Frederick W. Bond: A Legacy of Innovation
Born in 1890, Frederick W. Bond grew up in Brighouse, Yorkshire. After graduating from Huddersfield Technical College, he began his career at Karriers Motors before serving in WWI. In 1926, Bond launched his automotive brand, reflecting his passion for engineering and the evolving motoring industry.
Between 1926 and 1928, Bond crafted seven cars and three specials. Of these, only two remain: Bond 007 and The Nanette Special. His vision and technical skill are exemplified in Bond 007, which combines sleek design with innovative engineering.
Sir Malcolm Campbell, renowned for his speed records, influenced Bond’s creations, commissioning three sports chassis. Bond 007, the final car built under Campbell’s oversight, represents the pinnacle of Bond’s achievements.
Sir Malcolm Campbell and Bond 007
Sir Malcolm Campbell’s collaboration with Bond elevated the marque’s reputation. Campbell’s input into the design of Bond 007 is evident in its sleek chassis, built for performance and style. A period articles described the car as a ‘true speed car from stem to stern’
Painted Campbell Blue, the car was prepared for the 1928 Brooklands Easter Meeting, a testament to its racing pedigree. While Bond 007 did not compete, its development under Campbell’s guidance highlights its engineering significance. Bond’s own advertising material promised ’75mph (minimum)’!
Stunning History with Mysteries Still to Solve.
After its sale from Campbell’s Mayfair showroom in 1928 for £600, Bond 007 disappeared from public records. It reemerged in the late 1950s, albeit in poor condition and fitted with an unsuitable body. Mr. Sawyer’s efforts in the 1960s began the process of preserving the car’s legacy, assembling an extensive history file filled with photographs, letters, and magazine articles.
This dedication to documenting its story connects Bond 007 to its past and ensures its place in automotive history.
Restoration and Modern Recognition
In 2019, Bond 007 underwent a meticulous nut-and-bolt restoration, returning it to its original specification. Now finished in black cellulose paint with nickel accents, the new colour emphasises the car’s elegance and exceptional engineering, and is sharp, uncluttered and clean.
Since its restoration, Bond 007 has garnered attention, winning a trophy at the Salon Privé Concours in 2022 and featuring in Octane magazine in April 2023. Today, it remains a smooth and powerful and composed, echoing its 1928 performance.
