The Stig Returns
8th February 2012
British racing car driver Ben Collins, better
known to "Top Gear" fans as The Stig, is back in the
employment of James Bond. The driver, who has worked on all of
Daniel Craig's outings as 007, was seen behind the wheel on location
with the "Skyfall" production
team in London dressed in the same outfit as Bond this week.
MI6 understands that in the scenes photographed
here, Bond - Collins doubling Craig - is behind the wheel of
M's personal car, a Jaguar XJL (not the XF as some media are
reporting). The scenes were
captured in Tower Hill where Craig
was spotted filming a scene chasing a taxi whilst wielding his
PPK.
Also returning in "Skyfall" is 007's
Aston Martin DB5. As first
revealed by MI6 back in December,
the world's most famous
car will be seeing action again with Bond and M onboard. Filming
already took place in in the London Borough of Lewisham before
Christmas, but the shot below was captured this week close to
Goldsmith College.
