Daniel Craig Auctions Signed Triumphs for RNLI
Two unique Bond Edition Triumph motorcycles, both hand signed and owned by Hollywood actor Daniel Craig, are to be sold by auction to support the RNLI who are celebrating their 200th anniversary in 2024. Inspired by the bikes that featured in the 25th James Bond film, No Time To Die the number #003/250 Scrambler 1200 Bond Edition and the number #001/250 Tiger 900 Bond Edition will be auctioned with the opportunity to ride with Bond stunt co-ordinator Lee Morrison and 007 Bond stunt double Paul Edmondson.
RNLI
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is the charity that saves lives at sea. Volunteer lifeboat crews provide a 24-hour rescue service in the UK and Ireland and their seasonal lifeguards patrol busy beaches. RNLI crews and lifeguards have saved over 146,000 lives since 1824.
THE AUCTION
The auction of these two incredible motorcycles with unique provenance will be sold by auction through Bonhams|Cars Motorcycles at the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show on 12th and 13th October 2024 in Staffordshire (UK).
Not only will the successful bidders secure the #003/250 Scrambler 1200 Bond Edition, and the #001/250 Tiger 900 Bond Edition (being offered in separate lots), both motorcycles will be hand signed by Daniel Craig on each side. They will be sold with the original V5C documents bearing Daniel Craig’s name, as well as a certificate of authenticity signed by both Daniel Craig and Triumph Motorcycles’ CEO, Nick Bloor.
Each lot also includes a riding experience at the Triumph Adventure Experience in Wales, UK with James Bond stunt co-ordinator Lee Morrison and stunt double Paul Edmondson.
Daniel Craig said: “The RNLI has been close to my heart all my life since growing up near the RNLI station at Hoylake. I have incredible memories of going afloat with the RNLI crew at Ramsgate to experience firsthand what it’s like to be part of the organisation that has saved over 146,000 lives since starting up over 200 years ago. I am honoured and immensely proud to support the RNLI and hope the auction of Triumph’s Limited Edition Bond motorcycles proves popular. The riding experience with Lee Morrison and Paul Edmondson adds another unique and exciting dynamic to the lots. I worked with Lee on Casino Royale, all the way through to No Time To Die; the opportunity is not to be missed and will help raise funds for the truly lifesaving cause that is the RNLI.”
The auction through Bonhams|Cars Motorcycles at the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show on 12th and 13th October 2024 in Staffordshire will also have the capability to take online or telephone bids, making this a truly global event.
