Here's a bit of YouTube fun- I was just watching a clip from a Magnum episode in which our favourite P.I visits good old Engerland; he does the usual thing that all English people do of course- stay in a castle and drive a vintage Bentley. But not any old Bentley, no it's a 1937 4 1/2 Litre drophead coupe, registration number DYM 800- probably best known to us lot as being Bond's car in Never Say Never Again. A fun little coincidence:

I think Tom Selleck is a Bentley fan and knows his cars. I think he may have bought several over the years from a British dealer and shipped them home.

Yeah, pretty decent cast: Pamela Salem is in there too, who was Moneypenny in NSNA- so Magnum drives Bond's car and meets Moneypenny from the same movie!
