The James Bond Experience - car museum!
I saw this on tv recently and did a little search. Museum is located about 90 minutes outside of London and boasts the largest collection of cars used in the films.
Gott love the "submarine" Lotus:

A little Ian Flemming trivia for you guys: He also wrote "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". Another cool car, which I think is also at the Beaulieu museum.

Here is perhaps the most famous Bond car of all....his original Aston Martin DB7.
And it's not even British Racing Green. Shame, shame.......

I wonder how they maintain those cars, do they take it out once in a while to get an oil change or just let it sit.

I'm pretty sure it was a DB5 not a DB7.

It was a DB5 but mmarshall is right - that is the iconic James Bond car. I had the Corgi model as a child, it had an ejector seat, rear bullet shield and revolving number plates and I loved it.
