Back in June we told you that the iconic 1964 Aston Martin DB5 driven by Sean Connery as James Bond in Goldfinger was being out on the block at RM Auctions’ Automobiles of London sale on Oct. 27. Now a couple vehicles owned by famed Bond foils are joining the lineup, making the auction a truly historic occasion for 007 enthusiasts. Also on offer from Goldfinger is the 1960 Hiller UH -12 E4 helicopter which was piloted by Honor Blackman as the famous Bond girl Pussy Galore. Estimated at between £200,000 and £400,000, this historic aircraft has been completely restored to the highest standards and is in full flying condition.
The Hiller was built in California in 1960 by the Hiller Aircraft Company, bearing the registration number G-ASAZ, and in 1963 it featured in its first screen role; a film called The VIPs, which starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Also up for sale is the 1998 Jaguar XKR driven in the famous ice hotel chase scene by the villain Zao in 2002’s Die Another Day. The car, fitted out with some wicked “weapons systems”, is currently the property of the Jaguar Heritage Trust and has recently been on display in the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu and is estimated at between £25,000 and £35,000.
