My father went with me to the local construction permits office to submit a request to expand our house. While we waited for approval, he took me to the theater accross the street to watch a movie. It happened to be The Man With the Golden Gun. After that I fell in love with everything 007 and became a fan. Fast-forward 41 years, Mattel released several cars in 2015 based on the 007 movies: the James Bond Series. Despite all being previous releases, the card art was great, so we got them all.

The Lotus Esprit S1 in white, from The Spy Who Loved Me, and the 1963 Aston Martin DB5, were released in the Mainline on the HW Workshop Segment of HW Garage Series. The Lotus was a 2015 New Casting while the DB5 has been around since 2014. The 2015 007 Collection includes both the S1 and DB5. The cars are: Astom Martin DBS, 1971 Mustang Mach 1, '64 Lincoln Continental, Aston Martin DB5, and Lotus Esprit S1.

But this writing is not about the models just mentioned, but about the ones left out; the possibilities. There is a large number of cars made by Mattel that could be included in a second Agent 007 Series, and many others that would have to be licensed and cast. These include: The following cars are currently or have been produced by Mattel: I am sure I am missing one or two cars. It will be fun to keep adding these to the list.
