Hi, Allen,
Sorry, I know no-one likes a smarta** but.......
Ian Fleming's Goldfinger, Pan Books, first published 1959 by Jonathan Cape,
Pan edition, 22nd printing, 1972.
Chapter 7, page 59. 'Thoughts in a D.B.III.'
'The car was from the pool. Bond had been offered the Aston Martin or a
Jaguar 3.4. He had taken the DB III.......the DB III had the advantage of an
up-to-date triptyque, an inconspicuous colour-battleship grey-and certain
extras which might or might not come in handy.'
You'll be thrilled to learn that I won't hold you to the wager ;-)
Cheers, David Hill
PS. Let us not forget the 'repainted sky blue Ford Popular with large yellow
ears, scurrying along the crown of the road ahead'-Driven, apparently, by
Oddjob!
