    I tried Google, but I wanted to double check here. Besides a 355, were any Ferraris used in any James Bond movies. More specifically, did Sean Connery every drive a Ferrari during his tenure as Bond...?

    Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

    The thought of 007 driving a Ferrari could hurt the queen...

    She seems to have survived Bond driving a BMW pretty well...

    Any intelligent British agent knows a Lotus handles better -- helpful when being attacked by a helicopter! ;)

    I think there is an Alfa GTV6 in one of the Roger Moore films -- but I don't remember if he drove it or a villain. . .

    odd how they gloss over the original casino royale with david niven as james bond and woody allen as jimmy bond. niven drove a bentley if i'm not mistaken.

    Years ago I visited the Jaguar Factory in Coventry. They told me that they make the Royals buy their Jags and other Britiish cars. At that time, Princes Diana was driving a BMW. I doubt they care anymore.

    actually, the first time Casino Royale was filmed was the 1954 Climax! version. Barry Nelson played American agent Jimmy Bond, and Felix Leiter was British. I don't recall the cars; I'll have to dig it out and watch it again tomorrow...

    I believe a 360 and a Lambo were dropped out of the back of a cargo plane and stuck into mud in the movie with ice castle and halle berry. (Bond #20, but I am drawing a blank on the name).

    Die Another Day.... looking for pics now.

    Ok, I was wrong, it was a 355.

    Zena Onotoph (sp? =), drove a 348 TS IIRC, in "Goldeneye"

    The memorable chase scene was the 348 and an early AM... DB4 (?) going down a mountain....

    FWIW...IIRC

    Not a Ferrari, NNO, but Bond knew how to drive this AMC Hornet:

    while with one degree of separation, David Niven played 007 in the first 'Casino Royale' and in the first 'Pink Panther' movie as James Litton, the notorious Phantom, he drives (and wrecks!) a Ferrari 250 Pininfarina coupe.

    Ever notice that in many of these and the bond films Ferraris are often associated with the bad guys?
