ONE of Hampshire’s top tourist attractions is taking part in tomorrow’s celebrations to mark Global James Bond Day.
The National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, will give a Bond-related gift to the first 50 people through the doors after it opens at 10am.
The museum is staging the Bond In Motion exhibition, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first 007 movie Dr No.
A large number of the cars and boats used in Bond films are on show until the end of the year. They include the Aston Martin DB5 from GoldenEye, the Lotus S1 submarine car from The Spy Who Loved Me and the Jaguar XKR from Die Another Day.
Bond girls Britt Ekland, Jenny Hanley and Madeline Smith are among the celebrities who have visited Beaulieu to see the display.
