Someone Snagged Ex-Sean Connery BMW 635CSi For £46,100

Last October, Sir Sean Connery, who was known mainly for being the first actor to portray Ian Fleming’s James Bond secret agent, passed away at age 90, and now one of the cars he owned has been auctioned off.

Connery was the best-loved most well-regarded of all the actors to play 007, and now, a BMW 635CSi he bought new in 1986 and owned for around a decade has just sold on The Market for £46,100 ($62,629 at current exchange rates).

After its decade in Spain, the car was in dry storage in the UK from 1998 to 2007, and then again in Luxembourg from 2008 to 2019. Its most recent public appearance was a brief one in 2016 at BMW‘s 100 Years event in Belgium.

The car is finished in Alpine White, and the paintwork, as well as the rest of the exterior, is in very good condition. The bodywork and its respective panel spacing is even, clean, free from any deformities, and there is no visible evidence of any rust. The original wheels are in solid shape, with the exception of a minor scrape on one of the rear ones.

As for the interior, it’s upholstered in a subtle Pacific Blue leather, and it offers the same level of quality as the exterior. There is some minor creasing on the front seats, and the rears look like they’ve never even housed a passenger. Except for the cruise control, everything electrical is in working order.

It has 61,841 km (38,426 miles) on its odo, which, according to the vendor, is attributed to the fact that during his period of ownership, Mr. Connery was busy starring in movies. Everything under the car is in good shape as well, with the only indication of the vehicle’s age being, according to The Market, “the most superficial dusting of surface rust.”

Overall, if you factor in this car’s condition, combined with its famous owner, it seems like the buyer of this BMW 635CSi came out a winner.
