Stunt Vehicle for James Bond Film "No Time to Die" to be Auctioned
Jaguar and Land Rover stunt cars from the James Bond film "No Time To Die" will be auctioned at Christie's in London on September 28.
The lot includes a Land Rover Defender 110 used in an off-road chase scene. One of 10 Defenders used in the film and bearing the key 007 ending, VIN, it is expected to sell for 300,000-500,000 British pounds (approximately $365,353-608,922), with proceeds from the sale going to the British Red Cross.
A second Defender 110 will also be auctioned, but it does not appear to be a stunt car. It is being offered as a V8 Bond Edition, a limited edition model inspired by the "No Time To Die" Defender. Only 300 were built worldwide, and this one is expected to sell for between $243,569 and $365,353 worth. The proceeds from the sale will be donated to Conversation Charity's task.
In addition to the Defender, one of the six Range Rover Sport SVR stunt cars used in the filming of "No Time To Die" will also be offered, with pre-auction estimates ranging from $97,427 to $146,141. This is the current Range Rover Sport, not the recently announced third-generation model. However, since it is an SVR, it is powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 engine that produces 575 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque.
Finally, a Jaguar XF stunt car is expected to fetch between $60,895 and $85,253 at auction. This is one of two sedans used in the pre-credit scene, driven by 007 and the bad guys who hunt down the Aston Martin DB5.
Speaking of the DB5, the stunt car built for No Time To Die is not included in this auction, nor is the 1974 Aston Martin Vantage V8, the DBS Superleggera, or the Valhalla supercar that appeared briefly in the film Not included. Stay tuned for the next issue.
