Whilst probably not the most arresting news you’re going to read today, the Lotus Esprit Turbo that was the Bond car in For Your Eyes Only is going at auction tomorrow (sat). I have a slight problem that it’s got a ski rack on it, and a big gold “007″, as you’re going to look about as much of an awesome super-secret agent as someone rocking up in the fucking Batmobile. Read more after the jump.
It’s expected to fetch $200,000 at Coys’ at Blenheim Palace. The white Esprit from For Your Eyes only went for $210,000 in 2006, but that actually turned into a submarine, so really it’s two vehicles in one. No really. Did you not see Roger Moore cooly driving onto the beach from the water and removing a fish from the interior? To be honest, Moore could do the whole film with just his eyebrows. They’re arguably the finest double act in cinematic history.
