I watched a show about the Bond cars a while back and they talked to the director about that scene. It was a pretty funny f*ckup.

Another fascinating Bond car fact was that the convertible Toyota 2000GT used in You Only Live Twice started life as a Coupe. Sean Connery couldn't fit in the coupe (too tall), so Toyota engineers chopped the top and turned the car into a functional convertible in only two weeks.
