8. SOUNDBITE (English) Franck Galiegue, car collector: +NOTE USE OF VULGARITY IN SOUNDBITE+
“What’s funny about collecting cars from famous movies is that you don’t collect one type of cars. It’s not only supercars or only Ferraris or only whatever, it’s a mix of every type of car you can imagine, from really crappy ones, to really high-end ones. We go from a Renault Fuego to an Aston Martin DBS, to a Batmobile. Of course, it’s not a cheap hobby. That’s why I turned it into a business, to be able to sustain the hobby. Roughly to date the collection, we have more than 55 cars, and it’s worth maybe 3 or 4 million (euros), because most of the cars were bought, I started almost 20 years ago, so some of the cars, they’re worth much more now than when I got them first.”

9. Aston Martin DBS, similar to the Aston Martin driven by Daniel Craig as James Bond in Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace (2008)
10. Various of a limited-edition BMW 750, a limited number of which were produced after the 1997 James Bond film ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’
11. Various of a BMW Z3, a limited number of which were sold after the 1995 film ‘Goldeneye’
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Franck Galiegue, car collector:
“It’s (BMW Z3),a 007 special edition that was only sold 100 units back when the car launched, because it launched the same time as Goldeneye, the movie with Pierce Brosnan, and what’s funny is this car it has a 007 plaque inside, more importantly there is 007 in the chassis number of the car. That makes it like super, super special. The DBS is just a DBS, but it’s a manual and it’s really rare. Ever since I saw Daniel Craig driving one in Casino Royale I just wanted one. It took me more than ten years, but I got it, and it’s probably my favourite driving car of the collection."

13. Various of a replica of the Delorean DMC-12, which featured in the 1985 to 1990 film series ‘Back to the Future’
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Franck Galiegue, car collector:
“If I had to pick my favourite car among the collection, I would still say the Delorean, again because it’s the movie that probably I watched the most in my childhood. It’s the car I was really craving for. I had an obsession with getting this car. As soon as I started working I was like 21 and I bought one, but it’s not the best to drive. The best to drive is definitely is the DBS.”
