    I thought it was cool that Brosnan was given one like the one he drove in DAD, it should definitely be a tradition to gift one to any actor that plays the character more than once

    They gave Brosnan one after DAD ? Was it a gag ?

    I would like to show some love for the old Lagonda.

    It might be one of those Marmite cars, but I have always thought that it is one of the coolest looking cars of all time.

    No there were a few photos of him out and about driving it. I dunno, is a bit naff to be James Bond and drive his car around?
    I think it was destroyed when his house burnt down.

    DAD, remember ?

    Yeah...that was my reference...wow...tough room.

    I understood the joke, I just thought you were asking a question as well so I tried to answer it for you.
    Tough room indeed...

    Craig has one as well doesn't he? I agree it is a bit weird. Enough of us try to emulate Bond in real life, so when a Bond actor appears to do it, it makes them seem a bit obsessive.

    I'm sure I heard Craig say that he doesn't have one; I think it may have been offered or he said he'd like one but he felt it would be a bit weird for him to drive around in one.

    I thought I remembered him being asked in a Q&A session a few years ago if he had taken anything away from being James Bond and he said there's a garage somewhere with an Aston Martin in it.

    I thought Aston gifted a DBS to him, with the interior styled to his liking. Did that not happen?

    They gave him a blue Vanquish, and he auctioned it off to charity a few years later.

    They did have two DB5s on set for that because of the boot lid I guess: there’s a photo around of them both there.
    If it’s continuity you’re worried about, don’t look at the side repeater on the car in Goldfinger! :)

    yeah the side was dented; I had read it was damaged driving it from point to point on the set by some kid assistant- but the BOND CARS book said it was damaged being transported during filming. So who knows.

    The dent yes, but I mean the side repeater indicator which only one car has.

    This sunday, I was coming back from eating in Brest, when I saw that in an optics store window :

    Surprising, isn't it ?
