Even though I own a 1998 BMW 750 I believe that the car never quite fitted in with the viewers who love the extravagant non-discrete lifestyle of 007, it's more of a book-Bond, Dalton type of car. Kind of like the TLD Aston Martin which was also a somewhat discrete car when compared do Vanquishes, Z3s and Lotus Esprits.

Hardly! It's a beast of a car- the closest thing we came to making a Mustang. Whenever an AMV8 passes me, everyone notices.
As you say; it's quite Book-Bond: a massive powerful and slightly brash GT; just like his Bentleys. The Vanquish was right too. The DBS is even better- the functional-looking spoilers make it much more suitable for Fleming's Bond.
Personally I don't think the DB5 really suits him, but it's kind of in the vein of his PPK- not the biggest but the most elegant.

Agree with you there, the elegant V8 suited Bond perfectly. Cumberland grey, no Vantage shirts or spoilers and 16-inch cross spoke alloys. Among the most beautiful cars of all time. I have promised myself to buy one someday. {[]

"Better make that two."
