The largest collection of original James Bond Vehicles is now displayed at the London Film Museum at Covent Garden.

TFB had a look – with the focus on the firearms, rockets and other similar things used in the James Bond movies.

“Bond in Motion” is the official exhibition of James Bond vehicles and it’s the largest display of its kind ever staged in London.

James Bond first hit the big screen in 1962, when Ian Fleming’s 007 was introduced to cinema audiences around the world as the double o agent in Dr No. Half a century and six Bonds later, the franchise is now one of the longest running in cinema history.

In the main exhibition space the numerous vehicles on display include the archetypal Bond car, the Aston Martin DB5, Goldfinger’s majestic Rolls-Royce Phantom III and the unforgettable Lotus Esprit S1 submersible from The Spy Who Loved Me. Displayed alongside less predictable 007 modes of transport such as the Citroën 2CV and the Crocodile Submarine the exhibit also includes a variety of aircraft, boats and motorcycles.

 

This is not Madame Tussauds, but there is a vax figure of James Bond at the entrance. “Helicopter” from You Only Live Twice.

Bond’s trigger discipline is not the best!

Aston Martin V12 Vanquish from Die Another Day 2002, with some deadly “special options”. Bombardier MX Rev Ski-Doo in the background.

These creative action vehicles play a pivotal role in all 23 movies and continue to propel James Bond to the cutting-edge of cinematic espionage. There are no replicas – every vehicle exhibited is an original used for filming. The majority are loaned from the archive of EON Productions who produce the movies and the Ian Fleming Foundation who have located and restored many of the vehicles.

I’m not sure where the V12 engine had to go for all this to fit.

Ingram MAC 10 like machine guns, rockets and some other large caliber guns.
