The 007 X Connolly Collection Announced

Posted by

Inspired by 007 and Connolly’s long association with the Aston Martin DB5, Connolly is delighted to announce the launch of an exclusive capsule collection celebrating the release of No Time To Die.

In 1964 the Aston Martin DB5 made its first on-screen appearance in a James Bond film. The gadget laden Goldfinger car made an instant impact with its silver birch exterior and unique interior graced with grey Vaumol Connolly leather. To mark Connolly’s long association with Aston Martin and the return of the DB5 in No Time To Die, Connolly have created a special 007 capsule collection.

Anchoring the collection of menswear are two hero pieces – the Navy Blue Mixed Linen Giubbino Jacket and an Oatmeal Linen Shirt. Both items are worn by James Bond in No Time To Die and are now available in a limited series, with an added rare opportunity to purchase the Giubbino Jacket in a Soft Suede Lambskin, and the Linen Shirt in Navy or Sky Blue.

Further building on the collection, Connolly are producing a bespoke Classic Navy Blue and Graphite Drop Back Car Vest with an original grey Connolly Vaumol leather zip pull, which features Connolly’s hallmark metal bolt rivet, and a reworked interior including a hidden pocket.

Inspired by the DB5’s emblematic silver birch finish and grey Vaulmol upholstery of the original Goldfinger DB5 is a collection of small leather accessories, including a Key Ring, Passport Holder, Credit Card Case, Folded Card Case, Circuit Pouch and a pair of Connolly’s distinctive Driving Goggles. These accessories are produced using a combination of grey and black Vaumol leather. The same colourway is carried through into the brand’s celebrated two-tone Driving Gloves, featuring silver foil hallmarking with a subtle nod to the original DB5 registration plate.

A family business of saddlers and shoe-smiths founded in 1878, Connolly was well established as a global reference for high-grade automotive leather by the time David Brown acquired Aston Martin in the late 1940s, having furnished the likes of Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Jaguar since the turn of the century. No wonder, then, that Connolly would become a valued supplier to Aston Martin, the pre-eminent builder of luxury British sports cars.

The 007 x Connolly Collection is available now from connollyengland.com and 007store.com

Behind The Scenes With The Range Rover Sport

Posted by

The Range Rover Sport SVR goes off-road to pursue James Bond in the latest behind-the-scenes look at No Time To Die, in cinemas from September 30.

The action vehicles and stunt professionals on the new James Bond film pushed the most powerful Land Rover ever made to extremes. The new video gives a taste of the high-speed action as the team explain why Range Rover SVR was perfect for the job.

The chase sequence puts the luxury performance SUV amid the action, led by Oscar®-winning special effects and action vehicles supervisor Chris Corbould and stunt coordinator Lee Morrison.

Morrison said: “I was really keen to shoot a Bond chase sequence off-road, in a really challenging environment and the Range Rover Sport SVR was the perfect choice for this part of the story. We shoot everything for real so we’ve pushed it to the absolute maximum and the pursuit promises to be one of the memorable set-piece moments of the film.”

The Range Rover Sport SVR takes luxury performance to new heights with enhanced driving dynamics and a powerful 575PS supercharged V8 engine, making it the perfect choice for the role. It can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds (0-60mph in 4.3 seconds) and has a top speed of 283km/h (176mph), making it the fastest ever Land Rover.

No Time To Die will feature a Range Rover Classic alongside three Defenders and a Series III Land Rover. See the film in cinemas from September 30.
