007 = Aston Martin

For James Bond , "007", Aston Martin is like a car that symbolizes his idol. In addition to the familiar DB5 in the latest work "No Time to Die", DBS, Hall of Valor, V8 sedan, etc. have all appeared.

However, in Ian Fleming 's original work, Aston Martin appeared in the story of the seventh work "Goldfinger". Anyone who has read the original novel knows that Bond's favorite car was a 1930 Bentley 4.5-litre blower model. Furthermore, in the works, the car is described as "a personal hobby only" and was carefully stored in a garage even during the war.

Eventually, the Bentley appeared in debut films Casino Royale, Live and Let Die, and Moonlighter, eventually crashing during a car chase. Incidentally, Fleming originally wrote this Blower Bentley in "They Were the Dead" as a 1933 model, but it was actually discontinued in '31, and the 1930 model intentionally appears in "Moon Lakers." I decided to rewrite it.

Aston Martin appeared in Aston Martin's "Goldfinger" in 1953, and DB3 appeared as a Bond car (the painting may be very light in the work, and the impression may be very thin). This is said to be because a reader pointed out in a letter to Fleming, "How about a world-traveling great spy, no matter how much he likes to ride a pre-war vintage car?" "How about DB3 as a Bond hobby?" Pity. Aston Martin DB3 decided to treat the Bond as a "company car" rather than a personal car.

Providing the movie with new models in development, the world's most famous car was born

Additionally, Bentley reappeared in "Thunderbolt" after "Goldfinger", possibly because of his obsession with Bentley . As expected, it has been updated and fitted with Mark II Continental and Mark IV engines, a custom favorite Bond setup. It has since appeared in "Her Majesty's 007" to "You Only Live Twice" where he owns a Bentley convertible that seems to channel Fleming's "Bentley" feel.

It was supposed to be that way, and Fleming seemed to like Bentley so much that he gave his American friend Iver Bryce a customized 1953 Bentley R Type Continental Fastback. It was a car exactly like the one drawn in "Thunderball", the body was made of Rolls Royce and Bentley's carrosserie "HJ Mariner", the black Connolly leather was of course a cool one that I liked.

By the way, the Fleming-built Continental was long missing, but it was found stored in a garage in , California, a few years ago, when it was auctioned for approximately $1.4 million.

Even so, Mr. Fleming sent a generous gift, no matter how good a friend he was, but in fact Mr. Bryce's middle name was "Felix." If you guessed correctly, you're thinking of Felix Leiter, a CIA agent who was a semi-regular character in both the original and the film. Fleming is said to have created Felix Leiter in the image of Mr. Blythe, possibly in gratitude for selling the novel.

By the way, Aston Martin appeared in the 007 version of the DB5 in the 1964 "Goldfinger" film, but as mentioned before, it should be DB3 in the original work. In fact, when the decision was made to make it into a movie, both the production company and Fleming thought "I think DB3 is outdated." The DB3 that debuted in 1957 is indeed an old model seven years ago.

Therefore, the production direction asked David Brown, the president of Aston Martin at the time, "I wonder if I can lend you a DB4." Then, the reply came: "Now, we're working on a new model called the DB5! If you like it, use it." This was 007 & Aston Martin, the moment the wheels of fortune started turning.

As you know, Aston Martin has been active in numerous Bond films ever since. But that doesn't mean Bentley isn't in the movie. The first one is "From Russia with Love" in 1964, and the second one is "Never Say Die". Both of them seem too coincidental. Sean Connery is the first Bond person. I can't do it. .

Looking back, I don’t think the Aston Martin was a good fit for 007, and I don’t think the old Bentley’s old spy was too bad either.
