James Bond fans had a chance to claim a piece of cinema history in a charity auction to mark 60 years of Bond films. Among the Bond lots up for grabs was a Defender 110 stunt car that appeared in No Time To Die, and a Defender V8 Bond Edition inspired by the Defenders used in the film. 

The specially modified Defender 110 demonstrated the incredible durability and capability of this all-terrain vehicle under the most punishing conditions, as the film’s stunt drivers pushed the vehicle to its limits. It sold for £189,000, which will be used by the British Red Cross to support their crucial humanitarian efforts. The vehicle also features a unique VIN (vehicle identification number) 007, enhancing its appeal as a Bond collector item.

With only 300 Defender 110 V8 Bond Editions available worldwide, and a ‘60 Years of Bond’ logo etched on the instrument panel end cap, the unique nature of this vehicle pushed the final sale price up to £163,800. The funds from the sale of the Bond Edition, created by SV, will assist the charity, Tusk, to make a positive impact on conservation initiatives across Africa. Tusk undertakes vital work to protect endangered species, safeguard biodiversity and empower local communities.
