This is a Colin Chapman Giugiaro designed - collectors item – used in Bond movies. The design is a little bit more edgy than it used to be –during that time. Exterior in Calypso Red and interior in Champagne only 6 made.   This is also an example where Colin Chapman (founder of Lotus) used the knowledge from building and competing in – Formula One. Every driver loves the car and its agility. It was Chapman who developed the concept to build light-weight cars. There is just a few of them left in a good condition – that´s why the price goes up - continuously - in the UK. (In the US – even more.) Harry Metcalfe, sports cars specialist and collector says his Esprit (-85) is one of his best cars (actually, number three). Harry`s GARAGE has a new interesting Esprit-video:- details above. 1. The car is in a very good condition. 2. Matching numbers. Original spare parts. 3. We can make a presentation of the owners, the service book stamps, receipts etc. 4. The car has been refurbished by professionals – specialized on Lotus cars (Bennets AB). We have only used original spare parts, bought from Paul Matty's Sports Cars (Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, UK).

Not very clever security device if you ask me. The second car was a copper coloured Turbo Esprit, shown here, featuring a ski rack on the rear louvers. There were two identical copper cars used in the filming. The second being purchased directly from Lotus Cars in 1998. The car below was actually Lotus's 1980 Turbo Esprit prototype and was originally white, but the car was painted copper, so it would show up against the snowy backgrounds in the film. Both cars helped give the Esprit Turbo some much need promotion and increased the profile of the car to the general public. After the popularity of the white Lotus Esprit S1, in the 1977 James Bond Film, The Spy Who Loved Me, the new Turbo Esprit was featured in the 1981 film, For Your Eyes Only.

The car, said to be fully operational, was used in the underwater scene of the 1977 film starring Roger Moore as 007. After filming it toured various car shows before being stored in New York. It was sold at RM Auctions in Battersea, south-west London, for less than the estimated price of between £650,000 and £950,000. In had previously been auctioned as a blind lot in 1989. Peter Haynes, from the auction house, said: "Bearing in mind it is not a car that can be driven on the road, the price just goes to prove the draw that all Bond-related memorabilia has." 1976 Lotus Esprit [Type 79] in The Spy Who Loved Me, Movie, 1977

Used in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me The one and only fully functional Submarine Car One of the most famous movie cars of all time Amazing story of lost and found Never before offered for sale WET NELLIE SURFACES In conjunction with the 1977 release of The Spy Who Loved Me, U.S. Lotus (Lotus East) executive distributor Fred Stevenson procured Wet Nellie for display at auto shows, according to correspondence between Stevenson and the location manager for Eon in the Bahamas. Stevenson remembers the Lotus was full of sand and seaweed upon delivery in New York and there was no time to clean it prior to its first public debut at the New York Auto Show! This was followed by appearances at shows in Cleveland, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles, by which time its custodianship was taken over by Lotus West. Stevenson relates having great fun with the Lotus, discussing its unique features with dignitaries and celebrities who enjoyed having their photographs taken with Wet Nellie. Eventually, Wet Nellie was shipped to Long Island, New York, where it was kept in an unassuming storage unit in Holbrook, New York. The lease was reportedly for a 10-year rental, paid in advance. Fate later intervened when, in 1989, the rent delinquent unit was put up “blind” at public auction. A modest winning bid from an area couple brought surprise and wonder when the blankets were removed to reveal the iconic 007 Submarine Car. The roof had been damaged, but it was otherwise wholly intact. It’s new (and current) owners recount that, whilst towing it home, the CB radios of highway truckers were all abuzz about the sighting of the famed Lotus. After positive authentication, Wet Nellie was cosmetically restored and fitted to a custom-designed display trailer and exhibited occasionally, including a stint at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, but it was mostly kept closely under wraps…until now. NOBODY DOES IT BETTER “Of all the Bonds I made”, remembers Roger Moore, “The Spy Who Loved Me is the one I like best. The locations were right; the costumes were right; everything on that movie went together”. Sadly, Ian Fleming, the creator of the James Bond character and originator of the first 007 gadget car on paper, is no longer with us. However, Raymond Benson, author of seven “official” posthumous Bond books, had this to say: “I never used an underwater car in any of my Bond novels, but the Lotus in the film is one of my favourite vehicles in the 007 universe!” Today, Wet Nellie is presented with its restored, museum display quality exterior, whilst inside, the full operational equipment appears to be complete and original. This first-time-ever public offering of the Lotus is accompanied