 from ‘Goldfinger’.

I used to have”Sam’s car” from the joe 90 series, it was my favourite because it was all chrome and one of the first to have the spring pull back for forward motion.

Had several cool cars, but the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard had to be my fave. Also liked a really detailed police car I had and a Lincoln Continental, both made by Matchbox. Matchbox cars were always realistic then (late 70s/early 80s), with opening doors and “shock absorbers,” and the Hot Wheels were more cartoonish, with huge engines and oversized wheels.
