What vehicle from Daniel Craig and Rachel is for sale?
According to Robb Report, a 1959 Land Rover 109 Series II pickup once owned by the couple is live on Bring a Trailer. The truck dates to year two of the Series II generation and rides a 109-inch wheelbase.
It has been repainted in Bronze Greene and sits on 16-inch body-matching steel wheels wrapped in knobby off-road tires. Accessories include a rope winch, canvas bed cover, and side steps. Inside, reupholstered tan vinyl seats feature modern three-point seatbelts, with storage in the back.
Why does the Land Rover’s celebrity provenance matter?
Provenance is the headline. Beyond usual paperwork, the sale includes a note signed by Craig—who portrayed James Bond in the last five films of the franchise—and an autographed photo of him as the character.
“This is to say that this beautiful Land Rover Defender was ours,” Craig wrote. “We sell it with great sadness. Please take care of it.” For collectors who chase lifestyle trophies alongside luxury real estate and dream homes, that signed trail is the real premium.
What are the truck’s specs and mileage?
Power comes from a 2.25-liter inline-four connected to a four-speed manual and a dual-range transfer case. The mill was factory rated at 77 hp and 124 ft-lbs of torque. The odometer shows 3,800 miles, but the listing notes that true mileage is unknown.
Robb Report places the original Land Rover as an early mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive with doors and a roof, built from 1948 to 1985 across Series I, II, IIA, and III—the line that helped shape today’s luxury 4x4s.
When does the auction close, and what is the bid?
The Bring a Trailer sale runs through the afternoon of Thursday, August 27. As of press time, bidding had only reached $15,000, which Robb Report suggested could leave room for a deal if late interest stays soft.
