Gordon Goody, who combined the rakishness of James Bond with the bravado of Jesse James to help conjure up Britain’s daredevil Great Train Robbery in 1963, died on Friday in Mojácar, Spain. He was 85.

His death was confirmed by officials in Mojácar, his adopted Andalusian town on the Mediterranean, where he owned and ran the Chiringuito Kon Tiki beachfront bar after he was released from prison in 1975. No cause was specified, but he was reported to have had emphysema.

Mr. Goody’s death is believed to leave only two surviving members of the unarmed 15-man gang that staged the robbery, an audacious, nighttime ambush of the Glasgow-to-London Royal Mail train on Aug. 8, 1963.

It was the world’s largest cash robbery at the time. The gang made off with 2.6 million pounds, or the equivalent of nearly $50 million today. Little of the take, including Mr. Goody’s share, which would be worth about $3.6 million today, was recovered.
