Iconic movie car up for auction
James Bond’s Lotus Esprit, as driven by Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me, is expected to fetch up to £120,000 when it goes up for auction in London next month.
The white ‘76 Esprit, which famously transformed into a submarine vehicle at the touch of a button, will be sold on December 1 at Bonhams auction house, as part of their annual automotive sell-off.
Bonhams also hope that the AU1 numberplate, which adorned Auric Goldfinger’s Rolls Royce Phantom, will fetch more than £80,000 when it goes in the same sale.
