Hi All,

I help organise a classic & sportscar show in Hertfordshire.  We usually get about 6000 visitors, but this year we are organising a display of cars from James Bond films which is attracting a lot more interest.

The cars displayed will be a mix of the actual cars from the films together with identical copies.  Currently we have a suitable Z8 (90% certain), and hopefully also the R1200C bike.  We are missing however the Z3 in Atlanta blue (GoldenEye) and also the 750iL in Aspen Silver Metallic (Tommorow never dies).  If any of you own, or know of a suitable car (ie correct model / colour) please get in touch.

More details on the show can be found at http://www.buntingfordclassic.co.uk - www.buntingfordclassic.co.uk

Aside from the large number of visitors on the day, the cars featured can be assured of wide press coverage (including TV) and in addition the event is helping raise money for Cancer Research UK.

I would appreciate it if you could help, my contact no is 07956 560023.

Thanks
Alan Tong

I'm not convinced the 750 was an iL myself. Anyway, I have one in Orient Blue if you can't find an Aspen one...

Have you posted on www.zroadster.net for the Z3? I'm sure youll find one there...

Ciao,

A quick update - thanks to the forum we have now got the Altanta Blue Z3 and the silver Z8 required for the show.

We also have a 7 series of the correct colour & year, but not the correct engine - should be 750iL, so if there are any 7 series owners out there?

Also at the show will be Douglas James who is Pierce Brosnans stunt double in the films along with his DB5.

If anyone wants to visit as a spectator they are most welcome - details should be on http://www.buntingfordclassic.co.uk - www.buntingfordclassic.co.uk

Regards

Alan
