Some James Bond highlights of the Prop Store auction:

JAMES BOND: SKYFALL (2012)
James Bond's (Daniel Craig) Tom Ford Suit

James Bond’s (Daniel Craig) Tom Ford suit from Skyfall. Bond wore his suit in the opening action sequence, as he chased the mercenary Patrice (Ola Rapace) through Istanbul, first on a motorbike across roofs and then along a moving train. Skyfall was nominated for five Academy Awards, the most ever for a Bond film. This suit was originally sold by Christie’s in their “Sixty Years of James Bond: Part II - Online Auction” in 2022, having been consigned directly by EON Productions Ltd.

Fashion designer and film director Tom Ford designed Bond's suits for the four most recent films in the series, starting with Quantum of Solace (2008), and all of Bond's clothing was custom-made for Skyfall.

The grey two-piece rayon-and-silk suit features an embroidered tag in the inside right pocket reading “Daniel Craig Bond 23”. It is accompanied by a white Tom Ford shirt with French cuffs; a Tom Ford silver-grey tie; and a pair of Tom Ford cufflinks.

The jacket is labelled size “48F” and the trousers “32”. The suit jacket exhibits some wear and plucking on the front right.
£20,000-40,000
 

JAMES BOND: YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967)
Little Nellie Cockpit Nacelle

The Little Nellie cockpit nacelle from Lewis Gilbert’s Bond film You Only Live Twice. Bond (Sean Connery) flew the autogyro dubbed "Little Nellie" to locate Blofeld's (Donald Pleasence) hidden volcano base.
During the flight scenes, the autogyro was piloted by Wing Commander Ken Wallis. He swapped seats with Sean Connery straight after the earlier take off sequence featuring Q (Desmond Llewelyn). Production designer Ken Adams had heard Wallis being interviewed about autogyros on the radio one morning, and thought an autogyro would be a great fit for a Bond film.

The autogyro which became Little Nellie was already in existence before the production, but it was fitted with weaponry by Adams, Wallis and special effects artist John Stears. Only one autogyro was used for all of the outdoor filming and this is the actual cockpit nacelle from that vehicle. After the production Wallis flew the autogyro for numerous TV shows, public appearances, promotional work and air shows until 1986, when the vehicle crashed during an airshow in Northern Ireland (video footage of the incident is available online). The nacelle was damaged and was subsequently switched over for safety reasons. It is decorated with stickers from events Wallis attended, and he has autographed the nacelle on the left side, with the inscription “This is the original ‘Little Nellie’ cockpit, as flown by me. Ken Wallis 007!”

This is the original filming nacelle damaged on that day. Pieces of Little Nellie are not known to ever go into auction, making this an incredibly rare opportunity to own part of Bond’s most distinctive vehicle.

The nacelle is made primarily of fibreglass and damage from the crash is evident all over, including holes and cracks. A support structure has been added to the nacelle since the production to help keep its shape. It is displayed on a custom-made stand and is also accompanied by a copy of the certificate of transfer between Wallis and the consignor. Dimensions: 154 cm x 56 cm x 63 cm (60.75” x 22” x 24.75”)  
Special shipping required; see special shipping notice in the Buyer's Guide.
£75,000-150,000
 

JAMES BOND: YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967)
Little Nellie Heat-seeking Missile

A Little Nellie heat-seeking missile from Lewis Gilbert’s Bond film You Only Live Twice. James Bond (Sean Connery) flew the autogyro "Little Nellie" to locate Blofeld's (Donald Pleasence) hidden volcano base. When he found himself in an aerial battle against Blofeld’s henchmen, he used Nellie’s heat-seeking missiles to take down an enemy helicopter. This lot originated from the collection of Little Nellie’s stunt pilot, Wing Commander Ken Wallis.

The missile was created for the production’s battle sequences, which were filmed in Sierra Nevada, Spain (doubling for Japan). The flight sequences were filmed in Japan, however, for the actual battles and firing of missiles, Spain had to be used. The rocket motor and other pyrotechnics have been removed, and the missile has been made safe. Dimensions: 119.5 cm x 19 cm x 19 cm (47” x 7.5” x 7.5”)
£10,000-20,000

JAMES BOND: DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (1971)
Hand-painted Robert McGinnis Poster Art

Poster campaign artwork hand-painted by renowned artist Robert McGinnis for the promotion of Guy Hamilton’s Bond film Diamonds are Forever. McGinnis' classic art featured in many promotional materials for the film, and he worked on several other Bond projects, including Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, The Man with the Golden Gun and Live and Let Die, also producing artwork for other classic films, such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Barbarella.

This hand-painted piece features Bond (Sean Connery) standing, weapon drawn, between two women. When McGinnis first painted the image, Bond was the same height as the two women. When he sent it to the film’s marketing department, they insisted Bond should be taller than the women, as he is the main character. With no time to start again, McGinnis carefully cut Bond out and moved him up, with the cuts still evident on the painting.

The artwork is rendered in oil and gouache, and mounted on acid-free card. It has some minor damage at the centre and bottom, possibly from water. Dimensions: 80 cm x 60 cm (31.5” x 23.5”) 
Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.
£150,000-300,000

JAMES BOND: THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH (1999)
James Bond's (Pierce Brosnan) Full-size Q-Boat

A full-size Q-Boat driven by James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) in the opening scenes of Michael Apted’s spy film The World is Not Enough. This jet boat was used in the high-speed chase along London’s River Thames, regarded as one of the best chase sequences in the series. Designed by Q division, the highly manoeuvrable, computer-controlled boat was a sophisticated, powerful and well-armoured vessel, which featured GPS navigation and a full array of torpedoes and machine guns.

Initially conceived by production designer Peter Lamont, 15 Q Boat shells were constructed for filming by Riddle Marine of Idaho, USA. The shells were shipped to the UK and detailed in the workshops of Pinewood Studios. This and three of the other boats were functioning and operational, powered by enormous 5.7L V8 engines. The rest were designed for specific purposes, including the barrel roll, underwater filming, and SFX cannon shots. Only nine of the boats remain today, and can usually only be found in museums and touring exhibitions.

This particular Q Boat was specifically constructed for use in the pre-title sequence. The original filming canopy was removed after filming, but everything that remains is true to the production, including the driver’s green racing seat, steering wheel, basic instrumentation, and watertight Chevy engine. The current owner has made several repairs and restorations, including (but not limited to) a new fuel filter, a new high-pressure fuel pump, a new battery and new spark plugs. A complete list of repairs and replacements can be found in the online description. Dimensions: 5 m x 1.6 m x 1.6 m (16’ 4” x 5’ 2” x 5’ 2”)
