Cast

The narrative of The Living Daylights movie takes Bond to an airfield in Afghanistan – filmed on location in Ouarzazate, Morocco between September 1986 and February 1987 – where he drives a military utility vehicle which has registration plate 38-60 BW.

The car used in filming these scenes was a 1984 open-top Land Rover Ninety, modified by the movie studio's prop-shop to have the appearance of a Russian UAZ-like jeep. The car is clearly identifiable as a Land Rover Ninty by the shape of the bonnet and the air-vents beneath the windscreen.
