Could you fix Bond's car?

MI5 recruiting panel beaters for top secret repair mission

- Tony Whitfield

AS any James Bond fan knows, a spy’s car can have a notoriously short shelf life, being subject to all manner of dramatic stunts.

Now Britain’s secret agents are looking for recruits to breathe life into their damaged vehicles.

MI5, the domestic version of 007’s MI6, wants panel beaters to work from one of its two body shops in London.

They are seeking enthusiastic people to strip vehicles, repair or replace damaged panels and “prepare vehicles for refinishing to ensure repairs are unnoticeable”.
