Top 10: Sir Roger Moore cars
Sir Roger Moore, best known for playing 007 in a total of seven James Bond films, has died at the age of 89. Here we celebrate some of his most famous roles with ten of the cars he came to be associated with.
AMC Hornet
The 1974 classic The Man with the Golden Gun featured a rather unusual mode of transport for Moore as 007: a brand spanking new AMC Hornet Sportabout hatchback coupe, commandeered from an AMC showroom in Bangkok. The car will be best remembered for its spiral jump across a river, part of Bond’s impressive chase against arch enemy Scaramanga.
Although the Hornet used in the film was a ’74 example, the model line-up as a whole ran from 1970 to ’77, with engines ranging from a 199cu.in. six-cylinder through to a 360cu.in. V8.
