Exclusive Tour: Inside the Ian Fleming Foundation’s Bond Vehicle Collection

During a work weekend at the Ian Fleming Foundation, Bill Koenig takes a closer look at a selection of original vehicles from the James Bond films.

The walkthrough includes the bathosub from Diamonds Are Forever, the helicopter from From Russia with Love, boats from Live and Let Die, and the deep-sea submersible from For Your Eyes Only. Also featured is a partially restored aircraft section from Goldfinger, now undergoing refurbishment.

Filmed in a working environment rather than a formal exhibition, the video offers a rare, unfiltered look at surviving pieces of Bond film history — preserved, restored, and still actively maintained.

David Leigh founded The James Bond Dossier in 2002. A fan of 007 since the age of 8, he is also author of The Complete Guide to the Drinks of James Bond. You can order a copy here if you don't own it already.
