Some of James Bond's most famous vehicles have gone on display complete with bullet holes and machine guns for the 50th anniversary of the first 007 feature film Dr No.
The array of vehicles driven by Britain's most famous spy - including ones for land, air, sea and even underwater - are being shown at an exhibition at the National Motor Museum, near Southampton.

Bond in Motion features 50 modes of transport which have helped 007 get away or catch his villains for the past half-century.
It is the first display of its kind anywhere in the world.
The cars include the iconic Aston Martin DB5 driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger in 1964 and the amphibious white Lotus, which plunged into the water off the coast of Sardinia in 1977's The Spy Who Loved Me.
Bond girl Jenny Hanley, who appeared in On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969, said it was her favourite.
She said: "How many cars do you know that have parachute escapes and machine guns and bits of metal that come up?
"And the one that I want, the one that goes under water and doesn't leak. I mean, that's got to be the one to have."
Other vehicles featured include a crocodile-shaped submarine from Octopussy, a jet-pack which was strapped onto the shoulders of Pierce Brosnan in Die Another Day and the Little Nellie autogyro from You Only Live Twice.
