Here's another wonderful book to add to my James Bond book collection. There's a wealth of detailed information about the cars (& other vehicles) from every official Bond film from Dr No to No Time To Die. The author even mentions vehicles seen only briefly in the films & there are also some lovely stories about the making of every film as well.
If this wasn't enough there are a huge amount of photographs, some covering a whole page (or even two pages) which enhance the book considerably. Some of the photographs are rare & seeing publication for the first time. A truly outstanding book, guaranteed to delight any fan of the James Bond films, & a brilliant start to my 2022 reading.

Strictly for the car fanatic. Contains some interesting behind the scene nuggets and a pile of great photos.

Weird to be a little emotional about finishing a book about cars in Bond movies but this is the beginning of the end of my Bottled ‘n’ Bond podcast journey (at least until Bond 26). This was an invaluable resource and piqued my interest in cars more than I’ve had for years, if ever.

Very interesting background on the cars broken out by each movie.

I gave it 5 stars but I’m a James Bond fan I think it has way to much “detail” for a casual fan
