In the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No, which sports car does Bond drive in Jamaica?

The story behind the answer

In the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No, Bond drives a Sunbeam Alpine in Jamaica.

The light-blue Sunbeam Alpine appears during Bond’s investigation on the island. It is notably different from the luxury Aston Martins that later became strongly associated with the character. The Alpine’s open two-seat design suits the film’s Caribbean setting and helps establish Bond’s mobile, resourceful image before the series developed its familiar formula of custom gadgets and exotic grand tourers.

The car is involved in the pursuit of Bond by Dr. No’s forces, including a chase through Jamaica. The model was produced by the Rootes Group and was known as a British sports car rather than a high-powered supercar. The Sunbeam Alpine should not be confused with the Sunbeam Tiger, a later V8-powered development of the Alpine. Dr. No, released in 1962, was the first Eon-produced James Bond film.
