No Mr. Bond, I expect you to buy! Sir Roger Moore’s sons Geoffrey and Christian join producer Barbara Broccoli at auction as actor’s personal collection of 007 memorabilia goes under the hammer<\/h2>\n

The family of former James Bond star Sir Roger Moore gathered at Bonhams auction house on Monday evening as the late actor’s personal collection of memorabilia from the iconic franchise prepared to go under the hammer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moore, who passed away aged 89 in 2017, played womanising secret agent Bond seven times between 1973 and 1985 – a record that is yet to be beat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And he accrued an impressive collection of highly sought-after mementoes from his time on set, including the tuxedo he wore while scaling the Eiffel Tower – aged 58 – in A View To A Kill, his final outing as 007.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The collection of more than 180 possessions is now up for sale, and has been given an overall estimate of \u00a3420,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Attending the event on Monday evening, Moore’s actor sons Geoffrey and Christian were joined by an assortment of extended family members, as well as legendary Bond producer\u00a0Barbara Broccoli.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The auction also includes a collection of 20 Swatch wristwatches that come in a 007-themed brown suitcase, made to mark the 40th anniversary of Bond on film.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moore’s silk ties and cravats – which he wore to dozens of showbusiness events in his career – could sell for up to \u00a31,000.<\/p>\n

A pair of skis made by supercar firm Lamborghini could also fetch up to \u00a31,000.<\/p>\n

Moore was also a keen artist and a large portfolio of his drawings, sketches and studies is among the collection being sold by his family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They are expected to sell for up to \u00a38,000.<\/p>\n

Also on offer is a large collection of photographs of Sir Roger portraying Bond and a contacts book featuring the addresses and phone numbers of famous figures including Princess Margaret and Sir Paul McCartney.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The auction is being headed by Sir Roger’s son Geoffrey, to mark the 50th anniversary of his father’s first Bond film, 1973 hit Live and Let Die.<\/p>\n

A portion of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to charity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
