- Complete in depth video guide from start to finish on how to successfully restore a Corgi 261 James Bond Aston Martin.
"If you decide to use the stripping process I have used at the beginning of this video IT IS VERY DANGEROUS ! PLEASE WEAR GLOVES AND GOGGLES AS USING CAUSTIC SODA IN THIS WAY WILL BURN YOUR SKIN AND IRRITATE YOUR EYES SO BE VERY CAREFUL ! ALSO MAKE SURE THE PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE SOLUTION ARE THOROUGHLY RINSED AFTERWARDS! On the other hand there are other ways in which to strip paint, ie paint stripper etc.

Hi Bob, just wanted to thank you for this video (well all of them really) this video was invaluable to me for my restoration and I couldn’t have got it back together without your knowledge, thanks heaps!
thanks once again Bob much appreciated the time you put into these
Hi Bob, I love it when you do not destroy your video with music that covers over what you say in the video. Way to go Bob.
Really enjoyed the video Bob, cheers mate.
Just bought six. Three gold three silver all 60s glad spares available. They may look rough till you restore but it's worth it
That silver one is what I had in the 70's as a child! I remember it had rotating license plates, and was painted silver which is film accurate. Within an hour of unboxing it, the man in the ejector seat flew off never to be seen again. That was my favorite toy car because it did so many cool things. The roof eventually vanished, and the ejector seat broke away. It was a well loved and well played with toy that eventually became a broken mess. I would LOVE to have a restored one, but that style is hard to find and out of my price range.
Interesting, thanks for the video. Incidentally Corgi re-released the gold 261 one today on their website, purchased one earlier.
I just got one of these in the post today. So I was hoping you had done one up on video, to show me the way on how to restore it. Mine is missing the roof and both figures and it needs a new glass. I got it cheap so I don't mind spending the bucks on this iconic car. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours.
Omg this brings back memories ! Thanks for posting
Hi Bob, I was wondering what rivets you're using and where to get them. Good vids, cheers
Very very good job I have one of these they are very hard to put right
Hi Bob, excellent videos, I’m thinking about starting doing some restorations, please could you offer me some advice on where I could stop buying parts? As in rivets, and paint to suit the models
Hi Bob how do you put the ejector seat back in with the spring. Is there a video on how to replace the ejector seat. Thanks
Hi Bob, hope you and the missus are keeping well, I have just watched your video for the 261
Hello Bob.., question for you.. where can I find the 2 small bottom revits for the Aston Martin 270 and the 271model (are they the same) ? I do not see them on the main list... Or I've my overlooked...? Thanks
Hello Bob! I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your videos. You do an amazing job restoring these cars and your videos are full of useful information! I look forward to seeing more videos like this. I was wondering if you had considered selling any of the cars you've restored. I'd be very interested in a 267 Batmobile and a 270 Bond car.
Hi Bob, great video!
Top man !
Bob have you ever done one of the slightly bigger ones released later by Corgi
Hi Bob, great video thanks! I’m just in the process of putting mine together. Does the driver get ‘glued’ in or not please? Thank you
