The numberplate reads CUB1 so this must be Albert "Cubby" Broccoli's (the producer of the Bond films) car. It later had a role in A View to a Kill (wearing a different numberplate) /vehicle_2642-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Cloud-II-1962.html Although Broccoli has passed on, the car is still on the road today: The vehicle details for CUB 1 are: Date of Liability 01 02 2009 Date of First Registration 24 08 1962 Year of Manufacture Not Available Cylinder Capacity (cc) 6230CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour SILVER -- Last edit: 2008-09-03 11:10:17 |

The car used in "A View to A Kill" is an other car, actually a Bentley S.1 with a RR radiator, painted in "Shell Grey". The Broccoli's car is "Shell Grey over Dove Grey". The black car is a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 'Skyliner' (retractable hardtop convertible). |

Just did a Google search ("Cubby Broccoli rolls-royce view to a kill") and various websites still say it was his Rolls in A View to a Kill. The car in the photo at the bottom of this page Link to "www.007magazine.co.uk" is same colour as the one in AVTAK, has the CUB1 numberplate and notice both cars have the same badges in front of the grille (albiet in a different order in each film) the same foglights and the same aerial above the windscreen. The car must have been repainted. |

The pale car in the link has a driver door mirror and wipers which park untidily on the screen. I have absolutely no info on whether the wiper thing is a genuine production change (it would be useful if it gave us an SC1 versus SC2 separation and also for Bentley S1/S2), but makes me think 2 different cars, with the main (grey) car with tidy wiper parking as a newer one. |

Or maybe it's 2 different cars but both were still his and the personalised registration was transferred. |

Probably - I wasn't trying to suggest anything more. But if any of our RR experts can comment on the wiper arrangements it could become very helpful as we've millions of undecided SC1/SC2 and S1/S2 to play with. |

Maybe it's just a matter of what position the wipers happened to have been left in when they were last used. |

Maybe, indeed ... let's hope The Knowledgeable Ones can lead us out of this darkness of uncertainty. |
