Sean Connery, the original Bond,<br />
takes the top spot for the flashiest car<br />
collection as 007. Connery’s collection<br />
is worth over £1.6 million in the present<br />
day! In his collection are two Aston Martin<br />
DB5s, a staple of the movie series and the<br />
Sunbeam Alpine, the first car Bond drives<br />
on the silver screen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most recent Bond, Daniel Craig,<br />
takes second place for the flashiest car<br />
collection, totalling more than £1.1 million<br />
today! Aside from a fleet of luxury sports<br />
cars including four Aston Martins, this<br />
version of 007 also has more modest<br />
tastes, with two very affordable Fords in<br />
his collection.<br />
Pierce Brosnan’s 007 ranks in third<br />
place, with his car collection having a<br />
current value of over £950,000! Brosnan’s<br />
collection includes three BMWs, two<br />
of which met sticky ends, and an Aston<br />
Martin Vanquish, equipped with an<br />
adaptive camouflage that renders it<br />
invisible.<br />
Further findings:<br />
l <strong>The</strong> total of Mr. Bond’s car damages from every<br />
film cost over a whopping £1.9 million!<br />
l Sean Connery’s 007 also caused the most in<br />
damages, costing a whopping £675,000 from a<br />
single crash!<br />
l Goldfinger, Thunderball and Golden Eye had<br />
the best car collection of all of the Bond<br />
movies, with a joint value of £675,000.<br />
l George Lazenby was named the most cautious<br />
007. Starring in only one Bond film, Lazenby’s<br />
Bond destroys only two cars, costing around<br />
£117,000 to replace today.<br />
