James Bond's was baby blue. Great work!


ETA: D'oh! He did have a silver Z8 in The World is Not Enough (w/ Sophie Marceau).

Nice work and presentation to us cosmin! Thanks. I love those things probably because I see so few.

There's a black one down here with Sarasota/Bradenton plates that I'd love to get my hands on for a good exterior paint correction session.

One of my favorite cars of all time. I keep hoping my Dad would pick one up.
