James Bond's most iconic ride was stolen 25 years ago. Now it's back.
The group, which specializes in locating lost or stolen luxury items, reportedly found Bond’s stolen silver ride in a “private setting” in the Middle East but did not give an exact location. An anonymous authenticator confirmed the vehicle was the original, chassis No. DP216/1, and not one of the two replicas built for publicity or the action example used for long shots in the beloved film franchise.
To recap, the classic four-wheeler, which was fitted with an array of spectacular gadgets, was returned to. It was then stripped of all the spy features and sold to collector Gavin Keyzar. After Keyzar returned the regular old DB5 back to the gizmo-packed Bond configuration, he sold the car to Utah jeweler Richard Losee, who shipped it stateside and held onto it for 15 years. The sporty coupe was then snapped up by Florida real estate developer and car collector Anthony V. Pugliese III at a Sotheby’s New York auction in 1986 for $250,000. For the next decade, the cinematic icon appeared at various car shows and Bond events.
The trunk-mounted bullet shield and rotating license plate were all replicated and returned to the car by former owner Gavin Keyzar. Art Recovery International is giving the current possessor an opportunity to come forward voluntarily first before they take further action. “It’s my policy to give possessors of stolen and looted objects every opportunity to do the right thing,” Marinello told theIf that fails, we’re sure a certain secret agent would be willing to recover the car, which is now estimated to be worth around $25 million .
