Bond Movie: Dr. No (1962) Synopsis: James Bond's first car was the
modest Sunbeam Alpine Series II, in lake blue. After being invited
to the mountain apartment of enemy spy Miss Taro, Bond drove the
Sunbeam up the dusty road and into a trap. He was soon chased by a
large hearse that tried to ram him off the edge of the sharp cliff.
After some tense corners, a crane blocked the road ahead. Bond
managed to pass underneath, but the hearse was too tall and skidded
off the mountain to a fiery death. Like many Bond cars to follow,
the Sunbeam was English made, manufactured just outside of Coventry
in the West Midlands. The iconic car had also featured in the novel
Dr. No, where it was the personal car of John Strangways, head of
Station J, Jamaica. For the film, it was rumored that the producers
had borrowed the Sunbeam from a local resident to avoid the cost of
importing their own. Please Note The Following **Vehicle Location
