By now you have hopefully viewed Part 1 of the Dezer Collection Museum Tour and like me was floored by the sheer massiveness of the collection.
I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I first booked the videoing of this event as I didn’t expect much. Firstly, most car museums I have been to are cold, damp warehouses with the smell of oil and mildew that are as inviting as a World War bunker. I also was fully expecting the James Bond collection to be housed in a dark corner with a few sloppy posters.
I am delighted to say I was happily and most certainly surprised. The glee in my voice and excitement you see in the video was 100% real! Imagine being lowered by cable into a giant toy box filled with your favorite James Bond toys! Well, that’s what it feels like to visit the Bond wing of the museum.
That all being said, it does beg the question of the type of marketing the museum has conducted that even stalwart Bond fans are either unaware of this Mecca or they, like me, think it will be a meager assembly of pieces. My sincerest advice to The Dezer Collection is to market yourselves using social media, blogs, advocates…and PLEASE changes your website. I say this with the interest in seeing such a wonderful place not only survive but THRIVE!
More video coming in the coming days around the collection with some jaw dropping collectables and goodies!
An amazingly good collection. As you said, the owners should advertise it more. On a personal level, the Aston Martins from ‘The Living Daylights’ and ‘OHMSS’ are the two best Bond cars IMO.
Another great video David. Got worried there for a moment when there was no posting last week, but I knew you would come through! I have to agree with the overall view of car shows in general. Unless they are of a specific style I truly love, I simply walk through with a pedestrian attention span. Again, great work and can’t wait for the follow up. I also agree that the Aston Martin of OHMSS is my second, very close second to first which will always be the 1965 Aston Martin of CR. And as a question, the Defender Land Rover’s in CR were the newer models, I think 1996, I could be wrong. Thanks!

I believe this is the same collection that was on display for years at “The Bond Museum” in Keswick, Cumbria, in the English Lake District. It wasn’t particularly well advertised then either.
Great video. Looking forward to the next part!
When can we expect part 2?
Part 2 will be up shortly…was hoping to have it up yesterday but each of these videos has to go through the filter of Dezer’s approval process…
Ummm…David…you have a few machine guns pointing at you 🙂
This is pretty awesome. The family and I are planning a trip down to Miami in the upcoming weeks…you just found me a place to check out!
Did they have any of the Brosnan or Craig suits there as well?
Happy travels!
