@RailGooner (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=5427) I normally 'get' your avatar, but you've got me foxed this week. Why do we have Telly Savalas playing Kojak?

"Who loves ya baby?!"  :D Just a bit of nostalgia. It's the offically licensed Gorgi toy from back in the day - a Buick Regal 290 - one of my favourite childhood toys and TV shows.

I had that DB5 too, when I was very, very young. I quickly lost the ejected passenger and Mum wrote to Gorgi asking if a replacement could be obtained. Top marks to Gorgi who sent a bag of 100 - kept me going for a bit.  :D

Mine came with two, but I lost one.

That model is in front of me as I type this, by the way. $$$$$?

Mine probably came with two too then - half a century has past since then so...

Yours looks very clean and with original packaging, so yes, $$$$$! Better keep that remaining passenger safe.
