Aston Martin DBS On Her Majesty's Secret Service With Skis Minichamps 1:43 436137600-P1 Diecast
1 / 4
Minichamps' 1:43 Aston Martin DBS reproduces George Lazenby's Bond car from On Her Majesty's Secret Service, cast as a sealed one-piece body with the film's roof-mounted ski rack included as an applied detail. The DBS marked Bond's shift from the DB5's gadgetry to a more grounded, GT-focused Aston Martin, and this casting captures that specific film-accurate configuration rather than a generic period DBS.

About the Aston Martin DBS On Her Majesty's Secret Service With Skis Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 Aston Martin DBS reproduces the 1969 On Her Majesty's Secret Service Bond car, complete with the film's roof-mounted ski rack cast as an applied detail on a sealed one-piece body. A film-accurate configuration rather than a generic period DBS, built for Bond collections and Aston Martin displays alike.

George Lazenby's single outing as Bond paired him with an Aston Martin DBS rather than the DB5 that defined Connery's era, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service used the car for a memorable Swiss Alps chase, skis strapped to the roof rack. Minichamps builds this specific configuration rather than a plain road-spec DBS, keeping the ski rack as the model's defining detail.

The DBS in On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Bond's Move from the DB5 to the DBS

On Her Majesty's Secret Service, released in 1969, marked George Lazenby's only appearance as James Bond and introduced the Aston Martin DBS as the character's car, replacing the DB5 that had carried Sean Connery through the franchise's earlier films. The DBS was a genuinely different proposition: a larger, more muscular grand tourer rather than the DB5's compact sports coupe, reflecting Aston Martin's own model progression at the end of the 1960s. The film used the DBS for an extended Swiss Alps pursuit, and the ski rack fitted to the roof for that sequence became one of the more memorable visual details from Lazenby's single outing in the role.

The Roof-Mounted Ski Rack

Unlike the DB5's built-in gadgetry, the DBS in this film carried a comparatively simple accessory: a roof-mounted rack holding a pair of skis, fitted for the Alpine chase sequence rather than as a permanent feature of the car. Minichamps includes that rack and skis as an applied detail on the model, distinct from the body casting itself, which lets the accessory read with real dimensionality rather than being moulded flush into the roofline. It is a small addition, but on a Bond-themed model it is the single detail that identifies which film and which sequence the casting represents, rather than leaving it as a generic period DBS.

Minichamps' Sealed-Body Diecast and the Roof-Mounted Ski Rack

Construction and Period Accuracy

The body itself is cast as a sealed one-piece shell, with the bonnet, doors, and boot moulded into the casting rather than hinged to open. On a GT coupe with the DBS's long bonnet and fastback roofline, that construction lets the tooling hold a continuous, uninterrupted profile, which matters on a car whose proportions were a deliberate departure from the DB5's tighter dimensions. The zinc alloy body carries genuine weight in the hand, and the wheel and grille detailing follow the period-correct DBS specification rather than a later Aston Martin update, keeping the casting anchored to 1969 rather than a generic Aston Martin GT silhouette.

Finishing the Bond-Specific Details

Paint depth on the body reads correctly for a late-1960s Aston Martin finish, with the gloss sitting even across the long bonnet and rear haunches. The applied ski rack is finished separately from the body colour, letting it stand out as the accessory it was in the film rather than blending into the roofline. Badge work and grille detail stay legible at 1:43, and the glazing sits flush enough that the roofline reads as continuous despite the rack mounted above it. For a film-specific casting, getting these small details right is what separates a genuine Bond tie-in from a standard DBS wearing an aftermarket sticker.

A Bond Special Among Aston Martin Miniatures

Film-tie models occupy a specific place in a collection, sitting apart from a straightforward Aston Martin model-year sequence because their appeal rests as much on cinema history as on the car itself. This DBS works well displayed alongside other Bond-era Aston Martins, or equally within a dedicated 1960s Aston Martin run where it stands out as the one wearing genuine film provenance rather than a standard specification. At 1:43, the ski rack adds a small amount of visual interest above the roofline without demanding extra shelf depth, so it fits into a standard cabinet as easily as any other coupe in the range. For anyone building a Bond car collection, it is a comparatively accessible way to add a genuine franchise-specific detail.