by copies of numerous period photos, rare movie stills, correspondence between Lotus East and the film production team, auto show memorabilia, and authentication documents. The 007 Lotus Esprit Submarine Car is one of the most inspired creations in the history of filmmaking. As such, we wouldn’t want it to fall into enemy hands, so we invite those who can enthusiastically appreciate its technology, ingenious deployment, and legendary screen appearance to attentively consider this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire Wet Nellie, one of the most fascinating and entertaining movie vehicles of all time. BEHIND THE SCENES: EVOLUTION OF A GREAT SPY CAR It is believed that Lotus provided two production “road cars”, plus seven Esprit fibreglass body shells, to the filmmakers. One of those shells was reported to have been split in half to film Roger Moore and Barbara Bach in their separate seats. The remaining six body shells, delivered bare, were used to initiate and consummate filming the underwater scenes. Each of these shells was modified to perform specific functions in the movie. Here is the evolution of Wet Nellie on the screen: 1. Used for the tyre retraction sequence. 2. Used to portray the side fins protruding from the wheel arches whilst the periscope extends. 3. Featured in the below-surface-to-air missile sequence from the rear hatch. 4. Tethered to a powerful air cannon and jettisoned off the pier and into the water below. 5. The spare unit for the above. 6. The one and only fully enclosed shell used to film the functional Submarine Car. Once filming was complete, the tyre shell (1) and the missile shell (3) were left behind in the Bahamas and given as souvenirs to Roberts Scrap Metal Company, who assisted with the heavy equipment for the shoot. The tyre shell exists today in poor condition in a Florida museum. The fin shell (2) has seemingly disappeared (with its whereabouts unknown), whilst the missile shell (3) is owned by the Ian Fleming Foundation and is proudly on display as part of the on-going 50th Anniversary of James Bond Exhibit at the Beaulieu National Motor Museum. The first of the pier shells (4) was damaged by the air cannon during filming in Sardinia, and it is presumed to have been discarded. The other pier shell (5) may have been unused or used more lightly; in any event, it was later unofficially retrofitted with mock up gadgets and sold in the late 1980s. Which leaves the one and only functional Submarine Car (6), which is being offered to the public for the first time ever. -Doug Redenius Co-Founder, The Ian Fleming Foundation

 

For Your Eyes Only Script

  
  
            Mr. Bond, Mr. Bond, I'm so glad I caught you.
            Your office called. They're sending a helicopter to pick you up.
            Some sort of emergency.
            It usually is. Thank you.
            Good afternoon, Mr. Bond.
            Don't concern yourself with the pilot.
            One of my less useful people.
            You are now flying Remote Control Airways.
            Think twice,    . It's a long way down.
            I've looked forward to this moment, Mr. Bond.
            I intend to enjoy it to the full.
            Really, have you no respect for the dead?
            Good-bye, Mr. Bond.
            I trust you had a pleasant... fright.
            You are fading from my picture, Mr. Bond.
            But the end cannot be far away.
            Mr. Bond! Mr. Bond!
            We can do a deal!
            I'll buy you a delicatessen in stainless steel.
            Please!
            All right, keep your hair on.
            Put me down! Put me down!
            Oh, you want to get off?
            Mr. Bond!

              I never need to hide
              You can see so much in me
              So much in me that's new
              I never felt till I looked at you
              For your eyes only
              Only for you
              You'll see what no one else can see
              Now I'm breakin' free
              For your eyes only
              Only for you

              The nights are never cold
              You really know me
              That's all I need to know
              Maybe I'm an open book
              Because I know you're mine
              But you won't need to read between the lines
              For your eyes only

              You'll see what no one else can see 'cause now I'm breakin' free
              For your eyes only
              Only for you
              The passions that collide in me
              The wild, abandoned side of me
              Only for you
              For your eyes only
              Afternoon. How's it looking topside?
              Beautiful day. Just bringing the nets in.
              Fish for supper again.
              Decode of Russian satellite data, sir, on British and American ship positions.
              - Verify and advise Admiralty. - Yes, sir.
              - Afternoon, sir. - Oh, hello, Mac.
              My watch.
              Where the hell did that come from?
              - What the devil's going on here? - An unidentified object closing fast.
              Destruct ATAC system.
              - Yes? - First Sea Lord and Vice Admiral, sir.
              Send them in.
              Shocking news, Minister.
