007’s wheels and gadgets go on display
Some of the famous cars featured in James Bond films will be on display for nearly all of 2012.
Such vehicles as the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger and the BMW 750 from Tomorrow Never Dies will be on show at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu in Hampshire.
On public display from 18 January until the end of the year, the cars also include the Lotus Esprit S1 from The Spy Who Loved Me.
The exhibition will also show off various other devices used in the 007 movies, including the cello-case ski navigated by Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights.
The public will also see a Bede Acrostar mini-jet flown in the 007 film Octopussy.
The exhibition marks two anniversaries – 50 years of Bond films and 40 years of the Beaulieu museum.
The museum has a collection of more that 250 vehicles, including racing cars, modern rally cars and the latest Formula 1 machines, as well as world land speed record-breakers and family cars from every motoring era.
