Yesterday I headed into the New Forest to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu to see the 'Bond in Motion' exhibition which is there this year to celebrate 50 years of James Bond with 50 Bond 'vehicles'. The was also the World of Top Gear and the regular exhibitions which I'll post further down in a bit.

But because there aren't actually 50 Bond cars there were some other things to make up the 50 vehicles.

There were also some miniatures and props used in stunt sequences too.

Now, the 'World of Top Gear'. The first load of cars were all outside or under a gazebo.

Then we moved indoors where a large number of slightly mouldy cars, on a very hot day and in what is essentially a conservatory, led to some interesting smells.

Then there was the 'Enormodrome'. Which was actually quite small and not very well lit so the pictures didn't come out very well.

Other museum cars still to come...
 
Such a shame that so much of what is on display for TG is from lame films.

Take away the HiLux, the Rocket Robin/Mini, the Nissank and the Pensiton Oils Beemer and the rest of it just reminds me of scripted bollocks and needless destruction.
 
Very true, but I suppose it brings in the punters. On the way into the 'Enormodrome' they had the India "special" cars but I ignored them, on principle.

And finally, here's some of the regular museum cars.
