17th September 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of the premiere of Goldfinger, the most iconic James Bond film of all time. Celebrating this landmark moment, Porter Press International has today announced its forthcoming ‘Bondbuster’ book: Spy Octane: The Vehicles of James Bond.
The gadget-laden Aston Martin DB5 became the film’s iconic four-wheeled star. Yet
this, the first of three volumes, reveals that it was one of more than 100 vehicles to feature in the James Bond movies produced by EON Productions, the longest-running film franchise in cinema history. Every one of these vehicles which has propelled not just 007 but his allies and foes through the air, land and sea, will be explored in fascinating detail.
A must for Bond fans and followers worldwide Spy Octane, written by acclaimed Bond historians Matthew Field and Ajay Chowdhury, presents for the first time the definitive, in-depth captivating story of each and every one of these vehicles – and much more besides.
This unofficial but authoritative companion draws upon hundreds of exclusive interviews with the filmmakers, actors, stunt-drivers, motor industry executives, museum curators and private vehicle owners, as well as countless motoring and entertainment periodicals, books, magazines and unpublished ephemera. Volume One covers the first Golden Era of James Bond – the 1960s – when Sean Connery’s portrayal on Ian Fleming’s super spy became a global phenomenon.
Lavishly illustrated with over 1,000 period photographs and more, the 432-page jacketed hardback, Spy Octane: The Vehicles of James Bond – Volume 1, will be available in early November at the RRP of £99.00.
