For the new Bond - George Lazenby - a new Aston, the DBS. The dark green car features mainly in the pre-title sequence and at the end of the film, after Bond marries Teresa de Vicenzo (Diana Rigg). Teresa is shot through the car's windscreen by Blofled's female sidekick, who leans from the side window of a speeding Mercedes 600. From an action point of view, this is actually one of the best Bond films, and Lazenby (who had only ever done chocolate commercials before getting the job) looked the part in a way Roger Moore somehow never could. Look out also for Miss Rigg's Mercury Cougar, piloted by the lady herself for some shots in the ice racing sequence.
