The James Bond Lightening
« on: 08.05. 2011 18:03 »
There was a question a while back asking what happened to the Bond Rocket firing BSA Lightening. Here's a picture of it resting at the Keswick Motor Museum. Apparently it all works even the rocket launchers??

I think my A10 must have appeared in a Bond movie. When I got it it was equipped with a smoke screen and sprayed the road with oil as well.

It was on the North East news this morning the guy who owns that museum plus the other one Cars of the Stars has closed them down and is moving the whole lot to America. Pity really because they were always worth avisit.