              I'm afraid we've lost our electronic surveillance ship, the St. Georges.
              We had a routine message at      hours yesterday...
              then nothing.
              We sighted floating debris this morning.
              My God, Jack. How deep is the water there?
              Not deep enough, I'm afraid.
              Yes, Comrade Secretary. Off Albania.
              The suspected British spy ship which we have been monitoring.
              It suggests that there is a chance of obtaining...
              the ATAC transmitter.
              Oh, of course, comrade. There will be no direct involvement...
              but if it comes on the market, we should not lose...
              such a remarkable opportunity.
              With that in mind, I've already contacted our usual friend in Greece.
              Down you go. Go on.
              Down you go.
              Give us a kiss. Give us a kiss.
              I'll give you a nut. Here you are. Go on.
              Come on.
              - Your packages, senorita. - Oh, thank you.
              Melina!
              - Thank you, darling. - Hello, Daddy.
              Welcome home, Melina, my darling.
              - You look beautiful. - Thank you.
              Your call from Athens was such a pleasant surprise.
              I was lucky to find you. You left Crete so suddenly.
              Ah, yes, I wanted to come back here and start work on the temple again.
              - You between jobs? - Only for a few days.
              - I'll lend a hand if you want. - Darling, it's beautiful. Thank you.
              That's for you, and pistachios for Max.
              James.
              Moneypenny, a feast for my eyes.
              What about the rest of you?
              Well, I was going to get around to that.
              You'd better go in. M's on leave...
              and the minister's arrived here with the chief of staff...
              and wants to see you immediately.
              - I'll be right back. - I can hardly wait.
              Oh, haven't you forgotten something?
              Oh. Well, as M's away--
              Ah, there you are,    .
              Minister, Chief of Staff.
              Are you aware of our ATAC system,    ?
              ATAC, sir? Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator.
              Uses an ultra-low frequency coded transmitter...
              to order our submarines to launch ballistic missiles.
              Five days ago, our spy ship, St. Georges was sunk...
              in the lonian Sea.
              She was equipped with ATAC.
              Now, if that transmitter were to fall into the wrong hands...
              it would render our entire Polaris fleet useless.
              - Every order could be countermanded. - Worse.
              Our own submarines could be ordered to attack our own cities.
              Have we begun a salvage operation, Minister?
              An official operation was out of the question.
              The St. Georges was off the Albanian coast.
              We asked Sir Timothy Havelock...
              the marine archaeologist, to secretly locate the wreck.
              Before he could send in his report, he and his wife were killed...
              by a Cuban hit man, Hector Gonzales.
              The Greek police were able to identify Gonzales...
              from a description given to them by Melina, Sir Havelock's daughter.
              Operation Undertow. The information's all here.
              Now, Gonzales is at a villa near Madrid.
              Isolate him and apply the necessary pressure...
              to find out who hired him.
              A Walther PPK...
              standard issue, British Secret Service.
              License to kill.
              Or be killed.
              Take him away.
              Whoever you are, you've outstayed your welcome. Come on.
              - Well, I hope you have a car. - This way.
              Hurry.
              - Who are you? - He killed my parents.
              The Havelocks? I'm sorry.
              How did you know where Gonzales was?
              Through a detective agency. What were you doing there?
              I'm afraid we're being out-horsepowered.
              Excuse me.
              Take the low road.
              Not that low.
              You don't mind if I drive, do you?
              Go backwards. Forwards. Quickly.
              I love a drive in the country, don't you?
              Hold tight.
              Oh, by the way, we haven't been properly introduced, Melina.
              My name is Bond, James Bond.
              Olympic has a flight at   :  .
              It should be safe to go to the airport now.
              - Are you all right? - I'm fine, really.
              Are you going back to your father's ship?
              Yes, I'm continuing his work, but this business is still unfinished.
              - What business? - The man who paid Gonzales.
              The Chinese have a saying:
              "Before setting out on revenge, you first dig two graves."
              I don't expect you to understand.
              You're English, but I'm half Greek.
              And Greek women, like Electra...
              always avenge their loved ones.
              I must go.
              You were meant to question Gonzales, not let Miss Havelock perforate him.
              I quite agree, sir.
              We'll have to tell the prime minister Operation Undertow is dead in the water.
              She'll have our guts for garters.
              If you care to look again...
              at page two, paragraph four of my report, sir...
              you will note that I saw someone paying off Gonzales.
