Welcome to the EYES ONLY newsletter.

Big Bond 26 news was announced earlier today: Denis Villeneuve is the Director of the new Bond film. And his wife is the Executive Producer.

We all know Denis Villeneuve from Dune and Dune: Part Two and he has made many other critically acclaimed movies including Sicario, so I think we got ourselves a great director here!

A very rare Bond car is offered by Heritage Auctions: one of the main Citroën 2CV cars driven by Roger Moore in For Your Eyes Only. Starting price: a staggering $120,000 - with hopes of $500,000, according to the auction house.

And this week’s blockbuster F1 will see Brad Pitt following in the footsteps of Bond: Pitt’s character will wear Sunspel shirts.

And check out my latest Instagram Reel in which I unbox the Factory Entertainment Goldfinger Tracking Device.

CARS

Rare FYEO Citroën 2CV for sale

Perhaps the only screen-used Citroën 2CV from For Your Eyes Only to ever come on the market is offered for sale at Heritage Auctions.

This one was the ‘pristine’ car used at the beginning of the sequence as Roger Moore as James Bond and Carole Bouquet as Melina Havelock make their escape, one of just three 2CVs modified to withstand the action required by the filmmakers.

007 STORE

Spy glasses in action

The 007 Store sent me some Summer goodies which I’m using on a trip. I especially like the Thunderball (beach) bag and 007 Wash Bag.

I was also able to try out the secret agent sunglasses and the rear view mirror effect does actually work (see this video on Instagram).

CLOTHING

Brad Pitt wears Sunspel in F1 The Movie

In the new movie F1, Brad Pitt wears a sweatshirt by Sunspel, the British brand known to Bond fans for its James Bond Riviera Polo.

According to Sunspel Brad Pitt wears a green color (which wasn’t part of their regular collection) and a pink version in the film.

Only 100 pieces of these colors were made available yesterday. The green quickly sold out, but the pink is still available.

Note that other colors of this shirt are easily available and some are even on sale.
