Marty McFly's (Michael J. Fox) hoverboard from Robert Zemeckis' sci-fi adventure sequels Back to the Future: Part II and Part III. McFly first obtained his hoverboard from a young girl in the year 2015 to escape from Griff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) and his gang, and continued to use it throughout both films. The hoverboard became McFly's signature item and remains one of the franchise's most beloved props.

Two primary styles of hoverboard were made for production: wooden boards for effects work, including shots of the performer riding the board, and lightweight foam boards typically used for shots of the board being carried. This hoverboard is of the latter kind, constructed primarily of rigid lightweight foam, painted pink and given a photo-print finish on both sides (as opposed to the lenticular print used on some boards).

The top of the board features the word "HOVERBOARD," with Mattel logos, a foot-pad, zig-zagging pink-and-green fastening strips, a hole where the handle was once attached, and a fuzzy pink foot strap (these are frequently missing from the Mattel board props). The bottom features plastic detailing, including two silver-coloured hover pads.

This hoverboard exhibits wear from use and age, including adhesive residue around the fastening strips, cracks and dents in the foam, and paint chipping throughout, most extensively around the hover pads. It is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Bruce Moriarty, second unit first AD; two printed copies of the hoverboard concept art; and a printed photograph of Michael J. Fox with a hoverboard. Dimensions: 71.25 cm x 21.75 cm x 6.5 cm (28" x 8 1/2" x 2 1/2")

Estimate: £70,000 - 140,000 Ω
