Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE stunt bike

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE stunt bike is first ridden by Safin’s assassin Primo (Dali Benssalah) and has a major role in the Matera pre-credit sequences. In No Time To Die, Bond (Daniel Craig) manages to commandeer the bike for a chase through the streets, culminating in an epic jump into the piazza.

The Scrambler 1200 XE was specially modified to handle the rigours of the Italian action sequence. Lee Morrison, the film’s Stunt Coordinator, worked with the Triumph team to create a stunt motorcycle that would not only perform at a high level, but would look good while doing it.

Estimate GBP 20,000 – GBP 30,000

-

Jaguar XF Stunt Car

Appearing in No Time To Die’s pre-credit sequence, the Jaguar XFs are seen on the streets of Matera, southern Italy, in pursuit of James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux). Driven by SPECTRE henchmen, the two XF saloons are seen weaving through the narrow, twisting streets of the ancient city. They drive across piazzas and down cobbled steps giving chase to 007.

Jaguar provided six XFs for the production of No Time To Die and this vehicle (VIN 618 – 2020 Model Year) is one of the six supplied. It features Jaguar’s all-wheel drive system with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics, which delivered incredible levels of traction on the low-grip surface of Matera’s street with SPECTRE's henchmen demonstrating that no street is too small and no corner too tight. The saloon’s lightweight aluminium-intensive architecture and advanced suspension design enable exceptional handling and agility together with outstanding ride, comfort and refinement.

Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations team worked together with the No Time To Die stunt and action vehicle teams to modify and adapt the vehicles to ensure they could perform the dynamic stunts required.

Estimate GBP 50,000 – GBP 70,000

Pre-Production Land Rover Defender 110 No Time to Die Stunt Car, VIN 007

Land Rovers have featured in James Bond films for nearly 40 years, from Octopussy in 1983 to the new Defender in No Time To Die. For No Time To Die, Land Rover tore up the rulebook by allowing the pre-production new Defender on set months before its global launch.

Land Rover provided ten pre-production Defenders for filming and these were the very first pre-production Defenders to be built at Land Rover’s manufacturing plant in Nitra, Slovakia.

This particular vehicle is VIN 007 and is one of the 10 used for filming No Time To Die. It was also used in promotional activity in the run up to the film’s release.

Estimate GBP 300,000 – GBP 500,000

-

Range Rover Sport SVR Stunt Car

In No Time To Die, a pair of Range Rover Sport SVRs take part in an epic all-terrain chase sequence. After being alerted by MI6 that Logan Ash (Billy Magnussen) had been tracked to Norway and approaching his location, Bond (Daniel Craig) leaves Madeleine Swann’s (Léa Seydoux) childhood home with Madeleine and their daughter Mathilde (Lisa-Dorrah Sonnet). As they drive along the iconic Atlantic Road, the two Range Rover Sport SVRs pass the trio driving in the opposite direction. Bond’s relief is short-lived as they quickly appear in his rear-view mirror and the pursuit begins in earnest.

Land Rover provided six Range Rover Sport SVRs, in Eiger Grey with Carbon Pack and Narvik Black 22-inch alloy wheels with all terrain tyres, to support the filming of No Time To Die.

This vehicle (VIN 676 – 2018 Model Year) is one of the six supplied. The SVRs used in the film feature the same specially tuned suspension as production models devised by engineers at Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations to deliver more responsive handling and tighter body control without compromising comfort – all critical features for the No Time To Die stunt team when putting these supercharged cars through their paces.

Estimate GBP 80,000 – GBP 120,000

Q Jet Boat - The World Is Not Enough

Bond (Pierce Brosnan) launches the Q Jet Boat from the MI6 offices via a torpedo chute and chases after a villain in a Sunseeker speedboat, dipping underwater at one point before taking off outside the Millennium Dome and launching 007 onto a rope dangling from a hot air balloon. Boat builder Doug Riddle constructed a racing machine with a V8 engine offering 300bhp. Riddle Marine constructed a total of fifteen boats for the sequence.

This original boat was used in the majority of the chase sequence.

This boat is an SFX version rigged with opening weapon hatch at the front.

Estimate GBP 20,000 – GBP 30,000

Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition

One of the most coveted items in this auction is probably this titanium Omega Seamaster worn by Daniel Craig as James Bond in No Time To Die.

The model is also available in stores for about GBP 8,000 ($10,000), so the estimate of GBP 15,000 - 20,000 is probably on the low end.
