Special edition Land Rover Defender used to fight James Bond in Spectre to sell for £150,000
The SVX Concept was tuned up for the 007 movie and is one of the few to survive filming
JAMES BOND owns a pretty impressive garage so it's easy to forget the flashy motors his enemies drive.
Down the years the movie villains have got behind the wheel of some of the most exotic models going to take on 007 in death-defying car chases.
And it's the SVX Concept - an off-road monster used during a particularly high-octane chase across the Austrian Alps in 2015's Spectre - that's under the spotlight here.
Known as the Spectre Defender it's expected to sell for £150,000 when it goes under the hammer.
The iconic Land Rover Defender was given an overhaul for its silver screen performance - and you can now get your hands on the rare movie veteran.
Producers ordered 10 of the British-built go-anywhere 4x4s from Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations department.
The Defenders were then handed over to Bowler - the famous Land Rover tuning company - to be given a Hollywood makeover.
The experts at Bowler ramped the power, added new suspension and fitted huge 37-inch tyres.
Described as 'the ultimate Land Rover', the Spectre Defender is a double cab and has a snorkel which allows it to wade into deep water while reducing dust induction.
As with any movie filming, not all the cars survived and a number of the Spectre Defenders were badly damaged in the Austrian Alps.

Fortunately for Bond fans, though, this 2014 car emerged unscathed and is up for sale. It has just 145 miles on the clock, too.
It was bought directly from Bowler and is expected to sell for between £100,000 and £150,000 when RM Sotheby's auction it off in London on September 6.
