I think if you watch that movie again you will see that the car is an
early Alpine Series I or II. Yes, the steering is a little funny.
Watch closely, the spokes of the steering wheel are almost vertical
through most of the scenes.
I can not believe The Rootes Dealership in Jamaica gave the movie
company a bad car, so again you have to watch closely, in the close up
scenes James Bond is driving in front of a back drop screen and they
did not synchronize the action very well. It is still a good movie
and having several Roote Group cars is a plus. I believe there are a
couple of Humbers in this movie, I need to watch it again to be certain.

Robert,
Also recently in the movies, on Turner's Super Station, they are showing
thirteen days of James Bond movies. On Wednesday evening (I think it was
"Dr. No") Bond was driving what looked like an early Tiger.
I also noticed in the chase scenes that his lines through the corners
looked rough. Maybe it was the steering problem.? :-)
