James Bond Car Trivia: Toyopet or Topoyet?
George_San_Jose11
I’m presently reading the Ian Fleming James Bond novel “You Only LIve Twice” and found a car related trivia mistake. The story takes place in early 1960’s Japan. The car Bond is driving is first referred to as a “Toyopet”, later it is a “Topoyet”. Toyopet is the right name I think, later to be just “Toyota”. The other name is a typo. Not saying this is important or interesting fact, other than editing mistakes like this are pretty rare in widely sold popular books of the 1960’s. With this info, you might could win a bar bet at least.
You can search out the two versions of the car name if you like, here

Yes, Toyopet is correct.
And, while editing/proofreading is definitely much worse of late than it was in the '60s, the fact remains that there have always been editing/proofreading errors in books. As evidence of that, there is an edition of The Bible–published in the 1700s–that transforms The Parable of The Vineyard into “The Parable of the Vinegar”! However, there have been lots of other biblical misprints over a period of hundreds of years. Take a look at this:

Throughout history, printers' errors and peculiar translations have appeared in Bibles published throughout the world. The Book of Deer has a number of errors. In the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke, it has Seth as the first man and grandfather of Adam. In various printings of the King James Version of the Bible, some of the more famous examples have been given their own names. Among them are:
And, to keep this on an automotive footing, as I mentioned in another recent post, one book that I read recently referred to the Hillman Minx as “a luxury car”. While not a typo, that misinfo 29th October, 2012 Included were behind-the-scenes looks at Skyfall during filming, interviews with Bond actors and directors and stories of how the various cars were chosen, outfitted and then filmed – including delving into the original Ian Fleming novels. Although there was no voiceover during the introductory sequence, this special featured an alternate title sequence where scenes from the James Bond franchise were interspersed with footage from the upcoming episode, before a special title card displays "Fifty Years of Bond Cars" in the same font and colour as the 1995 film GoldenEye. For over 50 years, the character of James Bond has ruled the world of big-screen action. Throughout its 23 installments, over a quarter of the world's population has seen what the super-spy gets up to in his day job. And no-one does watches, sharks or villains better than his film series. However, when it comes to cars, Bond is in a league of his own. Various car-centric scenes from each of the movies then alternate with childrens' recreations of these iconic scenes from the series, such as the climactic car-based fight in Die Another Day between Bond in a Vanquish and Zao in a Jaguar XKR, or the jump from the end of a pier into the ocean in The Spy Who Loved Me before the episode begins with arguably the most iconic car featured in James Bond; the Aston Martin DB5. Spy Octane: The Vehicles of James Bond celebrates the gadget-laden Aston Martin DB5 and dozens more vehicles used by 007, his allies and his foes through the air, on land and in the sea.
