 DESCRIPTION

This Corgi Junior is the only example of the DBS ever produced in small-scale diecast. With the matte-black bonnet, it has an American muscle car look and is in fact very like the fast-back Mustang of the same period. This car is the DOHC 6 cyl. version. Aston Martin also produced this car as a V8. The lime green color is a true period color but unlikely for an Aston Martin.
