James Bond eyeing up his new motor Image Source: Spectre Official Website
Spectre is released on DVD this week, and with Daniel Craig’s fourth outing in the Bond franchise being another slick showcase of automobile excellence, we started to wonder what a classified car ad would look like if his 007 had to sell up.
We know what you’re thinking: in all 26 films, Bond’s car collection has never made old chassis’ and he’s gone through more motors than he has Martinis. But let’s pretend for a minute that all those perfectly put together and polished beauties returned from Bond’s adventures as they started; no shattered glass, no bullet holes and no write-offs. So let’s advertise Craig’s cars so far as honestly as we can…
