Dinky Toys 101; Sunbeam Alpine; Light Blue, Dark Blue Interior, Blue Hubs, Grey Driver

In the book of Dr No by Ian Fleming Strangways, the local Secret Service man in Jamaica, drives a Sunbeam Alpine. He is murdered very early in the film and Bond is allocated his car to use while investigating his and his assistant's disappearance. In the film Sean Connery drives a 1962 model car. In 1955 when the book was written, this is what the car would have looked like - except Strangways' car was black.
