Registration KMT799C doesn't appear on the DVLA database, but C-reg means 1965. |

Although it cannot be seen well on this picture, the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud on the right has the number plate CUB 1. Could it be producer Albert "Cubby" Broccoli's personal car? I know he had a Cloud... |

The car with number plate GPK110C is an Volga M21 (sedan) or M22 (state wagon) from Russia (I haven't any idea how this car used in "Thunderball") The next car (BXL985) is a Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner. According to the story this car was driven by "Count Lippe". The third car is a Jaguar E-Type Mark1 fixed head coupe. The last one is a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. |

Yes, that is what I believe. After all, his car was also used for certain scenes in "A View a Kill". I like how he kept the car rather than the modern habit that seems to be the "latest and the greatest". It looks munch darker gray, and possibly two tone here, though. Hmm..... |

Chassis 1E20059, dispatched to Henly's London dealership on 11 November 1964. 2017 sales listing from US says "4.2 litre E-type fixed head coupe RHD as seen in the James Bond Movie Thunderball. The first owner and during the filming of the movie was Sir Kenneth Hugo Adam, also known as Ken Adam, the production designer, KMT Ltd, for the James Bond films during the 60s and 70s." |

Thanks, dsl! Its interesting to know the history on these cars not just for the screen presence and association with the filmmakers, but just knowing the history of the individual car. |
