Minivan

I myself prefer the period Corgi model, which features firing torpedoes. Not bad! I myself need to pick up this version. In fact, the only one I've seen I passed on. |

The various James Bond cars are always unique - this one is no exception. Great piece from Hot Wheels. |

"The Esprit was launched in October 1975... " I can just imagine this car looking V-E-R-Y tiny, sliding down the ways and into the water at it's LAUNCH at the shipyard! |

Nice model - how does this compare to the recently introduced wheeled version in the regular range? |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

Think again, Cody. They are reappearing as older stock on clearance price (2.50) at Walmarts. I got one, and still have yet to figure out: 1.Why? and 2. Can I make it into a custom? |

They appear to be based on the same molds. The dimensions are identical and all the lines match up perfectly, with the exception of course of all the areas that have been changed to reflect the submarine version. Since it's from the Retro Entertainment line, there a few extra tampos, such as the black hood vents and front license plate, but overall they are very similar. ![]()
