Bond‑Bash Auction: 60 Years, 60 Lots, and a Whole Lot of Fun
London’s famous silver screen duo is getting a little facelift this September and October.
A charity auction – “Sixty Years of James Bond” – is rolling out a treasure trove of gadgets, costumes, and a Super‑Stunt Aston Martin that could well make your neighbour’s garage look like a mannequin shop.
What’s on the Lot?
- Aston Martin DB5 from No Time to Die
The roar‑filled, stunt‑ready car that blasted through the bone‑crunching caves of Matera.
Estimate: £1.5‑2 million (S$2.3‑3.3 million) – eight razor‑cut replicas made for the film, each as daring as a Double‑O‑7. - Signed “No Time to Die” Clapperboard
A tiny piece of history that says, “Yeah, we really did shoot this thing.”
Estimate: £5‑7 k - Costumes for Rami Malek and Lashana Lynch
Villainous Safin in his sleek black suit and Agent Nomi in a go‑pro‑ready jumpsuit.
Estimate: £5‑7 k each - Daniel Craig’s Tactical Gear
The last-ditch, everything‑to‑lose B. S. fashion that saw Bond bounding across the final cliffs.
Estimate: £15‑20 k - Other goodies – watch relics, props from earlier adventures, and a selection of cars that could be said to still have that subtle “kicks‑and‑critters” flair.
How It All Rolls Out
Part one is a live auction happening on Wednesday, September 28 – don’t forget to bring your whispers of “Let’s get this for the charity.”
Part two goes online, opening bids until James Bond Day on October 5 – the anniversary of Dr. No’s world premiere (back in 1962).
Why the Fringe Is Worth It
Our 60 lots will have a common purpose: healing hearts, all for charities.
Honoring 60 years of Bond means not only a toast to slick car chases, but also a promise to make a real impact on the world.
Who’s Next? Not Yet…
Producer Michael G. Wilson reminded fans that the tenth chapter is still in the drawer – they’re focusing on celebrating “No Time to Die” and the 60th anniversary first.
“By year’s end, we’ll pause. Next year, we’ll see which mind nicknames 007 next.”
So, dust off that velvet glove, make your bid, and let the oil‑slick nostalgia do its thing while the proceeds help folks in need. The next Bond, who knows? But right now it’s all about the last, best, and probably most memorable countdown.
