BOND in MOTION 50 Vehicles. 50 Years

Die Another Day - Pierce Brosnan

Jaguar XKR Convertible An epic car chase between diamond studded henchman, Zao, in this Jaguar and Bond is his Aston Martin V12 Vanquish is played out across a frozen lake and inside the melting Ice Palace. The Jaguar was equipped with an impressive arsenal including a rear mounded Gatling Gun, door mounted missiles, mortars in the boot, rockets in the fascia grille, hydraulic battering ram system and thermal imaging system. The stunning green paintwork which is exclusive to this vehicle, is a blend of the standard paint finish and pure gold at a cost of nearly £2,000 per litre.

The World of James Bond 007 is full of action, excitement, drama and danger. The high octane, all action car and vehicle chases are at the heart of the Bond franchise. There is unique story behind every vehicle and every death defying stunt culminates in the exhilarating screen image. From speed boats leaping roads and cars submerging to exotic locations, ranging from tropical islands to the North Pole the action never ceases. Vehicles with gadgets and armouries add to the thrills with Bond having to be ever more resourceful in his battles with the increasingly technical and sophisticated villains. BOND in MOTION is the story of the vehicles that keep the man behind the wheel moving and how the thrill a minute chase sequences pushed man and machine to the limit.

This new exhibition to Beaulieu is the world's largest official collection of original James Bond vehicles, on display for 2012 only, featuring 50 vehicles from the Bond films.
