Goldfinger Helicopter

More James Bond At RM

October 20, 2010

Few who saw “Goldfinger” could forget pilot Pussy Galore and her helicopter, a 1960 Hiller UH-12 E4. The chopper, now restored,  has joined RM’s lineup for its Automobiles of London sale on October 27. It’s expected to sell for up to $650,000.

The helicopter joins the sale’s highlight, the Aston Martin DB5 driven by actor Sean Connery in “Goldfinger,” on which we reported earlier. And there’s yet another offering from the 007 films, a 1998 Jaguar XKR, complete with weaponry, which appeared in “Die Another Day.”

Of the numerous creative touches at the opening ceremonies of the London Olympics this past summer, probably the most popular was the Queen’s appearance as a skydiving partner to 007 actor Daniel Craig. Only a bit less attention-getting, however, was the entrance of  soccer star David Beckham, who piloted a speedboat carrying the Olympic flame on the last leg of its journey down the Thames. Now Bonhams has announced that it will auction the boat, a 2008 Bladerunner BR RIB 35, at its Brooklands sale on December 3rd. The cost to its new pilot is expected to be around $403,000.
