At Auction 'Bond' Car Gets Lotsa Lotus Lettuce

Amphibious sportscar from 'The Spy Who Loved Me' Fetches Almost $166K!

The classic white Lotus sports car driven by Roger Moore in Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me" was sold at auction in London on Monday for $165,936 dollars (111,500 pounds; 131,634 euros), according to AFP.

The news agency reported that Bonhams auctioneers said the 1976 Lotus Esprit, which was driven on land and under water in the 1977 film, was bought by a private U.S. collector who was bidding by telephone.

The new owner of the car, one of two Lotus cars driven in the film, described himself as a fan of both Lotus and James Bond and said the car would be going to Atlanta, Georgia.
