I’m sure a lot of us have dreamed of owning a vehicle that starred in a movie at least once in our lives. Personally, one of the reasons I chose a Triumph Street Triple RS was because it’s something of a movie star itself, having appeared in the likes of Salt, and more recently, Birds of Prey. Now, what if you could get your hands on the real, actual bike used in a movie—say, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE from James Bond No Time to Die?
Well, a lucky gentleman (or lady) has done just that, and paid an outstanding 138,600 British Pounds, or approximately $152,700 USD for the one-of-a-kind Triumph. It sounds absurd, really, but you could certainly say that this bike is a piece of history—both in the world of motorcycling and cinema. Now, it’s not exactly known who bought the bike, but it is known that the sale price far exceeded Christie’s Auction House’s estimated price by a whopping margin. Christie’s estimated that the bike would sell for around 20,000 to 30,000 pounds, but it turns out it sold for more than five times that price.
