I ran across this nice article on Bond's Bentleys written for a Bentley website. Thought I'd share.

Once again Mr. Asterix, you've unearthed a wonderful little gem.

Good stuff!

I recently (in my unending search for a DB5) saw a wonderfully restored '58 S1 coupe (midnight blue and RHD). Nice;)

Good article.

Nice article . I have all way want to see what the Bentley that Literary Bond drove looked like . To bad Cinematic Bond only drove one once . Briefly in the film "FRWL" .

Would people like to see Bond in a Bentley again . I know Gardner had him in one for a few books . This after the "SAAB" . Benson put him a everyman's Jaguar . There something special about Bond in a exotic car .
