The only character with class in the movie, it boasts a fantastic equipage including dual machine-guns beneath the headlights, razor-sharp hub caps to shred a pursuer's tires, and a passenger seat which ejects its occupant if he happens to look like an ex-member of the Viet Cong, work for Goldfinger, and be holding a pistol to Bond's throat...
