Description: BRUN, FREDERIC, IAN FLEMING. James Bond Cars. London: Aurum Press, 2015. Signed by actor George Lazenby, “George Lazenby 007,” who played James Bond in the 1969 motion picture adaptation of the Ian Fleming novel, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service where his car of choice was an Aston Martin DBS Vantage and his co-star Diana Rigg’s was a luxurious red Mercury Cougar convertible. Laid in are two original color photographs of Lazenby with the book taken at the time of his signing. Oversize art book format, 190 pages, including a James Bond filmography and bibliography. The front panel of the dust jacket is illustrated with a black & white photograph of Sean Connery from Goldfinger. Illustrated throughout with terrific photographs of the many stunning cars which have appeared in James Bond films over the years, from the first, a Sunbeam Alpine cabriolet and Ford Anglia in ‘Dr. No’, to the most famous Bond car of all, the Aston Martin DB series which appeared in nine Bond films beginning with Goldfinger (1964) with Sean Connery, and most recently in Spectre (2015) with Daniel Craig. The Spectre car, a DB10, was recently sold at a special James Bond auction at Christie's in London, fetching a final price of £2,424,500, or about $3.5 million. Fine fresh copy in a fine fresh dust jacket. From the rear jacket text: “Spectacular and desirable, cars aren’t just extras in the James Bond films. Essential to the action, they are often surprising too, boasting equipment that is far from industry standard, whether it’s the Aston Martin DB5 with the ejector seat in Goldfinger, the Lotus Esprit that becomes a submarine in The Spy Who Loved Me or the remotely-controlled BMW 750iL in Tomorrow Never Dies....Packed with beautiful photographs and technical information on the cars and the stunts, including the Aston Martin DB10 produced exclusively for Spectre, James Bond Cars is a book that will get every Bond-lover’s heart racing.”
