He only drove the 4.5 litre Bentley in the first three books, though he writes it off in the third, Moonraker. Then he gets a Mark VI and then a Continental. The Astons are there too, though - they belong to the Secret Service pool.

Not so fast, Mr Moran.....the books have Bond driving a pre-war Bentley 4.5 litre, supercharged. These are vintage or WO Bentleys' , after their designer Walter Owen (WO) Bentley. In later books he drives a post-war Bentley Continental type R. He's supercharged this - but Rolls are unhappy.
