    James Bond-chasing Land Rover Defender heading for auction

    The 2015 model year 110 was one of 10 Bowler-modified pickups used in the movie 'Spectre'

    The online sale has been organized by England-based Silverstone Auctions and there will be plenty of takers for the pickup which featured in a snowy-turned-fiery car chase in the film. Image Credit: Silverstone Auctions

    10 Defenders were used in the filming of the movie three of which were destroyed. There's no pre-auction estimate but we expect the winning bidder will need to sign a check with at least six digits on it. Any item related to James Bond (whether it's a gun, a tie, or a car) is sought-after and Defender values have sky-rocketed in recent years. Image Credit: Silverstone Auctions

    Nick Whale, Silverstone's managing director, reminded bidders that the Defender will need to be registered before it's driven on a public road in England or abroad. Image Credit: Silverstone Auctions

    Its 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel was tuned to increase output which went from 122 to 180 horsepower. The Defender has entered its second generation, but Land Rover has not renewed the 110 pickup body style. Image Credit: Silverstone Auctions
