Ursula's 007 bikini sold in auction

The bikini worn by the actress, Ursula Andress, in the first James Bond film, "Dr No", has sold at auction in London for sixty-thousand dollars.

The white cotton bikini was part of the largest sale ever held of clothing, posters and other double-0-seven memorabilia.

It was bought by the owner of the Planet Hollywood restaurant chain Robert Earl.

A silver Aston Martin driven by 007 in the film "Golden Eye" was sold for nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
