They were the same thing except the Tiger had a V8 engine.
Sort of a poor man’s Cobra.

Those would be rather big and heavy.
30 caliber would make more sense.

Agent Maxwell Smart also drove a Sunbeam.
Yes. Then he drove Mustang convertibles, and an Opel GT in the last season.

I couldn't find a Matchbox James Bond car. You sure it wasn't a Corgi? Matchbox never made a model of the James Bond Aston. In 1958 they released a replica of an earlier version, the DB 2/4, like the one Lesney Smith, a co-founder of Lesney once owned.

Nice! Thanks.
During the 60s, my mom used to buy me one Matchbox car a week. Couldn’t wait for that day. Had a great collection at one time. Years later, figuring I was grown and didn’t need or want them anymore, threw them in the garbage!
I would have loved to still have that collection, solely for the memories. I doubt I would ever have sold them.

OH, NO! But just like my 64 Chevy, back then nobody thought they'd ever by worth anything big. I still collect Matchbox. It all started when my aunt and uncle bought me a bunch of them for my 9th birthday and I just kept adding to it. You know what they say

Had the Matchbox car when little. Working features.
Wish I still had that one.

My father took me and my sister to see this car at the Norfolk, VA Sears around 1965. It was absolutely beautiful. I remember the trunk was open. There was a tank, like an oxygen tank inside. Sears was giving away toy DB5’s (post #34). My sister won one. I got it for Christmas. If you pulled the antenna up and down, the rear tag would rotate. I think there’s a picture of this feature on the box. The picture on the upper left.

I can’t count the number of times I wished I had some of the “improvements” that Aston Martin had!

I was shocked that not only do they still make a lot of the old-school Matchbox type toy cars, they're making them cooler than ever.
For example...

Same is true on the plastic scale-model front.
Not only is the hobby still around, but they're building them better than ever...
Check out this thread I posted last year. There's way too much to re-post here....
Plastic model car hot rods & customs (many pics)

Not only the models, but the paint as well. Testers makes some of the old Chrysler colors, Plum Crazy, Purple Passion, etc as well as the authentic engine colors, Ford blue, Chevy orange, under license from the carmakers.