              Now, assuming that that was for Havelock's murder...
              then there's still a glimmer of hope.
              I don't follow.
              If we could identify that someone--
              Why don't you try the identigraph?
              - Yes, sir. - Get cracking,    .
              Minister.
              Hello, Q. Smithers, how's the arm?
              Coming along very nicely, thank you, sir.
              Oh, that'll come in handy.
              What are you doing here,    ?
              - Identigraph, Q. - This way.
              - Stinging in the rain? - That's not funny,    .
              I see you managed to get the Lotus back together again.
              I disregard these jibes about our equipment,    .
              I don't suppose you find it funny in the field.
              Indeed, I don't.
              This  -D Visual ldentigraph is still in the experimental stage.
              Now, once we get a composite of the man...
              we can find a match by patching into the photographic files...
              of the Surety, lnterpol, CIA, the Mossad.
              And the West German police. You've told me so already five times.
              Thank you,    . Right.
              Now describe the person you wish to identify...
              and I'll program the information.
              Male Caucasian, late thirties.
              Hair: fine, light brown.
              That's it.
              - Parted in the middle. - Wait a minute.
              - Right. - Eyes.
              - A little smaller. - Uh-huh.
              Blue. A little grayer.
              That's it. You have it. Now, nose.
              - A nose, not a banana, Q. - I'm sorry.
              Stop.
              Lips fuller.
              Mm-hmm. Oops.
              No, no, mouth wider. Good.
              Thank you.
              Thank you, Sharon.
              - You can go. I'll lock up. - Okay.
              I reckon we're almost there, Q, apart from glasses.
              Steel-rimmed.
              - Yeah. - Octagonal.
              Octagonal.
              That's him. That's our man.
              Right. I'll try and get a match.
              Yes.
              The man we want is Emile Leopold Locque...
              an enforcer in the Brussels underworld.
              He's been convicted of several...
              particularly brutal murders.
              He escaped from Namur Prison...
              by strangling his psychiatrist.
              He has worked for drug syndicates in Marseilles and Hong Kong.
              Now reported working for Greek smugglers.
              The ltalian Secret Service think that he is, at this moment, in Cortina.
              I'll instruct Ferrara, our man in northern ltaly, to contact you there.
              - Yes, sir. - And     try not to muck it up again.
              I'll do my best, sir.
              I'll leave you to lock up. Let me out, will you?
              The snow this year is better at lnnsbruck.
              But not at St. Moritz.
              - Ferrara. - Bond. James.
              Luigi.
              I presume London has briefed you.
              If Locque's in Cortina, we'll find him.
              I have a reliable Greek contact here, an Anglophile.
              He helped us out last year on a smuggling operation.
              - What's he doing in Cortina? - He--
              Spends a few months a year here at his chalet.
              He's in shipping, insurance, oil exploration.
              Knows everything going on.
              Very reliable.
              The British gave him the King's Medal for resistance fighting during the war.
              Yes, but can I meet him?
              I've set it up. He is waiting for us at the Olympic ice rink.
              - Kristatos. Ari Kristatos. - Bond. James Bond.
              Would you care to join me in some gluhwein?
              That's a very good idea. Thank you.
              Well, gentlemen, how can I help you?
              We'd like some information.
              My protege. A sure winner...
              in the next Olympics.
              She's completely absorbed in her skating...
              but innocent in the ways of the world.
              The day she wins the gold medal...
              will be the greatest in my life.
              Bibi, here are some new admirers for you.
              Mr. Bond, Mr. Ferrara, Bibi Dahl...
              and her coach, Jacoba Brink, once a world-class skater herself.
              I've seen Miss Brink skate.
              I think the world will soon be seeing a great deal of your skating too.
              Only if she works harder.
              - Much harder. - Oh, Uncle Ari.
              Can I stop now? I'm pooped.
              That's for Miss Brink to decide.
              Come, Bibi, another half hour of practice.
              Uncle Ari, will you take me to the biathlon?
              Bibi, you know I have to work this afternoon.
              Bibi wants to know if you would escort her, Mr. Bond.
              - I don't think-- - I would feel better...
              if there were someone with her.
              I'd be delighted. I'm staying at the Miramonti.
              Great!
              How can I help?
              - Do you know this man? - Yes. Locque.
              Columbo's right hand.
              Milos Columbo. His name came up in connection...
              with a smuggling operation last year.
              That's the least of his offenses. Drugs, white slavery, contract murder.
