Watched the film for the umpteenth time today. Has anybody else noticed the convertable in it?

Yes I spotted it, the white one after the fight with the sharks in the pool scene.

The only time 007 has used a Morris Minor as a getaway car!!
Minors also featured briefly in "Dr. No", "Goldfinger" and "You Only Live Twice" - but blink and you'd miss them!

Even more anoraky - I believe the Morris Minor is the first car to be mentioned by name in James Bond book, being mentioned early on in Fleming's Casino Royal!
