The Contessa Teresa 'Tracy' di Vicenzo 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 ConvertibleRegistration no. HKX 367GChassis no. 9F94R549292•One of three ordered specially for the film•Used in filming the barn scene•List of previous owners available•Present ownership since 1990•Full restoration completed in 2020Footnotes:The Mercury Cougar Convertible we offer belongs to that select band of movie cars that have featured in the James Bond series, the first and most famous of which is the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. This Mercury is one of a tiny handful (some sources say three, others four) purchased by Eon Productions for use in the filming of On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) starring Australian actor George Lazenby in his sole outing as 007. Co-starring with Lazenby were Telly Savalas as super-villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld and Diana Rigg as the Contessa Teresa 'Tracy' Di Vicenzo, owner of the Mercury. Eon Productions ordered this car on the 30th January 1969. It was scheduled to be built on the 12th February but was actually completed six days earlier on 6th February 1969. The car was flown from the USA to the UK and registered on 13th February 1969. Copies of the original Ford Motor Company paperwork and invoice are on file, listing this individual car's specification and confirming its 'Bond Movie' connection. According to the accompanying Marti Auto Works Elite Report, only three cars were finished in Candy Apple Red with a black roof, indicating that only three were supplied for the film. The Marti Report lists the following original features: 428-4V Cobra Jet Ram Air V-8 EngineC-6 Select Shift Automatic TransmissionRed Paint, Ford #2008-A Dark Red Leather Bucket Seats 3.50 Conventional Rear Axle Color Keyed Floor Mats Black Power Top w/Glass Backlite F70X 14 Belted Raised White Letters Tires Ram Air Induction Console Power Front Disc Brakes Tilt-Away Steering Wheel Power Steering Hood Pins AM Radio Styled Steel Wheels Front Bumper GuardsThe Cougar is believed to have been flown to the UK as a special order and used for the barn scene filmed at Pinewood Studios, which if nothing else spared it from any damage (see below). Most of the film's action takes place in the Swiss Alps and the Mercuries were fitted with a chrome ski rack for Tracy's Kneissl skis, which were the 'must have' brand of the day. The car's red French numberplates are temporary visitor plates. The Cougars were used in four scenes: the opening scene on the beach; the bullfight; the ice race and chase; and the barn scene. OHMSS was released initially in Japan on 13th December 1969 and subsequently released as a Royal Premier at The Odeon, Leicester Square on 18th December 1969. The Ian Fleming Foundation (IFF) which looks after 40 screen-used James Bond vehicles, believes that perhaps four Cougars were used in making OHMSS: one was very badly damaged during the ice race sequence and subsequently scrapped; another resides in Spain; one has been owned by the IFF since 2008; and the remaining example is the car offered here. Subsequent owners are not known until 1976 when the car was registered to one Brian De Mesquita. Since then the Cougar has had seven other owners including the current vendor, who acquired it on 10th June 1990 (full list of owners on file). The Mercury had been advertised in Exchange & Mart in May 1990, with no mention of any James Bond connections (advertisement on file). Only competed in 2020, the car's full 'last-nut-and-bolt' restoration included stripping and repainting the chassis and all body panels; fully rebuilding the engine with new pistons, Crane camshaft, HV oil pump, etc; fully restoring the Holley carburettor; fitting the correct Ram Air induction, air filter, snorkel and heat shield; overhauling the alternator and starter motor; rebuilding the automatic transmission; and rebuilding the rear axle with Traction-Lock limited-slip differential by Hauser Racing. The body panels were acid dipped prior to priming and painting in the correct Candy Apple Red, while the convertible top and interior trim were done by specialists Piper Trimmers in Sparkford.The list of new parts fitted is far too lengthy to reproduce here but may be found in the history file (perusal highly recommended). Only 20 miles have been covered since the restoration's completion and this historic 'James Bond' Mercury Cougar is presented in commensurately excellent condition, worthy of the closest inspection.

* Vietnam. Spies in Vung Tau 1915-1920, a collection of approximately 155 glass plate negatives, showing scenes in Vung Tau, Vietnam, plus Java, Jakarta, Sarawak and the Cocos Islands, many with brown paper wrapping with three-word pencil captions, 8 x 10.5 cmQty: (approximately 155)NOTESThis collection of glass plate negatives was used by Bernard Green for his book Spies in Vung Tau 1915-1920. Sailing the G.L. Watson 1897 Rainbow. Photos of South Vietnam (Bernard A. N. Green, 2018). The negatives were acquired by Green in 1987 as a 'mystery' lot in auction and only investigated in 2017 with the aid of modern scanning technology. What Green found was a collection of photographs relating to a military mission by 5 men connected to Australia and Great Britain during a period covering the First World War. The group acquired one of the fastest yachts available, the G.L. Watson Rainbow in order to inspect and repair the undersea telegraph and radio systems that were so important to shipping safety and military information and logistics. This secretive journey took them throughout South-East Asia and Vietnam with visits to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. They spent considerable time in Vietnam taking photographs which help indicate why the French Military were building huge gun emplacements at the Cape St. Jacques (now called Vung Tau). The G.L. Watson Rainbow was later purchased by Kaiser Wilhelm II who renamed it Hamburg; its fate after that is unknown. The photographs include members of the group and their yacht (and a smaller one, The Dukongs), base camp activities and numerous photographs of mountains and landscapes of the places visited. There are also photographs of local peoples encountered as well as some of temples and houses. The identity of the photographer is unknown (he is noted simply as 'Self' in the brief captions), but his companions are identified on some of the paper wrappings of the negatives as Franklyn, Stewart, Pig, Ginger, and White, three of whom are believed by Green to be Australians. A copy of the book is included with the lot. A full short-title listing is available and all images are viewable (as positives) at the auctioneer’s online catalogue.
