Boy, this Polka dancer really lucked into one hell of a collection of super 8 (from what they wrote me about in a message I sent them about the film collection when I was bidding on one). I'm really quite giddy about what may come up next?!!!
OK, onto the Bonds ...
"Moonraker was printed on, I believe, Kodak SP, and all prints I have seen of this title, tend to be brown some some degree.
HOWEVER ...
I happen to have a print of "For Your Eyes Only" and this print seemed to have made it out onto LPP or some other low fade stock, as my print has flawless color, really lovely to look at.
Now bear in mind that my endorsement is not iron clad, as there might have been other stocks used as well, but most of these airline prints were print runs that were done all at once, and usually from one location (unless they were also done in other countries as well, which is of course possible), so it's a better chance than not, that this print also has impeccable color ...
However, as always, bid with caution.

I will chip in here, I bid and won Dr No from this Ebay seller
last month, and I can tell you the film was in better condition
than I expected, it was faded but not as much as I thought it would be. This as osi said was probably on sp stock slightly
brownish as I remember, but no tram lines or emulsion scratches
and this was on 2 x 1200 reels. If anyone this side of the pond is thinking of bidding it gets better, 7 days door to door from
new York to the west midlands incredible, and the best bit is
this seller use's eBay's new GPS which get's around our invasive
and rip off import taxes completely so you save a lot of money
indeed. The only downside I can see is the time they finish,
early morning. There it is guys, if you want to bid, don't be
put off, very good communication too, but as always the choice
is yours.
