Rare special edition 1:18th scale RC2/ERTL James Bond cars confirmed

23-Apr-2007 • Collecting

UK and US fans of the 1:18th scale collectible James Bond car range by RC2/ERTL should keep their eyes out for an extra special fully chromed Underwater Lotus.

As a bonus, a few models were shipped in full chrome rather than the traditional white paint, but you have to look for them - much like searching for a golden ticket in a Willy Wonka chocolate bar.

Also available to US fans only is a totally gold DB5 as featured in Goldfinger.

For the keen fans keep and eye out in stockists and on Ebay, as RC2/ERTL have officially confirmed to MI6 that the cars are out there.

RC2/ERTL issued 8 cars in 2005 and 2006. Click here for complete coverage of the range on MI6.