              In the Greek underworld, he in known as "the Dove."
              A very sick joke.
              - Where is this Dove? - Somewhere in Greece, I would guess.
              Once we were like brothers. Now he hates me.
              We fought together in the Greek resistance...
              then against the Communists.
              After that, he took a different path.
              Thank you for your time, Mr. Kristatos.
              My pleasure. I leave for Corfu soon.
              If I get any more information, I will call Ferrara.
              What do you think, Luigi? Does this "Dove" Columbo...
              have the resources to mount a salvage operation?
              Oh, definitely. He runs a fleet of intercoastal freighters in the Aegean.
              I'll ring my office in Milano. They may have more on him.
              - I'll see you later. - Okay.
              Is this the one you mean?
              Thank you. I'll take it. Deliver it to the Hotel Cristalo.
              I beg your pardon.
              - May I help you? - Yes, give me a dozen lilies.
              Will you?
              I'll pick them up later.
              Come on, quickly.
              Send them to the funeral, will you?
              Slow down. Would you mind telling me what the devil you're doing in Cortina?
              - Your telegram. - What telegram?
              It said you found the man and to meet you here today.
              I didn't send it.
              Now, get in.
              The station, please.
              - Are we leaving? - Not "we." You. And now.
              You don't tell me what to do.
              Did you find the man who hired Gonzales?
              I'm working on it.
              He's here, isn't he?
              That's why you're here. Driver, stop! Go back!
              - I'm staying. - So you can put an arrow in his back?
              You do that, and we'll never find out who or what is behind all this.
              It was my parents they killed, not yours. Let me out. Driver, stop!
              Melina, look at me.
              You were lucky once, but they are onto you now.
              The telegram, the motorcycles back there. They prove it.
              - Let me handle this. - You? How are you involved?
              All I can tell you is it's something of vital interest to both our countries.
              More important than my parents?
              Your father was part of it.
              He thought it important enough to risk his life.
              Now, Melina, please trust me.
              Go back to the Triaina and wait.
              Let me find out what I can here, then I'll come straight to Corfu.
              - I promise you. - Okay.
              I'll go back and wait, but not for long.
              It won't be, I swear.
              Don't they have showers at the ice rink?
              How did you get in here?
              One of the porters is a fan.
              He'll do anything for me, and I'll do anything for you.
              Well, I'm exceedingly flattered, Bibi...
              but you're in training.
              That's a laugh. Everybody knows it builds up muscle tone.
              How about building up a little more muscle tone by putting on your clothes?
              Don't you like me?
              I think you're wonderful, Bibi...
              but I don't think your Uncle Ari would approve.
              Him? He thinks I'm still a virgin.
              Yes, well, you get your clothes on, and I'll buy you an ice cream.
              Shall we?
              Don't you ever come up for air?
              That's why I'll get the gold medal-- breath control.
              Yes, well, you can't lose.
              And now, Erich Kriegler...
              Iast year's East European champion.
              There's Erich Kriegler.
              The East German champion?
              Isn't he beautiful?
              You know something, Bibi? You're fickle.
              Hey, Erich!
              Come on, let's go watch him shoot.
              We'll have a drink at the finish.
              Well, Bibi, I'm afraid I have to leave you.
              - No, James, stay with me. - I have an appointment.
              Will you come and say good-bye to me at the practice rink later?
              Please, James, we're going back to Greece soon.
              All right, but if I can't make it...
              all I can say is don't grow up any more.
              - Huh ? - The opposite sex won't survive it.
            Won't take long.
            - Don't play with any of the switches. - Right.
            What took you so long?
            I took the scenic route.
            Tell me more about your boyfriend, Erich Kriegler.
            He doesn't smoke, he only eats health foods and he won't even talk to girls.
            James, you're jealous.
            Of course. What else can you tell me about my rival for your affections?
            They say he's a defector from East Germany.
            It is time for your rubdown.
            I could eat you up alive.
            Farewell, Mr. Bond, but not good-bye.
            I'll be finished around  :  . Meet me here.
            How did you know I was here?
            I radio telephoned the Triaina, and they told me you were coming ashore.
            I have to go shopping for the crew. Come with me, we can talk.
            Why not?
            Thank you.
            I think you may need that.
            My father loved the view from here.
            - I can see why. - We came here often.
            - Is Corfu your home? - No.
            My real home's always been the Triaina, the Greek islands...
            Turkey, North Africa-- wherever my father's work took us.
