I used to love this car when I was a young lad because I thought it looked like a spaceship

My mate in Canada had one, had a drive in it in 1985, it was beige anarl, not a good look.

Was sold recently

http://money.cnn.com/2013/09/09/autos/james-bond-submarine-lotus/

After shooting was completed for the 1977 film, the submarine was displayed at car shows and used to promote the movie.


The film's promoters then put the sub into a storage locker on New York's Long Island. They paid a 10-year lease for the unit in advance and the vehicle was, shortly thereafter, forgotten about.

When the lease ran out and the storage company was unable to locate the locker's owner, its contents were put up for sale in a blind auction. No-one knew what was in the locker. A local couple won the bidding for less than $100, and went into the locker to find the finned Lotus inside.

The Lotus Esprit submarine car used in the James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me" was sold at a London auction for $920,167.

Love those cars and this one reminded me of this!

A bit of fins n chrome, it may surprise a few that late 50's/early 60's is my favourite era for cars, and American ones in particular, while Brits were driving Morris Minors and Standard Tens over the pond these were in every driveway....
