Behind the scenes with the best James Bond cars

For the first time the London film Museum will display the largest collection of original James Bond vehicles as part of a new exhibition, Bond in Motion.

The exhibition includes iconic cars, such as the Rolls-Royce Phantom III from Goldfinger and the Aston Martin DB5 from the 1995 Bond film, GoldenEye.

Vic Armstrong, who worked on several Bond films as a stuntman before joining the production team as a stunt co-ordinator and action unit director -- has worked with Bonds from Connery to Brosnan.

He picked out the 7 Series BMW from Tomorrow Never Dies as one of his favourite cars in the exhibition.

"I had 17, they all went back in carrier bags when I'd finished with them.  I've got really fond memories of this particular car because I think it developed into a really unique and interesting chase."

Mr Armstrong's wife Wendy Leech also worked as a stunt double on A View to a Kill, For Your Eyes Only, Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day.


Ms Leech says she loves being able to tell people about her "extraordinary job", which is a bit of a family tradition.


"My dad [George Leech] was a stuntman as well, working on some of the first Bonds, so it's always been in the family for me."


The Bond in Motion exhibition opens at the London Film Museum on Friday 21 March
