Yes, this is great. It's the first time I ever felt the Bond car collecting vibe, but I'm very pleased with the Goldfinger Aston Martin model, which has been released in the Netherlands some weeks ago. Especially since the diorama in which it is set features the Swiss Furka Pass, which I travelled last summer.

Still, I'm not going to collect all of the cars. I just want my favourite vehicle of each Bond actor, so six cars in total. Probably Lazenby's, Dalton's, Brosnan's and Craig's Aston, and Roger's white Lotus Esprit from TSWLM (diving mode).

Just received issues 26/27 - Lada 1500 (TLD) & Ford Thunderbird (DAD) respectively. Pretty cool!

I notice that issue 31 is the moon buggy from DAF.

I hope the seaplane in MWTGG will be in a future issue. OK, it is a CAR collection but I got a Little Nellie model as a freebie with my subscription so I guess it is a possibility.

Coming up are the Vanquish, Lotus sub (looks great in the underwater scene!), BMW Z8 (with buzz saw!), the smashed-up 2CV, Lotus Turbo, XKR, Toyota 2000GT, Mustang Mach 1, BMW Z3, Ferrari 355 and Aston V8 (TLD).

Thank you sir

I am to please

A good afternoons work

especially as how the collection model wasn't "damaged"

[Aris007]

I only purchased issues 1-3 and then they stopped publishing them! I ahve to say great quality though!

[volante]

A number of the models are just fillers, and there are a number of duplications but all in all threes years down the line, the collection is a fine exmaple of Bond memorabilia

I'm seeing the Q boat from QOS , and the Dragon tank from Dr. NO
which were not on the original list, so it looks like the collection is continuing

[lazenbyland]

If there could be the equivalent of a Bond fan knighthood, then whoever designs these models deserves one. The detail is exquisite and you can see that they have really done their research on the models.

The OHMSS Aston Martin DBS even has the glove compartment with the gun.

Is there an updated list? I thought they were only running to 85 issues.

So from humble beginings the James Bond car collection began.
The first killing in Dr. No was that of MI6 agent John Strangways.
In a car park next to his Ford Anglia

Strangways was played by Tim Moxon; not an actor, but a dentist.




The first car we see James Bond drive is a Chevrolet Bel Air (after he has disposed of the killer, posing as his chauffeur)



The FIRST BOND car - Sunbeam Alpine



Then waiting for Bond at Crab Key; Dr. No's henchmen, using a Dragon Tank