            Did he leave any notes? They could help us.
            No, I don't think so.
            To tell you the truth...
            I haven't had the courage to go into his study since.
            Try not to think about it now.
            I'm meeting a man tonight at the casino who may give us a lead.
            You're perspiring, Bunky.
            Contessa.
                  .
            Only half? Where's your courage, Bunky?
            Courage is no match for an unfriendly shoe, Countess.
            Bravo, Bunky.
             Lucky night.
              The odds favor standing pat.
              If you play the odds.
              Would you cash these in for me, please?
              Thank you. Excuse me.
              Aperitif, please?
              Ouzo for me, please.
              And a whiskey.
              And to eat?
              I'll have the prawns, salad and Bourdetto.
              An excellent choice. I'll have the same.
              May I suggest a white wine from my home place?
              If you'll forgive me, that's a little too scented for my palate.
              I prefer the Theotaki Aspro.
              After our last meeting, I am asking myself...
              why you want to know about Locque, Columbo's man.
              I know Columbo runs heroin to be refined here...
              before it's sent to England.
              So I think I see the answer.
              You're from the British Narcotics Board.
              Am I right?
              Go on.
              I wish you luck, my friend.
              But I must warn you, stopping Columbo will be difficult.
              He has important connections. You cannot just arrest him.
              Find some different way.
              You may have to kill him.
              Does this discourage you?
              - Just tell me where he is. - Over there.
              With the woman in blue.
              We ignore each other, but I wanted you to see him.
              He is a secret partner in this casino.
              But we are perfectly safe.
              He will do nothing in his own place.
              And the countess?
              Lisl, an Austrian.
              Expensive mistress. She sometimes shills for the house.
              She bets with other people's money.
              But I must warn you, stopping Columbo will be difficult.
              He has important connections. You cannot just arrest him.
              You must find a different way.
              You may have to kill him.
              Does this discourage you?
              Just tell me where he is.
              You are a disgusting man. How dare you talk to me like that?
              I will speak to you any way I please. Sit down.
              You're making a spectacle of yourself.
              Get out!
              Nothing would please me more.
              - This may be an opportunity. - This may be a trap.
              If you play the odds.
              As you wish. Take my car. I'll play a little chemin.
              Ask the chauffeur to come back for me.
              Allow me.
              May I drive you home?
              No, thank you. I'll take a taxi.
              No courage?
              Seriously, you may have a job finding one.
              Well, you look like a gentleman.
              Why not?
              I am the Countess Lisl Von Schlaf.
              My name is Bond.
              I'm writing a novel about Greek smugglers. Know any?
              Smugglers? How would I know any smugglers?
              I would think that a lady in your position...
              would get to know many things.
              I'd be most grateful.
              How grateful?
              Very.
              I adore grateful men.
              May I call you tomorrow, Countess?
              I'm a night person. I have champagne and oysters in the fridge.
              Why not come in for a bite?
              I won't need you anymore tonight.
              - Cheers. - Bottoms up.
              Whoops!
              Me nightie's slipping.
              So is your accent, Countess.
              - Manchester? - Close.
              Liverpool.
              It was an amusing performance...
              between you and the owner of this.
              What exactly did Columbo whisper to you?
              That you're a spy. To find out more about you.
              And have you?
              Have I ever.
              When you're ready to leave, you can take my car.
              That sounds like a dismissal.
              I was looking forward to breakfast.
              Lisl, come back!
              Get in-- Ooh!
              Goodbye, Countess.
              What--
              - What should I do with you? - You cannot just arrest him.
              You must find a different way.
              You may have to kill him.
              - Does this discourage you? - Huh?
              Just tell me where he is.
              I'm here, Mr. Bond of the British Secret Service.
              But I'll tell you...
              it is Kristatos you want, not me.
              He told you about himself.
              He's the one with the powerful connections.
              Locque works for him, not for me.
              I smuggle, yes. I smuggle gold, diamonds...
              cigarettes, pistachio nuts...
              but no heroin.
              Sit down. That I leave to him...
              when he is not too busy working for Russia...
              against my country and yours.
              My country awarded him the King's Medal.
              Yes, I know. But other people died for it.
              During the fighting in Crete, he was a double agent.
              King's Medal.
              I would laugh if my heart was not so heavy...
              about my poor Lisl.
              What does Kristatos gain by setting you up?
              Well, I know too much about him.
              He wants me out of the way.
