Bond Cars: The Definitive History by Barlow, Jason Reviews

  • G. H

    Oddly, this book has very little coverage of the unique Aston Martin DB10, only the second car specially made for a Bond film (the other was the convertible Toyota 2000 GT from You Only Live Twice, but that was largely an existing design). A bit of text about it, and a couple of poor photos of half of the car! It covers the latest film No Time To Die quite well, also the origins of the DB5 starting in Goldfinger, and Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me plus many . But disappointed on the Spectre coverage. Some cars covered very well, like the DB5, some could have been thoroughly researched. Over 330 pages, so good value for money. Buy it? Yes.

    For a 'Definitive History' on Bond cars, I suggest to look elsewhere. Strangely omitting any reference to Cortina d'Ampezzo, a major location in For Your Eyes Only, and where the bronze Lotus Esprit Turbo featured. This car being covered by just two photos. Being this is my favourite Bond film and car, that was disappointing. Also, as another reviewer pointed out, not enough about the DB10 from Spectre. Despite these glaring omissions, an enjoyable book.

    Treat yourself to the non limited edition as opposed to this.

    The slip is okay but the extra contents are not worth it. 3 postcards and a repro folded poster. Not worth and extra £20!!
    At least cheaper on than 007 store:

  • Andrew H. Baird

    Bond Cars: The Definitive History A Great Book With Highly Detailed Pages On Every James Bond Car Featured In All 25 James Bond Films A Great Read Enough Said

  • Mr. Nicholas Male

    Great book covering all the films with many rare photos and behind the scenes details.

  • MR A.

    Great book but was bought for a gift and doesn’t have a sleeve on it. I don’t care too much but i know some people are all about a hardback book having a sleeve on it. The book was also slightly scratched if only it had a sleeve

  • Tin Tactoo

    A good read that also includes the not so well known cars that just 'appeared' in the films as basically window dressing in all but name. Overall a well researched book with some never before seen photos.

  • Frea

    Beautiful coffee table book. Bought as a gift. The subject matter isn’t my thing, but the recipient loves it and the book looks good enough that I haven’t banished it to the book shelfyet

  • Dave R.
