1. Five of the Best Bond Baddies' Cars
2. A Black Mercedes
3. Citroen Traction Avant
4. Rolls-Royce Phantom III
5. Jaguar E-Type Convertible

Let's face it, when you imagine what a traditional baddy should be driving in a Bond movie you probably think of a black car. Well, the screenwriters tend to agree with you. Among the vast array of pursuers' black cars are a Citroen Traction Avant, Ford Skyliner, Toyota Crown, Ford Taunus, Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Sierra, Range Rover and several black motorcycles.

However, the preferred badge for the baddies is undoubtedly the Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star. It seemed to begin in 1964 in Goldfinger with a Mercedes 190. Next up was an appearance in On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969. Fast forward to 1983 and both Bond and Kamal Kahn both used Mercedes-Benz 250 SEs and even as recently as 1997 we noticed another dark Merc in Tomorrow Never Dies.
