Abstract
AFICIONADOS of the James Bond movie franchise will recognise the vehicle in the blueprint as the modified Lotus Esprit S1 from 'The Spy Who Loved Me'. The car takes centre stage in an exhilarating car chase, during which it converts into a submarine to make its escape underwater. The 007 Lotus Esprit is routinely voted the best movie car of all time and, as with so many of Bond's gadgets, it comes armed to the teeth with all kinds of explosives, weaponry and other fiendish devices to assist with the defence of Queen and country. Known as 'Wet Nellie', the wet-sub was named after the Wallis WA-116 Agile gyrocopter 'Little Nellie' in 'You Only Live Twice', that had in turn been named after the music hall star and actress Nellie Wallace.
