Product Information

200 copies sold out in 2 hoursOnly 100 copies left, available only in USA at RandomHouse.com It is with the greatest delight that we present the Bentley Special Series edition of Devil May Care. The ultimate in luxury editions -- this beautifully crafted book represents a unique alliance between two of the world's most iconic brands: James Bond and Bentley Motors. Cars and James Bond have always had a special association -- our favourite spy is suitably famed for his fast cars and even faster driving. Whether it's in pursuit of an arch-nemesis or a beautiful woman, Bond is always at home behind the wheel of a luxury sports car. Contrary to popular belief however, Bond's preference has historically been firmly with Bentley Motors. In the course of the fourteen original Bond novels, Fleming wrote of Bond owning three Bentleys -- the last of which was a Bentley R-type, which Bond lovingly referred to as 'the locomotive'. These were Bond's personal cars -- the cars that Fleming thought most epitomized the discernment and style of his hero. In Devil May Care, written by Sebastian Faulks to celebrate the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth, it is fitting that Bond is found once again in the driving seat of his favorite motor -- the Bentley. To mark this momentous occasion, the publishers approached the famous Crewe firm to produce a Bentley edition of the book. This beautifully crafted luxury edition is the result. Bringing together the design and materials that epitomise the quality and craftsmanship of Bentley Motors, this is the perfect celebration of the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth. Only 300 copies of the Special Series edition will be produced worldwide, with only 100 available in the US, costing $1500 each. A HISTORY OF BOND AND BENTLEY In Casino Royale -- we first hear of Bond's fascination with Bentleys -- he drives: 'One of the last of the 4 ?-litre Bentleys with the supercharger by Amherst Villiers, he had bought it almost new in 1933 and had kept it in careful storage through the war. It was still serviced every year and, in London, a former Bentley mechanic, who worked in a garage near Bond's Chelsea flat, tended it with jealous care. Bond drove it hard and well and with an almost sensual pleasure. It was a battleship-grey convertible coupe, which really did convert, and it was capable of touring at ninety with thirty miles an hour in reserve.' Bond writes off his first Bentley in Moonraker -- after which he takes delivery of a Mark VI. 'The 1953 Mark VI, had an open touring body. It was battleship grey like the old 4 ? litre that had gone to its grave in a Maidstone garage, and the dark blue leather upholstery gave a luxurious hiss as he climbed awkwardly in beside the test driver.' The Mark VI however is quickly surpassed by Bond's third and final Bentley -- the Continental, which Fleming describes as the most selfish car in England. This is the car that Bond drives in Thunderball and subsequently in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. 'It was a MK (V) I Continental Bentley that some rich idiot had married to a telegraph pole on the Great West Road. Bond had bought the bits for 1,500 and Rolls had straightened the bend in the chassis and fitted new clockwork - the Mark VI engine with 9.5 compression.' This is the car that most seems to have captured Fleming's imagination -- he researched the specification carefully, going into meticulous detail as to the car's modifications. Writing to his friend Whitney Straight he states: 'In connection with James Bond's new car, I would like it to be a cross between a Continental Bentley and a Ford Thunderbird - i.e. a smallish cockpit with a long bonnet line and a large boot behind.' He is thought to have based the car on a custom modified Bentley Continental designed by French coachbuilder Henri Chapron (http: //www.continental.org.uk/index.htm'http: //www.continental.org.uk/bond.htm). Fleming goes on to describe the novel
