-- ◊ 2004-09-21 19:40	Dans le précédent épisode de la série (l'espion qui m'aimait), la Lotus Esprit avait de nombreux gadgets, donc pour équilibrer, cette fois-ci Bond utilise son intelligence uniquement! -- Last edit: dvdmike
BX14RE ◊ 2005-04-16 14:57	Pour info,ce n'est pas une 2cv a moteur GS mais une Ami Super(donc moteur GS)avec une caisse transformée(capot rallongé) de 2cv
BX14RE ◊ 2005-04-17 00:40	De plus,maintenant que je regardes la photo convenablement,il me semble que les 2CV avec des phares rectangles etaient seulement les club donc meme si ca avait ete une 2CV a moteur GS et non une Ami Super,ca aurait ete une club
antp ◊ 2005-10-30 21:56	Quote Il s'agit d'une 2CV6 Spécial On voit pourtant un sigle "2CV6 Club" dans une scène, ce qui confirme ce que dit BX14RE:
jplemoine ◊ 2006-04-26 14:08	Il en a été tiré après coup une série spéciale 2CV OO7, sur la base d'une 2CV Spécial, mais celle du film est bien une Club sur châssis Ami Super.
benadiel ◊ 2006-08-07 15:02	c'est une club, c'est comme pour le port salut, c'est écrit dessus… pour la série spéciale, il s'agissait bien d'un spécial avec des phares rectangulaires… une sorte d'exception puisque les spécial de série ont toujours porté des phares ronds
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2006-10-08 01:22	Obviously fake Spanish number plates. The IMDB says that the Spanish scenes were filmed in Corfu. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0082398/locations
modell ◊ 2006-10-08 03:29	Why did Bond have to drive this car? Whyyyy? :\

modell ◊ 2006-10-08 03:55	junkman wrote A girl came along with it and Bond simply took it and her over. I know, I didn't mean specifically. I meant, why couldn't the girl have driven an Aston Martin or a Jag?
Hiergehts ◊ 2006-10-08 08:38	modell wrote Why did Bond have to drive this car? Whyyyy? :\ Probably to make the chase more "interesting" as an Aston or Jag would have had no problems dealing with the baddies 504's. I think this is one of the better chases on film, not so much from the driving quality, but just in that it was one involving "die Ente" (the Duck), which many look upon as not a serious car..
wickey ◊ 2006-10-08 13:19	I like this chase the most from the whole james bond series maybe aston vs. XKR from the last one should be compared to it.
antp ◊ 2006-10-08 14:05	Yes this chase was funny. As said in French above, this time James had to use his skills rather than car's gadgets.
Aziz ◊ 2006-10-09 16:09	Pourquoi un moteur de GS?C'etait pourtant pô la première fois que la 2CV était utilisée dans une poursuite,et,jusque-là,toujours avec son vrai moteur!
easyracer ◊ 2006-12-21 20:26	La propriétaire de cette 2cv était Carole Bouquet me semble-t-il...
antp ◊ 2006-12-21 21:07	Dans le film, oui, mais pas en vrai (vu que la voiture a été construite pour le film sur un châssis d'une autre auto)
easyracer ◊ 2006-12-22 07:22	antp wrote Dans le film, oui, mais pas en vrai (vu que la voiture a été construite pour le film sur un châssis d'une autre auto) C'est bien ce que je voulais dire
gliffhanger ◊ 2007-01-19 12:48	In 1981, a bright yellow and surprisingly robust 2CV is driven by James Bond in the film For Your Eyes Only, including an elaborate set-piece car chase through a Spanish olive farm. Bond uses the unique abilities of the modestly powered 2CV to escape his pursuers in conventional sedans. The car in the film was fitted with the flat-4 engine from a Citroën GS for slightly more power. One of the many limited production series of 2CV in the 1980s was a series of "2CV James Bond" vehicles fitted with the standard flat-2 engine, painted in yellow with '007' on the front doors and fake bullet holes. This car was also popular in miniature, from Corgi Toys.

