Photos: The best James Bond cars to buy

(10 images)

What is a Citroën 2CV with a Madrid license plate doing on this list? Well yes friends, it was in 1981 when the movie 'For Your Eyes Only' was released, where James Bond had to flee aboard a Citroën 2CV. To get more 'chicha', the engine of a Citroën GS was placed on it. You know! Find a 2CV, paint it yellow and you can say you have a Bond car.

The mythical Lotus Esprit submarine is one of the most famous James Bond cars. He was the great star of the movie 'The Spy Who Loved Me' and his eighties style couldn't be more interesting. Okay, buying James Bond's Lotus Esprit is complicated, the only copy is owned by Elon Musk and it cost him more than 700,000 euros. However, even if it can't go underwater, the Lotus Esprit is a classic that is still well priced and should inevitably go up in the future.

If there is a quintessential Bond car, it is the Aston Martin DB5. He has appeared in seven films and always does so with all the glamor on the planet. If you are a fan of James Bond, you like cars and you have a lot of money in the bank, your car is the Aston Martin DB5. Undoubtedly. It costs more than half a million euros!

The BMW Z8 is one of the cars that we most remember and associate with James Bond. And it is that few sports cars have managed to have a style as unique and spectacular as the Z8. In the James Bond universe, he is the protagonist in 'The world is never enough' and it is a pity not to have bought it a few years ago: now its price is already through the roof!

You can not say that this BMW 750iL, which participated in 'Tomorrow Never Dies', is not cool. Pierce Brosnan already gave life to Bond and did not hesitate to park him through a mobile phone: the future is here! Image, luxury, power and a lot of strength: this BMW 7 Series can be yours for four dollars and the truth is that it has style and glamor to spare. The only bad thing is that they can confuse you with some Russian mobster and have the occasional problem.

The Ford Mustang is a legendary car: I have already lost count of the number of movies in which it has participated, Bullit being probably the most iconic for this model. However, a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 also participated in a James Bond movie, specifically in 'Diamonds Are Forever'. You will need to travel to the US and between 35 and 70 thousand dollars to buy one.

A View to a Kill was the fourteenth film in the saga and it features an amazing car: a Renault 11. A lot of people hate it, we love it, especially if the roof has been decapitated and James Bond drives it through the streets of Paris. Finding a Renault 11 is simple and cheap, removing the roof is up to you.

Another rarity in the Bond world: an Alfa Romeo! He participated in the thirteenth film of the saga and was titled Octopussy. With Roger Moore as James Bond, this Alfa Romeo GTV6 is a very interesting option: it is a very playful rear-wheel drive and its 2.5-liter V6 engine is a real delight. Worst? It is difficult to find copies in good condition, that is, with little rust.

The AMC Hornet is one of the most unknown American compacts. It was manufactured by the American Motors Corporation and had a starring role in the movie 'The Man with the Golden Gun', the ninth installment of James Bond. One of the highlights of this extremely rare Bond car is the one you can see in the photo. Finding a copy can cost you a lot of work and you will have to cross the pond to be successful.

The line of the Aston Martin Vanquish is absolutely sensational. Protagonist in 'Die another day', the Vanquish was one of the most spectacular protagonists of the saga, with numerous 'gadgets' and an elegant and sporty image. Its 460 hp V12 starred in one of the best chases in the saga. Today you can still find Aston Martin Vanquish for less than 100,000 euros, but hurry because its price is rising like foam. Then don't cry.

Before it goes to our heads, we're back on track, as we've taught you here and here. And while we're not perfect, we think the new season of Top Gear is suiting us very well. Mainly, because the protagonists are the cars, not the egos of the presenters. Among them (the vehicles, we mean), you are going to see the new Ford GT and the Bugatti Chiron. And the Aston Martin DB11, associated, of course, with Bond, James Bond.

LeBlanc will be the first American to play the role of the spy, so he will appear in a rigorous tuxedo and will face Harris (the villain, in this case), who will be behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. You can take a chase and careful staging for granted.

Elsewhere, Reid is going to the Nürburgring to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the arrival of the Volkswagen Golf GTI in the UK. Sabine Schmitz will also be there, while LeBlanc will compare the Fiat 124 Spider with the new Abarth 124. Get ready for one of the best seasons of Top Gear in recent years. And, again, we don't say it...
