Did you see the truly miserable movie Austin Powers? But, got to love the XKE, TR4 and Mrs. Peel-esque black leather jump suit on the heroine (her name escapes me just now).
Be seeing you.

Ah knowed dit! Thet dubble-nought spy also drove a couple Astons a two
Bentleys (Beginning of From Russia With Love, and an all too brief
chase in Casino Royale) a Mustang, Javelin (or was it a Matador),
Toyota GT2000, and that (at)#!&#$!!! Beemer. There was a cycle too
if memory serves. There are otherrs but memory fades when you're
as old a fart as I am...
But since we're on the subject of spies...
Mrs (sigh, just LOVE her in that leather body suit) Peel - Elan S2
Steed - Bugatti (I still think it looks like an Alvis), Vauxhall, 3
Bentleys, 2 Rollers, a Landie, and a Trojan Bubble car
Tara (Diana Rigg's successor) AC Cobra, Lotus Europa, Mini Moke
Mrs Gale - Mrs Peel's predecessor (Honor [Pussy Galor] Blackman)

a Bonneville)
And let's not forget good ole #6's (Patrick McGoohan) Lotus Super
Seven
