From Down at the barns.

Most people grow up dreaming of owning a James Bond car.
For most of us, that dream stays exactly where it belongs — on the big screen.

But when For Your Eyes Only surprised the world by putting James Bond behind the wheel of a humble Citroën 2CV, something quietly changed. Suddenly, Bond wasn’t driving an untouchable museum piece — he was driving a car that felt possible.

This is the story of Andrew, a lifelong Bond fan who realised that if 007 could chase villains in a 2CV… maybe he could too.

What followed wasn’t a quest for perfection or a screen-accurate replica, but something far more human: chasing a feeling. From tracking down the right car, to recreating tiny details from the film, to taking the finished car to Bond events — and even meeting one of Bond’s most famous actors — this is a story about nostalgia, determination, and making a childhood dream real.

It’s not about gadgets.
It’s not about speed.
It’s about the moment you realise that sometimes, the most unlikely car can carry the biggest story.
