The real deal, Yes, that is a real James Bond Aston Martin DB5 and, yes, it is for sale, really. To mark 60 years of 007, Christie’s is holding a two-part auction. There will be a live auction on 28 September 2022, in which James Bond lots will go under the hammer in London, as well as an online...
1981 Aston Martin V8 (est: £500-700,000), Let’s start with another classic Bond Aston being offered by Christie’s at this commemorative charity auction. You might recognise this from No Time To Die. This Cumberland Grey classic is one of three modified for use in the 2021 film – and this car was...
1981 Aston Martin V8 (cont.), In No Time To Die, Bond gets back to London, heads to his lock-up and reveals this car, which has the same numberplate as the car in 1987’s The Living Daylights, starring Timothy Dalton. Powered by a 5343cc V8, it has a five-speed manual gearbox and a Connolly...
Pre-production Land Rover Defender 110 stunt car (est: £300-500,000), Being sold to benefit the British Red Cross, this is almost worth it for that image alone. We know it is not a classic, for a genuine Bond film car, this is pretty cool. This left-hand-drive, Santorini Black Landie, with a...
Pre-production Land Rover Defender 110 stunt car (cont.), Appropriately, this car is VIN 007… As well as being used in filming, this car was also employed during promotional activity, before No Time To Die was released in cinemas. Working with a team that included James Bond special effects...
Jaguar XF stunt car (est: £50-70,000), Yes, again, this is not a classic, but from its crumpled, Italian numberplate it is clear that this is another bona fide James Bond film car. Being sold by EON Productions in aid of the Carnegie Institution for Science this is, as you might have guessed,...
Jaguar XF stunt car (cont.), As with the Defender, this 2020 model year Jaguar XF was adapted for stunt driving, and is being sold as a non-runner and a collector’s item. No racing across piazzas or charging down ancient cobbled steps, then.
Aston Martin replica DB5 stunt car (est: £1.5-2m), We’ve teased you long enough. Here, in its battle-scarred glory, is the lead lot in this Christie’s 60th-anniversary of James Bond auction. This car was built specifically to perform dynamic stunts during the filming of No Time To Die, and it is,...
Aston Martin replica DB5 stunt car (cont.), And here it is with Daniel Craig at the wheel, in the 25th Bond film, No Time To Die. Finished in Silver Birch, of course, power comes courtesy of a modern 3.2-litre straight-six, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. It is being offered at this sale by...
Aston Martin replica DB5 stunt car (cont.), Of the 25 James Bond films to date, 13 have featured an Aston Martin DB5, making it one of the most famous and distinctive movie-star cars of all time. All the DB5 stunt cars were modified and this one – also being sold as a non-runner – is one of a few...
BMW 750iL model (est: £7-10,000), So, we’ve seen the star car, but for James Bond fans there is still a lot more to get excited about in these two Christie’s auctions. How about this, which has been consigned to the online sale? You might recognise this BMW 750iL from the 1997 film Tomorrow Never...
BMW 750iL model (cont.), That is because this a one-third scale model of that BMW. This 126cm long miniature, with damage for continuity purposes, is one of three surviving models used to film the finale of the car-chase featuring Pierce Brosnan as Bond, on the scaled-down set built for this...
Range Rover Sport SVR stunt car (est: £80-120,000), Yes, this is a modern car, but we’re sure you’ll recall that sweeping vista from No Time To Die. It is another stunt car – although, seemingly, in less battered condition than some of the others going under the hammer. This is one of the six...
Range Rover Sport SVR stunt car (cont.), Despite this car’s apparently good condition, again it is being sold as a non-runner. Recreating that drive along Norway’s famous 5.2-mile Atlantic Ocean Road might be out of the question, then.
007 60th anniversary Land Rover Defender 110 V8 Bond Edition (est: £200-300,000), Here’s a lot that can be driven on the public road – the catch is it was inspired by 007, but has not been used in the filming for a James Bond movie. Looking mean in Santorini Black, with 22-inch gloss-black alloy...
007 60th anniversary Land Rover Defender 110 V8 Bond Edition (cont.), With a 5.0-litre supercharged engine delivering 518bhp and 461lb ft of torque, it will certainly go rather wheel – and sound good, too. Further 007 customisation unique to this car is ‘60
