First look at new Ford Mondeo that features in Casino Royale

James Bond fans should prepare to be shaken and stirred. The normally suave secret agent, with a passion for Aston Martins and martini, seems to have developed some distinctly middleclass tastes.

In the forthcoming 007 movie Casino Royale, actor Daniel Craig temporarily abandons his £200,000 supercar for the new £20,000 Ford Mondeo - reports ThisIsLondon.

The original Mondeo had its first facelift in 1996, with a new version in 2000 and the fourth generation is due to hit showrooms in 2007. The latest edition has been given a new styling and a high quality interior - but sadly for 007 it does not include built-in rocket launchers or ejector seats.

Ford currently owns Aston Martin but has put the British luxury car-maker up for sale with a price tag of around £1billion.

However, fans should rest assured that, while he drives the Mondeo in an emergency, his main car in Casino Royale will be a specially created 200mph Aston Martin DBS coupe in its own unique colour - Casino Ice.
