James Bond’s most memorable vehicles as No Time to Die hits screens, from Sean Connery’s helicopter in You Only Live Twice to Pierce Brosnan’s Aston Martin DB5 in Goldeneye
- ‘Bond in Motion’ is a new exhibition at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles coinciding with the 60th anniversary of the James Bond movie franchise
- Some vehicles appeared in more than one film such as the 1964 Aston Martin DB5, which was used in Goldeneye, Tomorrow never Dies, Skyfall and No Time To Die
The James Bond universe is known for certain things: martinis, zippy one-liners, villainous villains. And, of course, cars.
On the heels of the global release of the latest Bond film, No Time To Die, cars are the central focus of an exhibition at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles which is expected to run until the end of October.
“Bond in Motion” features more than 30 vehicles from the Bond franchise, spanning the 24 films released before No Time to Die. The exhibition includes cars as well as motorcycles, watercraft, aeroplanes and helicopters – any vehicle the unflappable secret agent used to escape certain death or track down evildoers.
The show is the largest of its kind to be seen in the US, and it was also timed to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the 007 films. The first, Dr No, came out in 1962.
The exhibition feels as cool and modern as every Bond film. Previously presented at the London Film Museum, it is a partnership between EON Productions and the Ian Fleming Foundation (Fleming wrote a series of novels based on the British spy James Bond).
