The Spy Who Loved Me

[Paul Coleman]

Watching TSWLM over the weekend for a bit of inspiration during the restoration of my series 1 I wondered if the engine noises heard on the film are actual or whether they've been 'enhanced' in any way. As I've never owned or driven a series 1 I'm curious to know?

Thanks, Paul.

Sounds just like the S1 I drove - you could hear it streets away, a nice set of gurgly carbs -

[Tony K]

Yeah, mine sounds like that, too. . . .

I was only having this conversation with my Missus the other day. Mine sounds just like the one in the film.

Scenery arounbd here's not quite up to Sardinia though!

That's excellent - I can't wait to drive mine now!! I've got another couple of years though until mine will be finished so I shall have to make do with the film every time I need a 'fix' hehehe

Funny that

I think the dubbed engine noise was on For Your Eyes Only from what I remember. It sounds like a V8, not a Turbo.

Could be Mark ... that would add up because it sounds like an S1 to me in The Spy Who Loved Me.
