Need help on 1998 Exhibition in Glasgow

Stirling · January 2015

Not sure if this is the right place but I've been trying to find out about the show that happened back in '98 in Glasgow. My memory is a bit hazy as I was 10 years old

) .

So far I think it was the "The World of 007" in the McLellan Galleries but I'm struggling to dig up anything else out of google other than old news snippets. I really wanted to hunt down a perforated aluminium card case I got there and preceded to loose at a later date and never forgave myself.

Just hoping maybe somebody has a program or something like that.

Thanks chaps!

If I remember correctly the exhibition was initially held at the Leeds Royal Armouries Museum in 1997 and I believe it was in Glasgow in 1998 I seem to remember. It had an Aston Martin DB.5 and the Octopussy Acrostar Minijet. Pretty good exhibition and from what I recall was really well put together. Went to Bond In Motion in Beaulieu in 2012 both were as good as each other - thoroughly enjoyed them both.

Always wonder wether there should be a permanent James Bond Museum.

There was one for Bond vehicles in Keswick...it didn't last that long before it had to close...a shame as it was rather good - just in the wrong place...

As for the original question - sorry, no information on that...but I did attend it at Leeds Armouries...

Yes, this exhibition was held at the McLellan Galleries. I do have a program somewhere but I'd have to dig it out.

It was also held in the Portsmouth Dockyards circa late 1997.

I think it was called the Cars of the Stars Museum - they had The Prisoner's Lotus Seven, Del Boy's Reliant Robin, The Saint's Volvo, a Jeep from MASH, and a few other notable vehicles including The Batmobile at one point.

Cars of the Stars was a precursor...it was the same guy but this was only for Bond vehicles and was purpose built...I have some pics somewhere - no idea where mind...
