Bond has to make do with this on-island transport as this was in his pre-Aston days (pre-Goldfinger) and his Bently was back in England. He uses this car to out manoeuvre the pursuing hearse containing The Three Blind Mice whilst on the way to Miss Taro's house.
This vehicle put fear of God into the native population of Jamaica-its intended purpose. Dr No's henchmen use it to scare locals away from Crab Key and has the superstitious notion of "The Dragon" spread. Basically it is a tank with a flame-thrower instaed of a turret, as Quarrel finds out when he is torched alive.
