Are you one of those people who has always dreamed of being Marty McFly?
Fear no more! That dream is one step closer to coming true!
Coming this fall in the UK, there will be a massive auction of old movie props. Included in this auction will be none other than Marty McFly’s hoverboard that was used in the filming of Back to the Future: Part II. Estimates on the pricing of the hoverboard have it going for as high as $25,000. There were two different hoverboards used for filming – one of styrofoam and one of wood. Because of the high pricetag, it’s expected that the wooden one is going to be the one up for auction.
If you don’t think you have $25,000 to fork over for this awesome prop, don’t worry! Most of the props will be on display at the Vue Westfield cinema in London from October 1 through the 16th. The auction will happen on the last day of the display – October 16. This is the largest auction of original film memorabilia ever in the UK. If you’re interested, you can sign up for the auction at PropStore.
Some other items of interest in the auction are a golden ticket from the original Willy Wonka, a leather jacket worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a mini Batmobile.
