Graham Rye has just posted an amazing picture gallery from the 1996 Paris Motor Show Bond display (which he helped put together). I never realized just how many Bond vehicles were at this show. Love that each and every film (up to that time) had it's own display. Anyway, check it out.

I remember reading about this in 007 magazine. It was a great idea for an exhibit, and I see that it was executed excellently. Surprised that the Moon Buggy wasn't there-guess it was in Vegas by that time.

I went to that. An awful lot of the vehicles were replicas which was quite disappointing (note the LALD bus has the roof missing when it should be the whole top deck; wrong model of Rolls for AVTAK; wrong colour Bentley for FRWL; wrong wheelbase Land Rover for TLD; French registered Mustang in DAF, and many other small errors), but many of these vehicles are rare so they did well to get so many similar ones to the ones in the films. I still have the brochure somewhere. And I remember seeing Rye there as well.
The AVTAK taxis were quite impressive!

Nice, very nice. I especially like the Aston Martin from TLD.

Grief - missed this story.

What a job to gather that lot. Forgiveable for the odd error as there are large number of items to source there. Impressive.
