Not a Mangusta or Miura.

A Bond proposal, sketched by Alan Pounder.
The car was dubbed 'Competition 875' or 'Apex'

Wow Oswald, I am impressed.  I thought this one might last a while longer, as I thought that exotic De Tomaso/Lamborghini-style would fool lots of people.  Well done, a well-deserved point is yours.

Here's a bonus front 3/4 sketch of the same car.

The Bond of goofy 3-wheeled car fame?

Bond also manufactured 4-wheeled cars.
I used to own a 1965 Bond Equipe, it used Triumph drivetrain with a fiber glass body.
Pretty neat little car ..... wish I still had it.

Yes, it is the same Bond as the odd three-wheelers.  Had this small coupe actually made it into production, I suspect it would not have looked quite as exotic as these sketches!

And it would probably have had 3 wheels as well!!
