Does anyone who has read the script know at which point Bond might be driving the Ford rather than the Aston?

Or would anyone like to have a guess? The car itself is most popular in the UK, which narrows down the choices, but I'd hate this to be Bonds car of choice back home.

No idea where in the script he drives it, but I hope he at least gets the ST model..

He's still driving the Aston (both of them). Most likely the Mondeo will be driven by the bad guys or another supporting character (Felix?). Theres a new model of the Mondeo set to be launched in 2007 so I wouldn't necessarily judge the car based on anything you've seen on the Internet thus far and it may get the same or even less amount of screentime as the Ford Thunderbird got in Die Another Day.

Who knows.

I suppose it could be Bond's car in the pre-title if you think about it. Before being issued a car from MI6 and before getting the DB5.... the man has to probably drive something. Maybe... I haven't seen the script though. This is just a shot in the dark.

Could possibly just be a car he "borrows" to give chase...

Could be a company car or merely an airport rental ...

makes total sense to me.

I guess it would be a car he picks on the street to pursue the "bad guy".

It's not that he won't drive the Aston Martin, if you please would read this, you might find it useful:

I didnt mean he wouldnt drive the Aston at all...

My thinking was that the Mondeo would most likely be driven in the UK, but from reading the script reviews it doesn't seem like there will be much screen time for the UK. The only part I can think of is the breaking into M's house.

Perhaps it will break down like this...

DB5-Bahamas
DBS-Montenegro
Mondeo-Italy
