Daniel Craig is donating his personal limited edition 007 Triumph models to raise money for the RNLI. Inspired by the bikes seen in the 25th James Bond film No Time To Die, the Bond Editions will be auctioned off with the chance to ride with Bond stunt co-ordinator Lee Morrison and 007 Bond stunt double Paul Edmondson.
Actor Daniel Craig CMG and Triumph Motorcycles have joined forces to offer fans an exclusive chance to own two pieces of motorcycling and film history in support of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), the charity that saves lives at sea.
Inspired by the Triumph Scrambler 1200 and Tiger 900 that featured in the 25th James Bond film, No Time To Die, these editions, which sold out on launch day, will be auctioned by Bonhams|Cars Motorcycles at the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show in Staffordshire on 12-13 October 2024.
Not only will the successful bidders receive the #003/250 Scrambler 1200 Bond Edition and the #001/250 Tiger 900 Bond Edition, both bikes will be hand signed on both sides by Daniel Craig.
They are sold with the original V5C papers with Daniel Craig’s name on them, as well as a certificate of authenticity signed by both Daniel Craig and Triumph Motorcycles CEO Nick Bloor.
Each ticket also includes a riding experience at the Triumph Adventure Experience in Wales, UK, with James Bond stunt coordinator Lee Morrison and stunt double Paul Edmondson.
“The RNLI has been close to my heart all my life, ever since I grew up near the RNLI station in Hoylake. I have incredible memories of sailing with the RNLI crew at Ramsgate to experience first-hand what it’s like to be part of the organisation that has saved over 146,000 lives since it was founded over 200 years ago. I am honoured and immensely proud to support the RNLI and hope that the auction of Triumph’s Limited Edition Bond motorcycles proves popular. The experience of riding with Lee Morrison and Paul Edmondson adds another unique and exciting dynamic to the lots. I worked with Lee on Casino Royale, right through to No Time To Die; this is an opportunity not to be missed and will help raise funds for the truly life-saving cause that is the RNLI.”
“Triumph is delighted to support the RNLI’s 200th anniversary with this auction of two unique Bond motorcycles starring Daniel Craig. We wish all bidders the best of luck in the auction of Daniel Craig’s Scrambler 1200 and Tiger 900 Bond Limited Editions, both unique motorcycles in Triumph’s history, and I hope the winners enjoy the unique experience of riding with the incredible stunt riders Lee Morrison and Paul Edmondson. This really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
“We are honoured to be the auction house of choice and to be working with three exceptional British institutions; the RNLI, Triumph Motorcycles and Daniel Craig on this exciting and important project, particularly on the 200th anniversary of the RNLI. Triumph and Daniel Craig’s donation of two such evocative and exciting motorcycles for this worthy cause is truly inspiring.”
The two 007 Bond Editions will be auctioned at the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show on October 12 and 13 in Staffordshire.
