The question is not shaken or stirred but which vehicle to drive?<br/> SOUNDBITE: Madeline Smith, Bond Girl From "Live And Let Die", saying (English):<br/> "What car comes to mind? The Aston Martin, most definitely."<br/> 50 of James Bond's preferred methods of travel goes on display for the 50th anniversary of "Dr. No".<br/> The 1962 film was the first to feature the Martini and women-loving British spy.<br/> The exhibition features perhaps the most famous Bond car the Aston Martin DB5 in "Goldfinger".<br/> There's also a crocodile-shaped submarine .<br/> Bond girl Jenny Hanley who played the Irish Girl in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", weighed in on her favourite.<br/> SOUNDBITE: Jenny Hanley, Bond Girl From "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", saying (English):<br/> "The one that I want, the one that goes under water and doesn't leak. I mean, that's got to be the one to have."<br/> The white Lotus esprit went from land to underwater in one fell swoop in "The Spy Who Loved Me".<br/> Tires changed to fins and a periscope emerged from the top of the car, helping navigate the submarine.<br/> From sea to air - a mini helicopter called "Little Nellie" from "You Only Live Twice" to a jet-pack which shot Bond in through the air.<br/> Chris Corbould who's in charge of Special Effects for the Bond films say it wasn't enough to make a stunt work, but the Bond franchise is always looking to innovate.<br/> SOUNDBITE: Chris Corbould, Bond Special Effects Supervisor, saying (English):<br/> "Working on a Bond films is always challenging. They're working for groundbreaking effects, stunts. They want to do everything for real in the camera and they still maintain that to this day."<br/> And of course it wouldn't be the same without the Bond girls.<br/> Eunice Gayson, Britt Ekland, Jenny Hanley, and Madeline Smith helped inaugurate the exhibit.<br/> Ekland who starred in "The Man With The Golden Gun" and most famously married Peter Sellers says she knows her place in Bond history.<br/> SOUNDBITE: Britt Ekland, Bond Girl From "The Man With The Golden Gun", Saying (English):<br/> "I know that to quote a Rod Stewart lyric 'I was every school boy's dream'."<br/> "Bond in Motion" will be held at the National Motor Museum in the village of Beaulieu, near Portsmouth in southern England, until December.<br/> Cindy Martin, Reuters
