Think of what a different world we would be living in today if they had gone with the Jaguar.
I've driven both a DB5 and an E-Type Jag. The DB5 was the better car but the Jag was a hell of a lot more fun.

They saw this and thought that the secret was out.
Ejection seats in an automobile have been done before this as well as machine guns and instant oil slick.
The flip up bullet resistant shield was something new, normally it is fixed mounted but now would be made of bullet resistant glass.
The only trouble? this would be too heavy for a small sports car.
Now a fixed .410 shotgun along the lines of a claymore would be installed, selector switch would allow rapid fire.

Some very affluent Mexican drug cartel members have had this type of thing done.

Four million and you still need a oil drip pan.
Cowthief, you do realize that half or more of the "Bond gadgets" don't actually work outside of what's needed for the FX department to start with, right? Or do you think that we all don't know that?
