James Bond torture chair complete with metal cuffs used to strap down 007 in Live and Let Die auctioned for £5,000
Movie prop picked up as souvenir by sound recordist on 1973 flick who has kept it ever since
A TORTURE chair Roger Moore was strapped to in James Bond classic Live And Let Die is set to fetch £5,000 at auction.
The movie prop features in a scene from the 1973 movie where corrupt Caribbean Prime Minister Dr Karanga interrogates 007.
The swivel chair is made of stainless steel and has bespoke metal cuffs to restrain whoever is sat in it.
It was picked up as a souvenir by the sound recordist who worked on the film and he has kept it since then.
He has now put it up for sale for £5,000.
Katherine Schofield, memorabilia specialist at London-based auctioneer Bonhams, which is selling the chair, said: "It is a fantastic chair and anything relating to James Bond is very collectable.
"It has everything you would imagine a villain's chair to have - with its slick finish it looks a bit dangerous, the handcuffs over the hand rests are brilliant and it even has a lever at the back of the chair.
"It's just really fun and sums up James Bond in many respects, certainly from the villains' side.
"We are so used to costumes and guns, which are great, but it's nice to have something like this come along.
"At Pinewood Studios, where the film was shot, they had a sound booth where they would work with different materials to mimic sounds.
"The sound technician was given the chair during production and acquired it afterwards."
The film, Roger Moore's first of seven as James Bond, was released in the US on 27 June 1973.
It grossed $161.8million worldwide and holds the record for the most viewed broadcast film on television in the United Kingdom, attracting 23.5million viewers when it premiered on ITV on January 20, 1980.
The auction takes place on December 15.
