From Pitsea with Love - trainee Bond girls Sophie and Jade Gradwell were delighted to clamber aboard a speedboat used in a classic 007 film.
The boat is now stationed at Wat Tyler Country Park, as one of the many attractions on offer at the motorboat museum.
The Sean Connery classic, From Russia With Love, saw the boat travelling down a river evading evil Spectre agents.
With Bond at the helm, it managed to avoid the explosions and gunshots to end up as a museum exhibit.
With ITV's 007 season riding high in the ratings, and a new Bond film due out in November, the girls were delighted to take a closer look at the boat that once belonged to Britain's favourite secret agent.
All aboard - Sophie, six, and Jade, ten, enjoy a spell on the world's most famous secret agent's speedboat
