An Undisclosed Property, Dallas, TX
Black Tie
For the cars that defined a century. And the foundation that will define the next.
On Tuesday, July 7, 2026, the Ian Fleming Foundation and AUTIX gather a curated room to mark a long-term partnership, and to underwrite the work that comes next. A private black-tie evening, by invitation, in benefit of the Foundation's grants, scholarships, and awards for the next generation of readers, writers, and filmmakers.
The vehicles on the floor are not props. Each one was on set, in the script, on screen. Tracy's '69 Cougar. The Living Daylights V8 Volante. The '97 BMW from Tomorrow Never Dies. Tiffany's Mustang Mach 1 from Diamonds Are Forever, making its first public appearance in Texas.
AUTIX gives each of them a permanent digital record: provenance, valuation, identity. The dossier travels with the vehicle. The film ends, the credits roll, and the record lives on. Bond's diamonds were forever. So are these machines. So are the stories they make possible.
The Collection
Fifteen lots curated from the Ian Fleming Foundation and the AUTIX members archive. Provenance verified. Cinematic history present.
The Showcase
An Aston Martin presentation in three acts: past, present, and what is yet unspoken. In concert with SupercarsInDallas.
The Reveal
The reason you are here. AUTIX returns. The covers come off. Brief remarks; the rest is left to those who remember how to read a room.
Seven movements, scored to the minute.
Arrival & Cocktails
Guests arrive, walk the floor, and take the first cocktail of the evening as the room fills.
Welcome & Partnership Announcement
Jake Hamann, founder of AUTIX, opens the evening and announces the formal partnership between AUTIX and the Ian Fleming Foundation.
The IFF Collection
Alan Porter, President of the Ian Fleming Foundation, presents the collection pieces and their provenance, then speaks to why the Foundation chose AUTIX as the digital home for the vehicles.
The Hosts Take the Floor
Jordan Agee, founder of SupercarsInDallas, spotlights the community and featured member vehicles, then welcomes the room to the floor.
Coverage for the Collected
Josh Jones of Cars & Coverica speaks to the modern collector's coverage problem: how documented provenance, verified valuations, and digital identity reshape what it means to insure a significant vehicle.
The AUTIX Reveal
The first IFF vehicle profiles unveiled live on-platform: xEstimate valuations, digital provenance, QR and NFC identity. The partnership, in action.
Texas Premiere · Tiffany's Mach 1
Alan Porter walks the room through Tiffany Case's 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 from Diamonds Are Forever: its on-screen role, its post-production trail to the Foundation, and its first appearance on Texas soil. The Mach 1's full AUTIX dossier goes live mid-presentation.
Open Floor & Onboarding
Guests explore the vehicles by QR and NFC tap, create their AUTIX profiles, and experience the platform firsthand.
Closing Toast
A final pour. To the new partnership, and to the future of digital identity for the world's most significant collections.
Five lots. One floor. The first time most of these have been shown together in Texas.

An Undisclosed Property
An institutional-grade property in Dallas, chosen for its acoustics, its lighting, and the climate-controlled discretion that an Ian Fleming Foundation collection requires. The location travels with the invitation, not the announcement.
Doors at 18:00 to confirmed guests. The address is dispatched by separate cover once a seat is secured. Valet, security, and the floor plan are arranged accordingly.
FOUR HOUSES. One evening. By mutual invitation.
Request
your seat.
Between 125 and 150 seats. Each one underwrites the Foundation's next year of grants, scholarships, and awards for the next generation of readers, writers, and filmmakers. The list is reviewed weekly. Discretion observed throughout.
The vehicles endure. The stories endure. And tonight, the next generation does too.
The Ian Fleming Foundation is a California-based 501(c) non-profit. Beyond preservation of the world's largest private Bond vehicle collection, the Foundation funds grants, scholarships, and awards for emerging readers, writers, and filmmakers. Proceeds from The Unveiling flow directly to that mission.
“Bond's diamonds were forever. So are these machines. So are the stories they make possible.”
