What is Your Most Wanted Bond Related Item?

What is the one Bond related item you desire most assuming price and availability are no object? (Bond girls and the other actors do not count. That's a separate topic. :)) ) Will it be a screen used prop, the Goldfinger Aston Martin, a piece of clothing/costume? Or do you already own it? If so, please share.

For me, it would be Ian Fleming's gold-plated Royal Quiet Deluxe Portable typewriter on which he wrote the Bond novels. It was last seen in May 1995 when an anonymous buyer purchased it at auction for £56,250 (US$89,229).

    Tracy's Cougar w tartan blanket, for Amanda so we could chase each other. I ideally, we would love to recreate our OHMSS wedding in Portugal, including having the Aston transported by air to Europe, stay at the Palacio, all the wedding clothes for us and our guests, a film crew to capture it all for posterity, post production editing, etc, and a movie theatre to show the finished film to our friends, guests, and AJB colleagues. Not to mention the Portuguese extras dancing about the car, the estate, the flowers, the food....good thing price is no object in this fantasy.

    IMHO: Dont wish for a GF DB5....they are so lovely to look at, but awful to own....unless you can have a mechanic to look after her.

    May all your wishes come true, and may your allergies be swiftly cured...

    For me, it would have to be the original Ken Adam sketches of any/all of his sets or the vehicles.

    It was never Brosnan that picked it up, it was one of the owner of Paddy Power, and as of 2 years ago he still had it -{

    The production used OHMSS wedding ring for me - though a series of Director's cut Blu-Rays with all deleted scenes would be awesome as well {[]

    The winterized Turbo Esprit is also very high on my list!

    I could make a laundry list of unrealistic wants… a DB5 etc… but in the real world.. I'd just be glad to have a pair of Converse Jack Purcell OTRs… (or a short barrel HK416 :) )

    I'd heard the debunked Brosnan rumor before. I never put any faith in it. Where did you hear about an owner of Paddy Power owning the typewriter?

    Thanks for the correction Danjaq_off - seems I heard the wrong Paddy was the owner!

    For me it has to be 'Little Nellie' the gyrocopter, have always loved it from the first time I saw it on the big screen, even to be able to just sit in it would great.

    Tried that tack Markus, they are a discontinued item, they don't even have one at the real Slumber Inc (Palm Mortuary) and they're not the sort of thing that comes up on the second hand market that often for obvious reasons.

    Yes, but even small urns are hundreds of dollars on eBay last time I looked. It's "killing" me. :p

    It would have to be the White Lotus Esprit from the spy who loved me, I had even considered travelling to the auction when lotus sold all of there stuff off including the 2 Bond Lotus Esprit but thought back then £30k was to much to spend on a Lotus Esprit S1.

    More the fool me :(
