GBP1 - 1.5m sounds low to me, but we'll see.

Nice! I hope we get to see the actual Snowdon's used in the film. Will help put to rest all the confusion!

DB6

Excellent! My wife has said I am welcome to bid on the DB10*..........









*if I have won the lottery

"...and to end tonight's news: it transpires that two of the three Powerball lottery winners last week were big James Bond fans. How big you ask? Well, at last night's Christies auction of items from the James Bond movie Spectre, the two winners went head-to-head over the Aston Martin DB10. The price when the hammer dropped? A cool $310 million. The beaten bidder said he'd have to settle for the sun glasses while the winner said he was looking for a good divorce lawyer. And in other news..."

bidding is the easy part - winning is not - you are up against big money here - I know

"Divorce lawyer" - more like a good attorney since his wife would certainly try to kill him at least a couple of times

Considering the DB10 cannot legally be driven on the road it is solely a piece of art. The car is not and will not be approved for Registration certainly in the UK

I'm sure that whoever will be crazy enough to actually drive on the streets can ask Gaydon to do some tweaks (like installing proper power windows, ignition system, make the bonnet openable etc.) Because I understand that the main reason why the car will never be approved as for now is the fixed bonnet which makes a simple oil change impossible? The car also probably lacks airbags so that's another thing...

Making it no different really than the AM Vulcan. People with the money to drop on a car like that are the same people who buy two 077, so they have one for the road and one for the track. You'd probably get more pleasure from driving it as a track car anyway.

Thanks for the update!

I love M's watch. And now there's no doubt on the colour of the sunglasses.

Miles Messervy

I really like both sets of cufflinks. I actually have something similar to the mother of pearls, although they appropriately have my initials!

Interesting to see the holster as well.

MrZareba

I'm so glad I stand correct about the Snowdon glasses! Awesome, at least I was right in one thing. The other thing is that we finally know who made the PPK holster (I think it wasn't clear until now?)

TeenageBond

I'm pretty sure i'll be able to make it to the auction on the 18th.
Do you know if you need a booking or something? ?:)

If i am able to get in, I'll get pictures (if they allow) and details on the final auctions.

I think someone had an invitation around here - I concluded that it's an invite only?

Happy to old bean. Would you be kind enough to supply me with your banking sort code and a personal letter of authority that you have the funds to cover said purchase....£2000,000.00 UK should cover it hopefully ....Donkey will settle for a £27.50 catalogue )

ppw3o6r

Just a taster of the 24 lots:






It should be noted that the DB10 has an Ejector Seat button under the flip top cap of the transmission lever...Joygasm!

Finally !! Great detailed pic of that holster !!!

Hart008

If that spectre Omega sells for high i strongly have a feeling the price of the 2nd hand market will increase intensely hehehe
That skull stick is awesome

sruzgar

Its going to be interesting to watch, consider that in the last Christies auction Bonds Omega PO from QoS was estimated at £6,000 - £8,000 and sold for £34,850 and the Skyfall cufflinks were estimate at £1,000 - £1,500 and sold for a whopping £30,000!

Glad to finally see the lens on the Snowdons confirmed as grey. Been bugging me since people thought it was a custom job (as didn't match the retail versions!)
