CARS OF THE BOND MOVIES DVD

Part of the James Bond legend as Vodka Martinis and M, since the iconic secret agent hit the silver screen in 1962 and indeed since Ian Fleming's earliest James Bond novels, the eye-catching cars have been as much stars if the 007 franchise as the actors who have played the role. This fascinating 50 minute colour programme pays homage to the incredible vehicles that have wowed generations of fans from the 4½ litre Bentley Blower of the books to the awesome 510bhp Aston Martin DBS V12 driven by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. We count down the ten most notable Bond cars, examine the role of vehicles in the creation of the 007 legend and consider what the future holds. Experts, enthusiasts, fans and owners give their views as well as discuss the unforgettable stunts, amazing gadgets and controversial choices. There are contributions from Charlie Higson and stunt co-ordinator Steve Truglia. The cars featured also include the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish as seen in Die Another Day, BMW 750il as seen in Tomorrow Never Dies, the Citroen 2CV as seen in For Your Eyes Only, the Lotus Esprit S1 as seen in The Spy Who Loved Me, the AMC Hornet X as seen in The Man With the Golden Gun and even the Sunbeam Alpine Series II as seen in Dr No. A gleaming, powerful muscle car, high-tech, clean and sleek-lined car showroom to thrill us once again.
