James Bond’s next assignment (
SPECTRE) is to thrill auction go-ers as Julien’s auctions props, vehicles, set pieces and gadgets. Bond has some interesting ways of getting from point A to point B.
In
Die Another Day (2002), Pierce Brosnan fought villainous thugs while driving an Osprey 5 hovercraft. Of the seventeen crafts built for the film, only a few survived destruction and one is offered for sale here.
Octopussy (1983) (1983) saw Roger Moore’s Bond flying the world’s lightest single engine jet. This BD-5J, built by stunt pilot
J.W. “Corkey” Fornof, is offered to the high flying winning bidder.
Never one to simply drive a car, in
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) Bond used a mobile phone/ remote control for his escape from the bad guys. This prop, along with other props, posters and signed items are among the items in this 007 collection.
