James Bond’s Lotus from The Spy Who Loved Me fetches £111,500 at London
auction
With the 007 movie Quantum of Solace bringing James Bond back into the
public eye, Bonhams today (1 December 2008) sold the 1976 Lotus Esprit,
driven by Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me, for £111,500.
The classic white sports car, which attracted worldwide attention at
Bonhams’ annual motoring sale in Olympia, West London, was bought by a
private US collector, who was bidding on the telephone against a number of
people in the saleroom. Commenting after the sale, the car’s new owner, who
described himself as both a Lotus and James Bond aficionado, said that the
car would be going to Atlanta, Georgia in the USA.
The vehicle was one of two Lotus cars driven in the 1977 film by Roger
Moore’s James Bond character. In the movie it turned into an amphibious car,
driven both on land and underwater.
