A Defender Stunt Car Used in the Film's Action Scenes
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the James Bond films. Two Defenders, including the famous "Defender 110" used in stunt scenes in 'No Time to Die,' along with a Range Rover Sport SVR and a Jaguar XF, will be offered at auction, with proceeds benefiting various social causes.
The "Defender 110" to be auctioned is one of the Defenders used during filming. It bears the special Vehicle Identification Number "VIN 007," signifying it as one of ten such vehicles, and is expected to fetch between £300,000 and £500,000 (approximately ¥49 million to ¥81.6 million). Proceeds will be donated to the British Red Cross.

Also up for auction is a "Defender 110 V8 Bond Edition," reminiscent of the Defender featured in the film, produced by SV Bespoke. While the "Bond Edition" was a limited global release of 300 units, this particular vehicle features a special "60 Years of Bond" logo on the instrument panel's end cap and is a road-legal UK specification model.
This vehicle is also expected to sell for between £200,000 and £300,000 (approximately ¥33 million to ¥49 million), with proceeds going to the wildlife conservation charity Tusk.
