Landing at Christie's 'Film and Entertainment' Sale on December 14th 2004 is the unique James Bond Moon Buggy from Sean Connery's last 'official' appearance as Secret Agent 007 in the 1971 movie Diamonds Are Forever. LONDON, November 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Landing at Christie's 'Film and Entertainment' Sale on December 14th 2004
is the unique James Bond Moon Buggy from Sean Connery's last 'official'
appearance as Secret Agent 007 in the 1971 movie Diamonds Are Forever.
Currently owned by Graham Rye, editor and publisher of 'OO7' Magazine,
the auction of this one-of-a-kind vehicle is sure to create great interest
among Bond collectors worldwide. In 1998, Rye entered the villainous Oddjob's
steel-rimmed bowler hat into Christie's first 'James Bond 007' Sale, which
scooped a record-breaking GBP62,000. Is he hoping to break another record?
"It's anyone's guess how much the Moon Buggy may raise in auction, says Rye.
"Like diamonds, Bond is forever, and whoever purchases this fantastic item
will certainly have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own the last remaining
vehicle from the Sean Connery classic era of James Bond movies. It would
certainly make someone the best Christmas present ever!"
