January to December 2012 at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu.

in Bond films over the years including cars, boats, motorbikes, sleds, jets
and many more. This collection of iconic movie vehicles will include the 1964
Aston Martin DB5 and the 1937 Phantom lll Rolls-Royce both from Goldfinger,
the Lotus Esprit S1 affectionately nicknamed ‘Wet Nellie’ from
The Spy Who Loved Me, the Bede Acrostar jet famously flown in Octopussy, the
BMW 750iL from Tomorrow Never Dies, the original villain Parahawk featured
in The World is Not Enough and the original SFX Cello Case Ski famously navigated
by Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights.
Beaulieu’s Commercial Director, Stephen Munn said, “2012 is going
to be a very exciting year for Beaulieu. After many months of planning, the
preparation of the Bond exhibition area is about to begin and the first consignment
of vehicles, on their way from the USA, will be arriving in a few weeks”
