Corgi Aston Martin DB10 CC08003: Spectre 1:36 Guide
Corgi item CC08003 is an officially licensed 1:36 diecast model of the silver Aston Martin DB10 created for the 2015 James Bond film Spectre. The current Corgi release measures approximately 11.5 centimeters long, 5.8 centimeters wide, and 3.8 centimeters high and is supplied in special presentation packaging for the film’s tenth anniversary.
The full-size DB10 was revealed on December 4, 2014, built exclusively for Spectre, and never offered as a normal production car. The miniature belongs to Corgi’s 2025 anniversary re-release, not the film’s 2015 model year. Its permanent identifiers are manufacturer item CC08003, store SKU F977-CC08003, and full EAN 5063129044961.

2014 reveal, 2015 film, 2025 Corgi re-release
The DB10 was unveiled during the Spectre production announcement at Pinewood Studios on December 4, 2014. The film reached cinemas in 2015. Corgi’s current CC08003 page identifies the miniature as a tenth-anniversary re-release, placing this presentation in 2025.
Those dates describe three separate events. The DB10’s public reveal occurred in 2014, its film identity belongs to 2015, and this Corgi presentation belongs to the 2025 anniversary range. The model should not be described as a 2025 Aston Martin road car, because the full-size DB10 was never a public production model.
A car created specifically for Spectre
Aston Martin developed the DB10 with the filmmakers specifically for the 24th James Bond film. The project used a modified V8 Vantage foundation beneath a bespoke carbon-fiber body and introduced design ideas that later appeared in Aston Martin road cars.
Corgi’s official history states that ten DB10s were constructed: three hero cars and seven vehicles prepared for specific action work during the Rome chase. The cars were built for filming and promotion rather than a normal customer production run.
One authentic DB10 was later sold for charity, but the model remained unavailable as an ordinary showroom Aston Martin. That limited full-size history should not be converted into a claim that the Corgi miniature is limited to ten examples. The ten-car figure belongs to the film vehicles, not the diecast production quantity.
The DB10’s role in the film
Within Spectre, the DB10 was intended for Agent 009 after James Bond’s unsanctioned actions in Mexico City. Bond takes the car from Q Branch and drives it to Rome while investigating the organization SPECTRE. The DB10 is then pursued through the city by Mr. Hinx in a Jaguar C-X75.
The screen car carries fictional Q-Branch equipment, including a rear-facing weapon system, flame effect, and an escape mechanism. Those are plot devices and full-size film props. Corgi’s 1:36 model does not include working weapons, flame effects, an ejection mechanism, lights, sounds, batteries, or remote control.
How to confirm the exact CC08003 release
- Read the item number. The package should identify CC08003.
- Match the EAN. The full code is 5063129044961.
- Verify the vehicle. The subject is the Aston Martin DB10, not a DB9, DB11, Vantage, or DB5.
- Confirm the film. Look for James Bond 007 and Spectre branding.
- Check the finish. The body should use Corgi’s high-shine silver presentation.
- Match the scale. Corgi’s official technical specification identifies 1:36.
- Check the size. The model should measure approximately 11.5 cm long.
- Inspect the format. No opening panels or working gadgets are identified.
- Match the packaging. The current release uses tenth-anniversary presentation packaging.
- Compare the exact image. Muncle Mikes currently has one product image for item CC08003.
Correcting the 1:32 and 1:36 conflict
Some reseller descriptions call CC08003 a 1:32 model, while Corgi’s official technical specification lists 1:36. The published dimensions also support Corgi’s scale designation more closely. Muncle Mikes uses the manufacturer’s 1:36 specification.
Do not rely on a marketplace title alone when choosing a display case or comparing the model with another Bond car. Use the exact 11.5 × 5.8 × 3.8 centimeter dimensions and item CC08003. A true 1:32 DB10 would be noticeably larger.
Right-hand-drive interior
The model represents the British right-hand-drive DB10 configuration used in the film. At this scale, the steering wheel is easiest to inspect through the windshield under bright, indirect light.
Do not press on the glazing or attempt to separate the body to see the dashboard. The model is designed as a finished display piece. A left-hand-drive DB10 miniature, even in silver, would require a separate exact-product record.
High-shine silver finish
The silver paint emphasizes the DB10’s long hood, narrow lamps, sculpted flanks, flush-looking door treatment, broad rear shoulders, and low roof. It also shows fingerprints, dust, and fine surface marks easily.
- Use broad, diffused light for inspection.
- Handle the model beneath the chassis.
- Use a blower or very soft brush for loose dust.
- Avoid alcohol, adhesive remover, automotive polish, and abrasive cloths.
