Part 2/9:
Meet the “Locomotive,” the manifestation of Bond’s beloved vehicle brought to life by car designer Tony Hunter. Having spent years working with prominent automotive manufacturers and holding the position of head of interior design at Tata Motors, Hunter took it upon himself to recreate what Bond’s Bentley might have looked like, based on Fleming's vague descriptions.
The vehicle debuted in Thunderball, with appearances in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and The Living Daylights. The story goes that its original owner famously crashed it into a lamppost. Bond restored the damaged chassis, resulting in the elegant yet powerful new version Hunter has constructed.
