One of the three screen-used Mercury Cougar Convertible XR-7 cars from On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) starring George Lazenby as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 is offered in Bonhams Bond Street sale on 16th December 2020. The car is valued to 100,000 - 150,000 GBP.
This car was used for the UK based filming sequences of the movie and has been with its current owner for over 30 years and has just completed a complete restoration - its condition is superb.
