Interesting to note; Craig's Aston Martin is left handed - the wheel is
on the left - for right-driving countries. Bond's Aston Martin was
always right handed - made in Britain for British roads - where people
drive on the left side of the road.

That's a really stupid thing for them to get wrong!

That screenshot comes from the Bahamas - note the licence plate which
reads 'Bahamas'. Bahamas is a left-driven country/series of islands but
Bond ...

,,,, wins the Aston Martin in a game of cards? Something like that. So
I assume the Aston Martin was made as a left handed drive or the owner
of the Aston adapted it to suit driving on the right.

Here is the original Aston Martin DB5 as seen in Goldfinger. The
steering wheel is on the right (if you were in the car).

Wikipedia:
'Aston Martin Lagonda Limited is a British manufacturer of luxury cars
headquartered at Gaydon, Warwickshire, England. The company name was
derived from the Aston Clinton hill climb and the company's founder,
Lionel Martin. Today, Aston Martin is part of the Premier Automotive
Group division of Ford Motor Company.'
The American Aston Martins have the wheel on the left but the Bahamas
in a left driven country so you could argue it's a mistake for Bond to
drive using a left handed steering wheel. But perhaps the previous
owner bought the car in America!
Geeky, ain' it? :)
