Ah, mate, this has been discussed on one of the poster forums.
I even spoke to the guy trying to sell it via email and asked if I could get a friend who lives near him to inspect it, but he ignored that question four times without reply.
He originally had it listed at £15,000 two weeks ago.
I still don't think it's worth £5,000 ...
... One of the guys on the poster forum said it could be part of the Marler Haley set, but it is also a possibility it could be part of the bus panel set.
Best wishes,

I could see that and also it's in the eye of the beholder. If it was a Pierce Brosnan poster from The Living Daylights days or a never-released Lazenby poster...
Then again, I've been privileged to see and photograph "one leg" FYEO posters, unreleased LTK posters, unfinished Octopussy artwork, etc. and when it's a takeoff of an iconic image...
I just think that of this was put into a Christies auction I couldn't see it making more than £1,000 and that's being generous.
I wonder what ppw thinks?

I think its part of a three poster set, value is subjective and if you have to have it pay anything but if you have to sell it I would guess 400 - 500 is top whack as it may be rare but who cares its also pretty ugly and 20 minutes on Adobe caould get you a pretty good version to display!
I agree, Voituer, regarding the Adobe work )
And I agree with your price estimate.
I also don't think it is a fake, which has been intimated (not here).

Woops! Fixed that goof....that's what I get for trying to do too many things at once!