Kooshmeister ◊ 2008-03-17 19:20	junkman wrote A girl came along with it and Bond simply took it and her over. That, and his Lotus got blown to smithereens as I recall.
mercman93 ◊ 2008-08-03 23:52	when my dads friend was in italy he saw a truck full of smashed citroen 2cv's from the bond film
G-MANN ◊ 2008-10-08 17:47	After Bond's Lotus explodes (what's the point of an anti-theft device if it involves destroying the car?), Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet) takes him to her car, which turns out to be a Citroen 2CV (somewhat less glamourous than what Bond is used to), in which they flee from the baddies. "Take the low road!" "Not that low!" After that Bond decides to drive. -- Last edit: 2008-10-08 17:49:18
Kooshmeister ◊ 2008-10-18 14:53	G-MANN wrote (what's the point of an anti-theft device if it involves destroying the car?) Same reason as a self-destruct mechanism. To prevent the villains from having it. You'll recall Bond's Aston Martin in The Living Daylights had a self-destruct. -- Last edit: 2008-10-18 14:54:32
Jonnie Comet ◊ 2011-10-09 10:32	The 2-CV of this vintage is noteworthy for having a higher horsepower-to-displacement ratio than the early-'80s Corvette: 29 cubic inches, 31 horsepower. Thousands of farmers in France, Italy and Spain can't be wrong.
4runnerv6 ◊ 2011-11-02 22:04	"love a drive in the country don't you?"
kudos ◊ 2012-08-02 13:30	Wikipedia wrote The 1981 James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only caused a surge in sales of the car in Chile where it was specially imported from Spain to meet demand (mostly in yellow), since it had already been phased out on the Chilean assembly line.
kudos ◊ 2012-08-02 13:35	Jaune Mimosa (AC 333) available 1979-1980.
Gilou40560 ◊ 2014-03-22 21:23	Ce n'est pas le jaune Mimosa mais le jaune Hélios ! Le jaune Mimosa a été utilisé sur les 2CV 007 mais celle du film était bien jaune Hélios.
Gilou40560 ◊ 2014-03-22 21:25	Et ce n'est pas du tout une Ami Super mais bel et bien une 2CV 6 Club préparée en Angleterre par Ken Sheppard. J'ai vu une de ces voitures au Conservatoire Citroën et elle n'a rien à voir avec une Ami Super !
jpts ◊ 2015-09-12 16:25	modell wrote Why did Bond have to drive this car? Whyyyy? :\ I saw the Bond Cars special, and Roger Moore told Hammond that the car was his favorite. Hammond said that one of those would cost £7000 plus "All of your dignity" as he put it.
classiccarlover ◊ 2016-02-14 16:52	Considering that many think that the 2CV is a fragile car, this one handles a lot of beating and still runs as if it was nothing.
veturiloj ◊ 2017-06-21 11:53	Un petit film sur le tournage d'une cascade avec cette voiture: http://memoire.ciclic.fr/1410-tournage-d-un-james-bond
Aurora ◊ 2018-06-13 19:24	This is one of my favorite James Bond cars
copernicus ◊ 2018-06-22 15:44	The car chase involving the 2CV was filmed in Pagi village on Corfu, a small village I know very well having driven through it many times myslef.
Noko Tau ◊ 2018-09-13 12:14	That is a 1980 Citroën 2CV6 Club, not a 1981 model That stunt sequence was shot on Corfu in September 1980 -- Last edit: 2018-09-13 12:16:11
Gamer ◊ 2018-09-13 12:30	...which is late enough for a 1981 model year.
mgisbert ◊ 2018-11-15 17:04	Moteur GS 1.015 cc.- 55,5 CV. ( 29 d'origine ), 700 Kg. (560Kg. d'origine).Dotée d'importants renforts de securité, double arceaux, tôle "ski" sous moteur, boîte vitesses et suspensions renforcées, hauteur de caisse augmentée afin de supporter les cascades les plus folles du tournage, misses au point par le cascadeur Français Rémy Julienne.

bhomburg ◊ 2021-07-08 16:53	Gilou40560 wrote Et ce n'est pas du tout une Ami Super mais bel et bien une 2CV 6 Club préparée en Angleterre par Ken Sheppard.! The prep crew didn't do too good a job on that as moviegoers could easily discern the modifications to the cars' structure in the scene where it was put up on its wheels again by the villagers after it toppled when they had to evade the oncoming bus. Adding that steel roll cage certainly hasn't helped the power-to-weight ratio at all
mgisbert ◊ 2024-07-25 15:57	El especialista/cascadeur, piloto-conductor era el Francés Rémy Julienne, fallecido el 21 de enero del 2021 con 90 años, después de muchas películas con su equipo. Se utilizaron al menos unas seis unidades del 2CV, la mayoría destruidas durante la filmación en Corfú (Grecia), en septiembre - octubre de 1980, doce días se tardó en rodar la seqüencia de diez minutos. -- Last edit: 2024-07-25 18:21:39
