Also glaringly missing are Bond’s white Lotus Esprit, and the Dalton-era Aston-Martin.

Less glaringly missing is the AMC Hornet from “Man With the Golden Gun”

Or how ‘bout the Mustang 351 in Diamonds Are Forever - it went into an alley on two wheels (the RIGHT wheels) and came out of the alley on the LEFT wheels.

THAT WAS A CAR!
