carguy60 ◊ 2009-08-20 07:24	I'm watching this movie now and still think this is a 3-star car, since the definition of a 3-star is "Vehicle used by a character or in a car chase". Since Bond drives it, it falls into this category.

I used to wonder why the top is up, but in Nassau, the sun is pretty intense in the afternoon, and a raised hood would provide shade. Too bad this car is barely seen! When Bond drives up to Largo's estate Palmyra, and just barely in the background when Bond is on the beach with Domino, and Vargas sneaks up on them in the trees.
