Watching Thunderball last night there was a good selection of older vehicles doing service.
I guess about 2/3 into the film James turns up at a Hotel driving - a convertible!
Can't believe I've never seen Thunderball as it's probably been broadcast many, many times.

Re: James Bond's Morris Convertible
It's quite fun telling people that I drive a 1960's Bond car....they assume it's the Aston Martin!
You can buy a scale model of the Bond Moggy, complete with with the image of the hotel where the Moggy turns up in the film, Amazon are selling them for around £25.

Re: James Bond's Morris Convertible
That's great! I think in the early episodes he did appear to drive more 'normal' cars but I never knew it included a Minor.
Just taxed my Bond Morris - but mine has a roof because I didn't opt for the ejector seat!

Not quite James Bond, but if you look at the opening credits of the early (half-hour) episodes of 'Danger Man', a dark coloured Minor drives past as 'John Drake' hops into his sports car!

I always associate Bond with three wheeled micro cars fitted with Villiers engines
