Recently my wife and I visited the New Forest National Park, situated on the south coast of England. We stayed at The Master Builders house hotel for several nights which overlooks a tributary of the River Solent. The rear enjoys beautiful views and at the bottom of hotel grounds is a gate which leads to the marina.
We took our dog max and in the morning would take him immediately outside the gate past an old boat that for all intents and purposes appeared to have been the victim of bad weather and been stranded on the bank side.
After a couple of days and on closer inspection it turns out to be the boat used in Quantum of Solace where Greene hands over the girl to the General and is chased by Bond.
Later that evening my wife and I ordered 2 Vespers and drank to it’s health.
Don’t know how it ended up there, the hotel staff had no idea.
Not a thrilling story but a genuine piece of film memorabilia from a much underrated movie.
Thanks to David for a wonderful site.
It may not be a thrilling but it is a great story! So cool thank you for sharing.
I guess that as where you were staying is near where The Bond In Motion exhibition is at the National Motor Museum, then it could be there as a promotion of the attraction . If you look at the photo of the display board giving details it shows the Bond in Motion logo.
Just got back from the Bond in motion exhibition at the national motor museum Beaulieu and it was great. Seeing the actual vehicles there in front of you brings it all to life. Love the site by the way.
Nice find , you see we have people all over .
Thanks for sharing the pictures. Lucky you, would love to have seen it myself. The boat looks rather weather beaten now doesn’t it?
