IFF grundades som en ideell organisation 1992 av Dr Michael L. VanBlaricum, Douglas Redenius och John Cork. IFF är tillägnas studier om och bevarandet av historien om Ian Flemings litterära verk, fenomenet James Bond och dess inverkan på populärkultur. Ett av IFF:s mål är att hitta, återställa, bevara och arkivera Ian Flemings ursprungliga verk och alla efterföljande produkter av hans arbete. Detta inkluderar filmerna liksom varor och minnessaker från filmerna.
Under dess mer än 20-åriga existens har IFF kommit över 34 fordon som har använts i skapandet av James Bond filmerna från EON Productions. Dessa unika fordon har blivit ikoniska med den nyskapande filmserien. Bond-filmerna förändrade filmskapandet under andra halvan av 1900-talet och fortsätter att göra det än i dag.

• 1969 Cougar XR-7 2DR Convertible used extensively in the production of On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), from the pre-title sequence all the way through to the chase in the Swiss alps. It has been well cared for and is in remarkable shape for its age.
