He was not bred into English upper class at all. He should look a tad out of place in elegant surroundings. Fleming dropped his own favorite affectations onto his character: shaken, not stirred, his cigarette brand, Sea Island cotton shirts, and (most ridiculously) a 30's Bentley Blower--first novels written in the 50's--quite a conspicuous car for off-duty personal transportation.

Fleming saw himself as a flamboyant yet it was mostly affectation absorbed from the clubiness of Britain's intel community.
