Always wanted the Lotus Esprit of James Bond want to have a real working submarine? Today you could get for €650,000 has your stroke store. These special submarine-cum-car was auctioned.

For the film “The Spy Who Loved Me” was in the 70s, a real working submarine on the basis of a Lotus Elise built. It seems that at that time about $100,000 in cost, and if you extend it to today’s dollars then you come on to $500,000.

The nice thing is that the seller of this particular car was only $100 has paid for this piece of film history. How is that possible? The Esprit submarine was stored in a container and when the tenant was not able to pay the contents, sight unseen, will be auctioned. And so, so that you for $100 buying something that is €650.000 yields at an auction. Nice deal it seems to me so.

For the recordings of “The Spy Who Loved Me” are several Esprit’s used, because the copy that we see here is not suitable for the public road.
