Bond And His Bentley: A Classic Car For A Classic Character

The BBC reports that James Bond will be driving a Bentley once again in the upcoming Bond continuation novel, Carte Blanche. The novel will be written by American thriller writer Jeffery Deaver.

Although Bond is mostly associated with the Aston Martin sports car, in Ian Fleming's early thrillers, Bond drove a Bentley.

In Fleming's novel Goldfinger, Bond was assigned an Aston Martin, which the character also drove in the Goldfinger film and in the subsequent Bond films.
