There are DB5s and there are DB5s.

  That would be the car issued to Sean Connery in 1964. How does DCs Bond acquire it?
  
  He won the LHD one with the Bahamas blue number plate in CR. Couldn't he have imported that one?

  
  Maybe he flogged the LHD for a profit and picked up a RHD in blighty for a bargain?
  
  Maybe he took the LHD to Aston workshop and had it converted to RHD?
  
  Maybe he kept the LHD one in the Bahamas and bought another, RHD version back in the UK cos he just loved it so much?
  
  Maybe the RHD one is a family heirloom handed down from pop?
  
  Or maybe it's just cos it's bond, it's the 50th year and it looks f@cking cool?

  It's not the car-DB5 is fine. It's the registration number that is in a time loop.
  I hope they've got breakdown cover. It's a long drive to Scotland from London in a 48 year old car.
  They won't show Bond stopping at the Motorway services cafe!

  Also mint condition DB5s are worth £250-300,000. Don't think a Principal Officer's pay (in Civil Service)
  comes anywhere close to that. Obviously it's a "company car".

  He ll have had the RS Williams 4.2 upgrade engine with unleaded head and the Harvey Bailey suspension kit too,no doubt.And when I visited the Highlands last year we left North London at 1 in the morning and made Glencoe for breakfast.It s amazing how Motorways have shrunk the country.
