Second in the James Bond series and the kick starter of a superhit franchise, the movie Russia With Love featured a sparkling Bentley Mark IV.

The beautiful Sunbeam Alpine featured in this 1962 movie was the one to kick off the tradition of featuring luxury cars in the James Bond series. The car featured in this movie was borrowed from a local resident as the craze of the Bond movies hadn't reached the peak yet. An interesting fact about the car is that it is one of the rare automobiles with just 12,500 cars manufactured by the British manufacturer Roots Group.

Although the Alfa Romeo looks like any other sporty Hatchback today, it's association with the James Bond movies is deeper. At the time the Alfa Romeo was facing backlash due to the issues raised about its quality and the company set out to redeem itself through a James Bond movie. Fortunately the move was a success and an upgraded version of the car was seen performing a classic chase sequence where Bond steals this car from a woman and makes his way to the US Air Force base in West Germany.

Many other cars like the Aston Martin Vantage Volante, the MC Hornet X Hatchback and the unforgettable BMW Z3 have made appearances in James Bond movies throughout the years. Which one is your favourite? Tell us in the comments section.
