Bond drove one!
Appears In "Dr. No"
In Kingston, 007 orders a marine blue Sunbeam Alpine Series II Sports Tourer convertible to use on his assignment in Jamaica. He then drives the Alpine to Miss Taro’s house in the Blue Mountains although Dr. No’s assassins, the Three Blind Mice, are expecting him and try to run him off the cliffside road. With the two-door roadster’s agility, coupled with Bond’s superior driving skills, the assassins in their lumbering black hearse do not stand a chance. Bond spots an angledozer at work in the road ahead and takes advantage of the Alpine’s low profile to drive under the machine’s shovel-arm, which is reaching across the road. The bulkier hearse cannot execute the move and veers off the road, tumbling down the mountainside and erupting in flames.
