In Die Another Day, the obligatory Bond babe is Jinx, a.k.a. actress Halle Berry. Her vehicle of choice is a coral Thunderbird convertible. The coral paint, similar to the Sunset Coral hue offered on the 1956 Thunderbird, matches the bikini Berry wears in her role as Jinx. The movie car inspired Ford to offer 700 special 2003 Limited Edition 007 Ford Thunderbirds, featuring coral paint, 21-spoke chrome wheels, performance white seats and interior accents, and a subtle 007 badge on the back of the car and on the glove box. Each vehicle also features a numbered, commemorative plaque mounted on the inside of the glove box. This car is number 397 of the 700 made. Only 694 were sold, with the rest being used for show cars.
One owner raves that this car is like a "3-in-one" vehicle, as it comes with a white hard top, a black soft top, and can also be driven as an open-air convertible. What they didn't mention is that you can switch between automatic and manual transmission controls. While this particular car has been driven and shows signs of normal wear, it is still in very good condition. What looks like "stripes" in the above pictures is sunlight coming through the fence. As shown, there is a small scratch on the passenger side. The seats are roomy, the trunk spacious, and with it's V8 engine, it drives well with lots of power.
