Has anyone got a favourite?

For me, a toss up beteen the DB5 and the Silver Shadow 2....
but I think the latter would suit me best at my age!

Surely the DB7 should be everyone's favourite in here.

I noticed James Bond's women are all lined up in a new book....... James Bond pictures show 007 and his women as you've never seen them before | Mail Online



Anybody'd think there was a new movie coming out soon.......

I suppose it's got to be the DB5 - as classic as it gets; Though the Lotus Esprit's were always my favourite at the time - esp. the turbo model in For Your Eyes Only.

Looks a good book. Caroline Munro looking as gorgeous as ever

In the book, Doctor No, James Bond drives an Austin A30.....now that would have seen off the villains.....and possibly the girls too.

Oh my.............though to be fair they were durable little cars though, still plenty in use in the 70's, a fair number today..........

How wonderful to see Ken Wallis taking part in the launch.

I couldn't see the invisible car in that slide show......

I remember (some years ago now) on an 007 Club tour of Pinewood, seeing two of the Astons used in The Living Daylights gathering dust in a garage at the back of the studios. Also in there was a model of the Acrostar micro-jet and some other 007 paraphernalia. One keen fan got his cheque book out straight away, only to be told by Iris Rose that the cars would be reverted back to a normal state and sold on through a secondhand car dealership - albeit a rather exclusive one, I suspect...

Well Im a rag top man and always fancied this little white sportster, just to be different, even though it is a GT with the roof chopped off for filming, curiously the car for the close up driving shots with back projection is a Sunbeam Alpine, obviously they were done back at Pinewood so why ship back a car from Japan when you can simply use any old white rag top for those shots. I'll have the Toyota, not the Sunbeam.
