Motoring fans will have a choice between James Bond or Johnny English when two spy-related cars go under the hammer.

Rowan Atkinson played the hapless secret service agent in three hilarious films, and now the actor's Land Rover is estimated to fetch up to £80,000.

Atkinson's 2015 Land Rover Defender 110 Heritage Edition was for personal use and is offered directly from the comedy icon.

Nick Whale, chairman of Iconic Auctioneers, says: "Rowan Atkinson is a well-known petrol head and Land Rover enthusiast, so this vehicle has been cherished and lightly used as part of his personal Collection.

"Always correctly serviced, maintained and professionally stored, it has now covered just 3,800 miles from new."

007 lovers can bid on a rare Land Rover, produced exclusively for James Bond fans.

One of just ten UK-supplied Defender 110 V8s, the model was limited to 300 vehicles worldwide and is estimated to sell for up to £175,000.

Celebrating the relationship between Land Rover and the James Bond film franchise, the special edition 007 model was created to mark the release of 2021's No Time To Die starring Daniel Craig.

It is offered directly from the first owner, with the unique registration number NO07 TTD included in the sale and just 700 miles from new.

"A true collectors example," add Iconic Auctioneers.

The vehicle will be auctioned at the Iconic Auctioneers Race Retro Sale on 24 February at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire.
