Comments & clarif ications

KEEPING THE BRITISH END UP • From childhood dream to restoration nightmare: one man’s epic journey to create not one but two of the most faithful James Bond Esprits ever built

THE FAST AND THE CURIOUS • One car springs to mind when James Bond is mentioned, and Aston Martin has reaped the rewards ever since. But there is far more classic interest that has carried 007 over the years, some of it albeit only briefly – but long enough to catch the attention of C&SC, as our 10 varied picks show

M’s PERFO RMANCE • Bond’s cars have long celebrated the best of British, but in the late 1990s 007 enjoyed an affair with BMW. We track down his German mistresses

FUN-LOVING CRIMINALS • It’s not just Bond who gets to enjoy himself at the wheel of desirable cars – the 007 franchise’s arch villains also have a taste for automotive finery

THE PRODUCER’S • What better to chauffeur around a James Bond co-creator than one of the finest seven-seater limousines, the Rolls-Royce Phantom V?

ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM V

BORN TO ASTONISH • Whether it’s the Bond link, the looks or the power, Aston Martins continue to hold a special mystique

BOLSTER’S BABY •...
