They’re on display for one year only to mark the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film series and the 40th anniversary of the National Motor Museum.
Alongside the most famous vehicles like the Aston Martin DB5 and the Lotus Esprit S1, there is a host of treasures dating back to From Russia With Love including the elegant Fairey Huntress Speedboat, Goldfinger’s 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III, the buzzing autogyro from You Only Live Tw ice and Octopussy’s screeching Acrostar Jet alongside cars, bikes, trikes, sleds and boats.Cars used in films starring Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig all feature in the exhibition, and there are a few recordbreakers on display too including the Aston Martin DBS Stunt Car from Casino Royale.
