Creator of the classic spy, James Bond, Ian Fleming was also a keen motoring enthusiast who peppered his work with colourful cars from 007’s Bentleys and Aston Martins to the magical flying Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (which was based on a real life vehicle). He also owned some interesting cars himself. Learn more about Fleming - his life and his cars - in an entertaining illustrated talk by his biographer Andrew Lycett, before tasting the classic martini Bond is also famous for with Absolut - all in celebration of the opening of our new exhibition 'Cars: Accelerating the Modern World'.
