Fifty iconic and exclusive vehicles of the British character James Bond will be housed at the Brussels Expo from 9 December to 14 May 2023 for the 'Bond in Motion' exhibition.

This year, James Bond celebrates 60 years on the big screen, with the 1962 film 'Dr. No' having been the first of a series that still continues today. To date, there have been four different Bond actors, with much speculation being placed on who will be the next.

The exhibition 'Bond in Motion' was previously shown in London and Los Angeles, and will soon be arriving in Brussels.
