Yes we all know in the book he owned a Bentely (I've found the same Bentely Bond had and I am repairing it, will be done in a year. But later on the books like Goldfinger he started to drive different cars like the Aston Martin. 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

"where he's married to his bentley. "
Only to Thunderball were he changes to a Marc 1 1 Cont'nental Bentley ( the or'g'nal Bentely was destroyed 'n MR) ..........that Bond had re-bu'lt from a wrec.
And what ever happnd to the Stud'allac from DAF?? a very cool car from the '50s.

i was under the impression that he sudallac was something that felix had custom made. I never knew that they were actually a mass produced model. i wish i could get me a toyonda :)

there always seems like there's a nostalgia for the bentley throughout the books. i always thought it would be a nice throwback to stick bond in a bentley in the films. bentley makes some pretty sweet sportscars nowadays.

I'm not sure if the Studillac was mass produced but you could have one made. Felix's description of where to get one and how it was made was prob'ly accurate.
The Studebaker was very aerodynamic for its time and with a Cadillac engine dropped in would haul ass!
I could dig seeing 007 in another Bentely - even a modern one.
