Auto World 1971 Lotus Espirit Series 1 (The Spy Who Loved Me) 1:18 Scale Diecast Model

If you are the kind of collector that keeps everything in it's original box, and you're after this James Bond car, this is it. However, if you want to display this on it's own, you will have to prepare yourself. My model is displayed with the wheels down (road version). So to do this, you have to dis-assemble the water wing version (as shipped) and pull down the wheels and snap the bottom on. You will have to shave a bit off the wheel arms off to make this possible. Now these arms are made of cast, so beware. That being said, it also comes with all the roof toppings for underwater use. So you will have to take them off and use the round plugs supplied. Forgot to mention the front and rear bumpers, but there just push on. Have a good day!

Fallas de pintura, imposible retirar pieza para bajar llantas delanteras,, la palanca para mover los faros delanteros no funcionó, llantas posteriores frenadas por la pieza que cubre el sitio donde se recogen las llantas, en definitiva un auto con algunos errores de calidad. No recomendaría su compra.Al no haber muchas opciones de autos de la saga de James Bond en escala 1:18, toca conformarse con este auto. Peor es nada.

I had to tweak this thing a bit to get the wheels to come down and lock in place. The tolerances are quite tight and the cast aluminum pieces don’t really do the job without some massaging and scraping.
