All I need to please me…
1971 saw the return of Sean Connery to the role of 007, and the start of the more light-hearted James Bond films of the 1970s and 80s. Now Diamonds may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it does have some great moments and some great memorabilia. From model reproductions of the Ford Mustang and Moon Buggy to Shirley Bassey 7" theme singles to Bic cigarette lighters, there is a bit of something for every budget. So, hopefully my Diamonds Are Forever collection will 'stimulate and tease' you, enjoy…
