I'm sorry, but shouldn't secret agents be...well secret ? Maybe a 10 year old Ford Fiesta in beige ?

I always think he should rock up in that transit that has the xj220 underneath it

A DB10 vs C-X75 chase through Rome sounds cool. I'll take the Defender though.

If you think about it, Aston-Martin was a relatively obscure brand before the DB5 made its, now legendary, appearance in Goldfinger. Apart from a few aging hillclimb enthusiasts who remembered it as "Bamford and Martin", just how well-known was Aston before 1964?

Very well known.

As an aside, James Bond did drive an Aston Martin in Fleming's books. The Bentley was his own personal car, whereas the Aston Martin was a company car, chosen over a Jaguar in Goldfinger.

Who stole the Defender's axles and diffs? Look at the line between the mid-point of the wheels. Nothing there...

I wonder if they have been modified with super high clearance offset drives for some obscure film production reason? Or if they forgot to put them in the model file when they were 3D rendered.
