3.5 Litre Drophead

Black · Drophead Coupé

In Ian Fleming's novels Bond drove a 1930 4½-litre Bentley — and this pre-war drophead nods directly to that literary heritage. Its brief appearance in From Russia with Love grounds the film's era and reminds the audience that this Bond has history. A rolling period detail — and one of the oldest cars ever featured in the franchise.

A nod to Bond's literary taste — the pre-war Bentley that Fleming's 007 always preferred.
