The 1965 Aston Martin DB6 was the successor to the DB5, which was made world famous in the Bond movies of that era. Dinky Toys made a convertible DB5 and a conventional DB6 Coupé, which will be our patient for this week.

I totally agree with you on the disappointment over the dashboard sticker, but this was always Dinly's weak point - even when Corgi made very nicely detailed dashboards, Dinky just kept doing the stickers. Of course, that does have one advantage: you can have the dash in more than one colour, where Corgi's detailed ones remained unpainted, so it was probably a deliberate choice by Dinky, prefering a flat 2-tone sticker over a detailed, but unpainted sculpted dash.
Oh, and that little joke about the sneeze, really made me smile, haha!