- Do not repeatedly rub one fingerprint spot.
- Keep the model away from prolonged direct sunlight and high heat.
Reflections from the packaging window can make the silver appear darker, warmer, or more metallic. Use the item number and package rather than screen color alone.
No opening doors or panels are identified
The prior supplier description claimed opening doors, but Corgi’s current official product page does not list any opening feature. Treat the doors, hood, trunk, fuel opening, and body seams as fixed.
Do not insert a blade, fingernail, or pick into a panel gap. Small mirrors, grille parts, window trim, and body edges can be damaged by force. If a panel does not move with extremely light pressure at an obvious factory hinge, stop.
Wheels and tires
Corgi identifies CC08003 as a finished diecast model but does not publish a working-steering or tire-material specification on the current official page. Some specialist retailers describe rotating wheels and rubber tires across Corgi’s film-vehicle range, but the exact package should control.
- Do not force the front wheels to steer.
- Roll the model only if the wheels move freely without pressure.
- Do not pull the car by one wheel.
- Avoid tire dressing, oil, and household cleaner.
- Keep the model on a level surface so it cannot roll into another collectible.
The tenth-anniversary re-release
Corgi describes the current CC08003 as a re-release for the film’s tenth anniversary, with improved carbon-fiber representation and more visible vent detail. That wording separates the current presentation from earlier DB10 miniatures even when the subject and item number appear familiar.
When cataloging an example, photograph the package front, back, and item label. If an earlier package uses the same code, record the package generation and copyright line rather than assuming every CC08003 box is visually identical.
DB10 versus later Aston Martin road cars
The DB10 was not a DB11 prototype sold under another name. It was a bespoke film vehicle built on modified V8 Vantage architecture. Its design language nevertheless influenced later Aston Martins, especially the 2018 V8 Vantage.
Collectors should keep the following identities separate:
- DB10: Ten full-size film and promotional cars created for Spectre; never a normal production model.
- V8 Vantage: Production road car whose later design language reflects some DB10 themes.
- DB11: Separate production grand tourer introduced after the film.
- DB5: The classic Bond Aston Martin associated with earlier films and a different Corgi model family.
Planning the display footprint
The model measures approximately 4.53 inches long, 2.28 inches wide, and 1.50 inches high. The presentation box requires additional space and should be measured directly before ordering fitted shelving.
- Use a case’s internal measurements.
- Leave clearance around the mirrors and bumpers.
- Keep enough height to remove the model or inner tray safely.
- Do not crowd the car against a DB5 or another silver model where finishes can rub.
- Retain the package for transport and identification.
Presentation packaging and completeness
A complete current CC08003 presentation includes the silver DB10, its fitted inner support, and the special tenth-anniversary box. No figure, alternate weapon part, flame effect, removable roof, battery, controller, or separate display stand is identified.
- Inspect the clear window for cracks, dents, and scuffs.
- Check the box corners, edges, and printed Bond graphics.
- Confirm that the model remains secured and does not rub the window.
- Keep CC08003 and EAN 5063129044961 legible.
- Record any substituted insert or package.
Package condition and model condition should be documented separately.
Arrival checklist
- Confirm manufacturer item CC08003.
- Match full EAN 5063129044961.
- Verify the Aston Martin DB10 and Spectre identity.
- Confirm the silver finish, right-hand-drive cabin, and 1:36 specification.
- Compare the model and package with the exact Muncle Mikes image.
- Inspect the paint, glazing, mirrors, grille, vents, wheels, lamps, and trim.
- Do not force the doors, hood, or trunk.
- Check that any wheel movement is free and unstressed.
- Inspect the anniversary package and inner support.
- Photograph all sides, package, item label, and barcode.
Who should choose this release
Corgi CC08003 is a strong fit for James Bond collectors, Spectre displays, Aston Martin model lineups, film-vehicle collections, and buyers who want the anniversary presentation of the purpose-built DB10. Its exact appeal comes from the licensed film identity, silver 1:36 model, special package, and manufacturer code—not from unsupported opening features or a claim that the miniature is one of only ten.
Final identification check
The exact release is the Corgi 1:36 Aston Martin DB10 from James Bond’s Spectre, manufacturer item CC08003. The current tenth-anniversary version is painted high-shine silver, measures approximately 11.5 × 5.8 × 3.8 centimeters, and is supplied in special presentation packaging. It represents the bespoke DB10 created for the 2015 film; ten full-size cars were built, but the miniature’s production quantity is not established by that number. No opening panels or working Q-Branch gadgets are identified. Permanent identifiers are store SKU F977-CC08003 and EAN 5063129044961.
