Correct me if I’m wrong, but they portray the new (Craig) Bond as a sort of “reclamation project” - almost like some down-and-outer patriot who they train to become some super-sleuth. I seem to remember a scene in one of the Craig/Bond films where the audience is given a little bit of back-story to that effect...

In Casino Royale they show how he got his 00 status. This was described in the novel, but of course the ‘real’ James Bond was a world war II vet.

If you're referring to "Skyfall", the last (Craig) Bond film, Bond loyalty to the agency was tested, but he was still a senior agent. I think the back-story (orphan) and his personal Aston Martin DB5 (complete with ejection seat) was a tie-in with the 50th anniversary of the Bond movie franchise.

In the Ian Fleming books, Bond's personal ride was a Bentley coupe.
