PAGEANT OF POWER GAINS �LICENCE TO THRILL�,

AS ORGANISERS CONFIRM BOND IN MOTION LINE-UP

James Bond fans will be left shaken and stirred at this year�s event, as we have confirmed that a thrilling line-up of genuine Bond cars will be on display.� In association with the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, who are hosting a Bond in Motion exhibition that celebrates 50 years of the iconic British spy�s presence on the silver screen, the 2012 Pageant will showcase some of the machinery that starred alongside Pierce Brosnan.

Cars on show during the three-day event will include the vanishing Aston Martin V12 Vanquish from Die Another Day.� Codenamed �The Vanish� by MI6 in the 20th Bond film, the car featured an �Adaptive Camouflage� cloaking system, which allowed it to become invisible to the naked eye at the push of a button.� �The Vanish� was also equipped with a generous quota of Bond gadgetry, including twin .50-calibre autocannons, rocket projectiles, dorsal target-seeking shotguns, and a passenger ejector seat � in homage to the original Aston Martin DB5.

Also on show at the 2012 Pageant will be the (Jaguar XKR) and Ice Dragster driven by Bond-villains Zao and Gustav Graves in Die Another Day, and the beautiful BMW Z8 from The World Is Not Enough.

The 2012 Pageant�s 007 celebration is a satellite exhibition of Beaulieu National Motor Museum�s �Bond in Motion� season, which features many of the most famous Bond cars from the last 50 years.� The exhibition is currently a major highlight of the museum�s celebrated automotive collection.
