Two Aston Martins appear in Casino Royale, and Scalextric put both on one track. The Scalextric Casino Royale set, C1254, was a limited edition released in 2010: a Aston Martin DB5 and an Aston Martin DBS on a large figure-of-eight circuit with a bridge, both fitted with Magnatraction.
Owning it now
The set is out of production, so it is a collector’s find, found second-hand rather than new. Our button runs a search on eBay. If you want a Bond Scalextric set in current production, Scalextric’s UK site lists more generic James Bond sets, including the C1447M with the DB5 and a second Aston Martin and the Micro Scalextric G1171M. When buying a boxed older set, ask the seller whether the cars, track and controllers are all present and in working order.
In the same spirit
If you would rather have a Casino Royale car in current form, the Scalextric Aston Martin DB5 Limited Edition C3162A is a single 1:32 slot car of the DB5 from the film. It is an alternative to the C1254 set, not the set itself.
