  • JAMES BOND’S ASTON MARTIN AT CHRISTIE’S

    Aston Martin anyone?

    Aston Martin anyone?  UPDATE: IT SOLD FOR £2,434,500

    To mark the 24th James Bond film there is to be a charity online auction with 24 lots at Christie’s.  Christie’s, EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will offer memorabilia from Spectre to celebrate its release on Digital HD, Blu-rayTM and DVD. A live auction and an online-only sale will together present 24 lots of Spectre memorabilia direct from the archives of EON Productions, with unique donations from Daniel Craig, Sam Mendes, Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli, Jesper Christensen and Sam Smith.

    The online-only sale will offer 14 lots and open for bidding from February 16 to to February 23 at christies.com/spectreonline. The invitation-only live auction will be held on February 18 in London with ten lots accessible by internet and telephone bids. The live auction will be highlighted by the Aston Martin DB10, one of a series designed for the James Bond films.  Most were modified for filming, but two were kept back for show purposes. This is one of them and it is estimated at £1-1.5 million. All proceeds from the auctions will benefit Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), other charitable organisations and the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS).
