James Bond's car-submarine Lotus Esprit from "The Spy Who Loved Me" is up for auction

For all the fans of the James Bond franchise who, like the girls after Agent 007, have a little over a million euros lying around, Christmas has come early, because you can become the owner of the Lotus Esprit S1 underwater vehicle, which in Bondiada from 1977, The Spy Who Loved Me directed by Roger Moore.

Amphibious vehicle The Lotus Esprit S1 used during the filming of the film "The Spy Who Loved Me" (Roger Moore, Barbara Bach), unfortunately does not have a road permit, but where without engine I wouldn't have anything to do anyway. If you remember, it is James Bond slalomed with it on narrow roads and managed to escape a helicopter spewing bullets.


Making a car (either exists only six copies or according to some theory only three) in those days it cost around (calculated) 400 thousand euros, so the asking price, which is more than once higher, is not surprising, and not (in case you were wondering), water rockets are not included in the price.
