And the Buggy Goes to...

From IMDb:
Connery Secretly Buys Bond Moon Buggy

Sir Sean Connery has secretly bought the ultimate souvenir from his days playing superspy James Bond - the moon buggy he rode in 1971 movie Diamonds Are Forever. The space vehicle Bond used to make a hasty getaway in the film was due to be sold on December 14 at London auction house Christie's for an estimated $56,000. But the veteran actor charmed the buggy's owner, 007 Magazine editor Graham Rye, into selling it privately for $54,000. An insider says, "He even shocked us. We never thought a Bond star would buy it."
