Bond in Motion.
Discussion
Firstly I wasn't really sure where to post this but General Gassing has a big audience but feel free to move it
Anyone been?
We went on Saturday. It's at the London film museum in Covent Garden.
I'm not a big Bond fan but I really enjoyed it. There seemed to be virtually every mode of transport that Bond has ever used from the iconic DB 5, AM V8 all the way through to DB10. There were crashed ones, partial ones and they're all the actual cars.
There was the Lotus esprit "submarine, the bmws, the Cougar from ohmss and loads more plus all the other transport from a cello case sledge up to the mini jet plane via a crocodile mini sub!
What was particularly good was that behind each item there was a screen showing clips from the film which featured them, so if you didn't recognise them you were soon reminded.
We really enjoyed it and I'd thoroughly recommend a visit

I too saw it when it was at Beaulieu. A must for any Bond fan with pretty much nothing missing.
The one thing that struck me is how cobbled together some of the props are/were.
Granted they only have to look good once but there seemed to be an element of Blue Peter going on.
Bond props have often been a bit shonky on screen too, through the sheer ignorance (or laziness) of the film makers. The one thing that struck me is how cobbled together some of the props are/were.
