The study found that George Lazenby was the most cautious 007. The actor starred in only one Bond film, and Lazenby’s Bond destroys only two cars which cost around £117,000 to replace in 2022.

The study found that, unsurprisingly, the iconic Sean Connery had the flashiest car collection of all the 007’s too, with a current value of a whopping £1.6 million.

As for the cars that cost the most to fix, the most recent Bond, Daniel Craig takes second place causing £564,658 worth of damages. Daniel Craig’s car collection includes three Aston Martins, with one spectacularly written off after sinking to the bottom of the Tiber during a car chase in Rome.

Timothy Dalton ranks in third place, causing £232,750 worth of damages. Despite only starring in two films and writing off two cars, Dalton makes it into the top three thanks to the self-destruct feature in his 1987 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante, which he is forced to detonate to flee from the KGB.
