James Bond and his Bentley

In the James Bond novels, 007 drove a vintage green Bentley. This painting imagines Daniel Craig’s Bond with a contemporary Bentley Continental. (incidentally I believe the car that John Steed drives in the 1960s TV Series ‘The Avengers is the same make and model that the literary Bond drives).

Aston Martin has become the go to automobile supplier for MI6. (in the film series), and there has been a heavy reliance on the classic Goldfinger era DB5 lately. Although I loved its featured appearance in ‘Skyfall’. But the contemporary streamlined car seen in ‘Spectre’ did not seem wholly appropriate to Craig’s Bond. The 1969 DBS V8 seen in ‘No Time to Die’ looks just right for Craig.

But wouldnt it have been nice to see Craig driving one of newer Bentleys? They are big, tough and powerful looking. They look great! Just like the man himself.
