TRIVIA TUESDAY: What is the REAL James Bond Car? 🕵️‍♂️🇬🇧

Think you know James Bond’s favorite car? Think again. 🍸🏎️ While the silver screen has made the Aston Martin DB5 a global icon, the James Bond of Ian Fleming’s original novels wouldn't be caught dead in one. Our resident classic car expert Nicholas Maronese dives into the archives to reveal the "Battleship Gray" beast that 007 actually called his own. Bond’s personal hobby wasn't gadgets or espionage—it was maintaining his pre-war British luxury icon. From the supercharged "Blower" of the early books to the custom "Locomotive" of the later years, the literary Bond was a Bentley man through and through. Are you a book purist or a movie fan? Let us know your favorite Bond car in the comments! 👇 --- THE ANSWER --- In the books, James Bond starts out with a 1931 Bentley 4.5-litre convertible, though he also sees wheeltime in some slightly newer cars from the British luxury brand. The Bentleys are always painted “battleship gray,” and are always two-seaters—and one fan (Tony Hunter) even built a real-life tribute to the "Locomotive" version in early 2025! #TriviaTuesday #JamesBond #007 #Bentley #BlowerBentley #ClassicCars #NicholasMaronese #Drivingca #Shorts #IanFleming #CarTrivia #AstonMartin #BentleyBoys
