This magnificent set of door panels are the holy grail for Bond collectors and are the most sought-after of any of the Bond door panels created.


Only five known complete sets of these door panels have surfaced to-date.


This was the fourth in the James Bond series and stars Sean Connery. The film was directed by Terence Young, who had directed the first Bond film, Dr. No, and the second film, From Russia with Love. James Bond films are well known for their gadgets. This film is no exception with the introduction of Bond's Bell Rocket Belt (developed by Bell Aircraft Corporation).
