Former Nigerian senator Dino Melaye, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and taste for luxury, has once again sparked conversation after being spotted in London inspecting a rare James Bond car priced at approximately $3.9 million.
The vehicle in question is now Jaguar C-X75, one of the original stunt cars used in the 2015 James Bond film Spectre. The car, featured in a high octane chase scene through the streets of Rome, was driven by the villainous Mr. Hinx, played by Dave Bautista. Of the five stunt cars built for the film, only four survive, with one nicknamed Car Seven now made road legal by UK engineering firm Callum.
The car has been significantly modified to meet road safety standards, with upgrades including Electronic marked glass, new wing mirrors with integrated indicators, catalytic converters, and a quieter exhaust system. These changes have not diminished its cinematic allure, as it remains a collector’s gem and a symbol of British automotive and film heritage.
Take a look at how some people reacted to the video that Senator Dino Melaye posted on Instagram below;
Melaye’s interest in the vehicle has raised eyebrows back home in Nigeria, where public scrutiny over the wealth and post political activities of former officials remains a hot topic.
The James Bond car is set to make its public debut at Bicester Heritage’s Scramble event, further fuelling excitement among automobile collectors and Bond enthusiasts alike.
