26-04-2023 • 33 mins

Fast and sleek with a satisfying rumble in the engine. What else could you want from a car?


Well, for James Bond, the answer to this question is usually a couple of hidden weapons and some form of camouflage device.


For this episode of 'Inventing Bond' - our series marking the 70th anniversary of Fleming's Bond - Dallas is joined by Jason Barlow, author of 'Bond Cars: The Definitive Guide'.


We also spoke to David Butler, who drove some specially modified cars behind the Iron Curtain, about how close Bond cars come to the truth.


Edited by Tom Delargy. Produced by Freddy Chick and Sophie Gee. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
