Lazenby's was a beaut, all right.
Best looking Bond car, best looking Aston... oof, those lines.
I still say give him an updated Bentley, as they've been giving him updated Astons.
I think that beautiful 1930s Bentley could be used in a very small scene in the future.... James Bond blowing off steam at an old race car track where he's stored a car he inherited (from his uncle Ian).
He's blowing laps around the track when M calls him back to the office... Or something not nearly as bad as that. But damn, that Bentley should show up in a Bond film (Union Jack on the door as well!).
When I first saw AVTAK I thought he looked pretty good, leaner and a bit younger, except when he moved.
On the cool clothes I have two words against that: track suit. Although I dig the riding clothes.
One could say Bond driving an old relic like the 1964 Aston Martin in the 2000s is no different to Fleming Bond driving a 1930 Bentley in the 1950s.
I would like to see the 1930 Bentley make a cameo at least.
Sounds like something from Trigger Mortis, a book to adapt.
If you think about it the films have never touched on that. Bond driving on film is nearly always on a mission or something related. The only example of him driving in his own time to my memory is driving up to the hotel with his golf clubs at the beginning of OHMSS. Any others?
On the same note Bond's 'own' cars have always been company cars. Or he has driven something he's nicked.
It wouldn't be a huge leap to have him own a vintage Bentley as a hobby, it would fit the Fleming character for sure.
I prefer Connery's Bentley in NSNA to any and every of the BMW's used during the Brosnan era.
I also prefer the Bentley in NSNA to the newer Aston Martins as seen in CR and QOS.
Yeeeesssss!!! +1.
I wouldn't go that far, but I do agree with @ToTheRight's original post.
On a similar note, I consider OP's Alfa Romeo to be the nicest looking car sans gadgets.
I prefer the Aston Martin Vanquish from Die Another Day over the DBS in Casino/Quantum.
I'm assuming this is controversial.
I agree that the car itself is definitely more handsome.
Very. The DBS is a top of the range manly sleek work of art. The Vanquish is a bit small and girly!!
VS
Both are beauties. 🤔
I think I gotta go with Craig's DBS. Sexier, more stylish.
Completely disagree, the Vanquish is sleek, gorgeous and simple. The colour is just perfect, it only exemplifies this.
The DBS on the other hand is dark, aggressive and overly sculpted.
Just my opinion, of course.
Let's not associate every detail with the film in question. CR is a better film than DAD, no question about it, but the Vanquish has a much more stylish design than the more aggressive-looking DBS.
Nah, that was the DB9, but you can't blame them not handing that one to Bond. Still, I'd go for the DBS as well, just a bit better proportioned and especially the back looks better.
A far sight prettier than the DB10.
A colleague of mine has one in a dark navy. Beautiful.
He looks half-asleep and incredibly pissed off with the role in YOLT, and all of the behind-the-scenes stuff with how disgruntled he was at the paparazzi and with Saltzman seems to back this up.
