Summary

In the movie "For your eyes only", James Bond alias Roger Moore was supposed to flee in a white Lotus Esprit S3 Turbo, but it exploded before he could get away. The only alternative available was a yellow Citroën 2 CV. The chase with the duck went down in film history, and Citroën produced a special "2 CV 007" model. This driving report shows one of the 1000 Bond ducks produced and describes its role in the film, illustrated with many spectacular pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)

It wasn't planned like this! When James Bond alias Roger Moore runs back to his white Lotus Esprit S3 Turbo in the movie "For your eyes only", it blows up as a result of an extraordinarily effective anti-theft device. Melina Havelock takes the agent by the hand and leads him to her car. Bond hesitates when he sees the car. But a hail of bullets convinces him that a Citroën 2 CV is still the better choice than staying behind. At least he manages to turn the knob to open the door straight away, thank God the car wasn't locked. And off we go! Melina alias Carole Bouquet - that's the pretty lady whose gaze always seems to be aimed 100 meters behind the camera - sits at the wheel and tries to escape the bad guys sitting in two Peugeot 504s. The 2 CV 6 already has a number of bullet holes in the boot lid. A tail light shatters, the glass above the speedometer shatters into a thousand pieces. "I am afraid, we are being outhorsepowered," Bond murmurs, probably thinking of the two (steering) horsepower that gave the Deux Chevaux its name.
