First James Bond movie where Ernst Stavro Blofeld has owned a Rolls-Royce. The make and model is a 1948 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, as identified by James Bond in the desert. The car's color scheme includes red and black. The last and only other time that a villain in a Bond movie owned a Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith was Aristotle Kristatos (Julian Glover in Solo per i tuoi occhi (1981)). Bond ally Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendáriz) owned a Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith in A 007, dalla Russia con amore (1963). M owns a Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith in Ian Fleming's "Dr. No" (1958) novel, the only appearance of this make and model in the Fleming stories, though Rolls-Royce vehicles appeared in three other Fleming Bond novels. Also, other previous Bond movie villains Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan in Octopussy - Operazione piovra (1983)) and Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe in Agente 007 - Missione Goldfinger (1964)) owned Rolls-Royces, but not Silver Wraiths, they being a black Rolls-Royce Phantom III, and a black and yellow 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III, respectively. The Rolls-Royce luxury car seen in 007 - Bersaglio mobile (1985), a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II, which was driven by Sir Godfrey Tibbet (Patrick Macnee), was owned by Albert R. Broccoli, one of that movie's producers, and co-founding producer of the official film franchise. A Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow appeared in 007 - Vendetta privata (1989) and Il mondo non basta (1999). A Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow appeared in three Bond movies: Moonraker - Operazione spazio (1979), Agente 007 - Al servizio segreto di Sua Maestà (1969), and Agente 007 - L'uomo dalla pistola d'oro (1974). In Fleming's Bond novels "Goldfinger" (1959), "The Man With The Golden Gun" (1965), and "From Russia With Love" (1957), the following Rolls-Royce models appear respectively: a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Coupe DeVille (also owned by Kerim Bey, as with the movie version).
