The Alpine is not considered a Bond Car because it was not tricked out and issued to Bond. As I recall, it was a very pedestrian rental he picked up upon arrival. But maybe we should abide by Salinte's tag line "Never spoil a good story by sticking to the truth."

Bond folks are a picky lot. I wouldn't dare contradict them.

The Alpine was driven by Bond in a chase scene. That's good enough for me!

I watched the video again and realized the vehicle chasing Bond is a 1939 LaSalle. I had the coupe version as my 3rd car in 1966. Then I got a MkVII Jaguar, which I cosmetically restored, and the affinity for Anglo-saxon vehicles never left me. My British collection, mostly Sunbeams, now has eleven with 6 parts cars. Upon reflection, I believe it was the inescapable and long lasting impression from my youth watching the first five Bond movies that put the Anglian whammy on me.
