Bond the Builder

In the film Casino Royale, James Bond wins an Aston Martin DB5 in a poker game – and according to the producers, this explains how in earlier films he has one as his personal car.

For Christmas I was given a super book called ‘The Art of Bond’ containing anecdotes on the writing and design of all the films. In the chapter on cars it states that an early draft of the Casino Royale screenplay considered Bond finding a trashed DB5 and rebuilding it. Now wouldn’t THAT have been something?
