Tomorrow Never Dies BMW rocket bank - pictures?

I'm starting machining and design on the BMW rocket bank version 1 (fixed in the open position) to get all of the proportions right before I sink the big bucks into a CNC part run of a fully retractable linkage with pneumatic firing missiles.

I have a few OK reference shots from some of the DK books and http://www.bmt216a.dk/, but I don't have any decent shots from the side of the missile bank. Anybody have any pictures they can share? Unfortunately most of the available pictures of the gadget car seem to be from the "TOP SECRET" exhibition where the sunroof was so beat to hell that it couldn't stay open.

    Thanks for those shots, I have good reference shots of all of those angles of the 750 but I've never seen the Z3 with the World is Not Enough missile package - it's a very inspiring replica! Do you have any other information about that shot, was it a movie promo car or a fan replica? I'd love to get that car with me out to car shows, or at least contact the owner!

    He is the owner, and the technician who made it. It also fires :) Our Kev IS Q-Branch.

    Well played, sir. the craftsmanship on all that pivoting linkage is very nice.