              By using a British agent to do his dirty work for him...
              your government might give him another medal.
              - Why should I believe you? - I'll prove it to you tonight.
              We'll go together to his warehouse...
              in Albania, okay?
              If I don't report in by morning...
              not only my people, but the entire Greek police will be down on you...
              Iike a load of bricks.
              Don't worry.
              By tomorrow, we'll be good friends.
              Let us drink to that.
              I'll wait till tomorrow.
              You may need this.
              I'm a good judge of men.
              Mr. Bond, you have what the Greeks call tha'ros.
              Guts.
              So have you, Mr. Columbo.
              Cheers.
              Santos' drug store.
              Watch it.
              J.I.M. diving equipment...
              for salvage work at depths of over     feet.
              - Raw opium. - An old smuggler's trick.
              Kristatos knows them all.
              Get your men out of here.
              Now.
              You left this with Ferrara, I believe.
              Had no head for heights.
              Where did the St. Georges sink?
              We can't be sure for certain. We know it was in this vicinity.
              Your father was using the temple as a front.
              Kristatos killed your father...
              so he wouldn't find the St. Georges before he did.
              Kristatos. How can I help?
              Where does your father keep his daily log?
              Daily log.
              Father and he were pals for    years. He repeats everything.
              - Give us a kiss. - What's his name?
              Max.
              Thank you.
              Hello.
              It's all shorthand.
              He used a special kind. Only I could decipher it.
              He made several surveys in Neptune.
              - What's Neptune? - Our two-man submarine.
              He saw a diving bell here.
              Diving bell?
              Oil exploration. Kristatos.
              Three days later, he sighted a wreck in the same area.
              And?
              That was his last entry.
              The day he was killed.
              Air would be useless at this depth. We need a mixture of oxygen and helium.
              I have the necessary equipment.
              The less people that know, the better.
              I'll give the crew shore leave except for the mate and two others.
              Let's go.
                  feet.
              An oxygen-helium mix will give us eight minutes. We'll have to work fast.
              Wouldn't the crew have destroyed the transmitter?
              Only if they'd had the chance to set the explosive timer.
              We have a visitor below.
              Conserve your gas supply. Speak only when necessary.
              I hope he was dining alone.
              Go back to the sub.
              No, no. I'm staying.
              That should be the command cabin.
              Eureka!
              "Main destruct timer...
              under lever right of ATAC housing, dualled...
              by ring main circuit through anti-handling charger."
              The destruct timer's set at one minute.
              For some reason, the lever wasn't pulled.
              The transmitter with a thermite charge.
              Hold these.
              "To bypass trembler switch...
              cut wires in following procedure."
              Cutters.
              Screwdriver.
              That's it. Let's get out of here.
              James, help!
              - James, I won't make it. - We both will.
              Get to the sub. I'll stall him.
              Try and close the CO .
              I'm trying.
              Careful, James. It's      years old.
              Thank you, Mr. Bond.
              You have saved us the trouble of disarming it.
              Apostis, take that.
              Where are my men?
              You will be joining them.
              Let the girl go.
              We'll double whatever you're getting.
              I never go back on a deal.
              It would be bad for my reputation.
              I will deliver it and return with the money.
              The voice of the KGB. Our agreement was that I designate the meeting place.
              After they pay, I will give them the transmitter.
              It must not be let out of your sight.
              Nor mine. Where are we going?
              We will take the ATAC to St. Cyril's.
              St. Cyril's. I'll arrange the pickup.
              Bind that wound. We don't want blood in the water yet.
              Murderer.
              You have shot your last bolt, Miss Havelock.
              Leave their legs free.
              They'll make appetizing bait.
              I didn't think it would end like this.
              We're not dead yet.
              Hold tight.
              Turn around. We go again.
              Take a deep breath.
              Again. Hurry.
              Help!
              Aw, leave him.
              Turn. Run them down.
              Follow me.
              Ahh. The sharks have them. Make port.
              Thank you.
              Hello.
              - Give us a kiss. - Max, not now.
              Kristatos is still alive.
              And probably headed to Moscow or Havana by now.
              We'll never get him.
              Or the ATAC.
              ATAC to St. Cyril's.
              Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
              That's putting it mildly,    .
              Your signal sent Whitehall into shock.
              So far we have managed to locate...
                  St. Cyril's in Greece.
              Heaven only knows to which one Kristatos took the ATAC.
              I know a well-informed person to contact about that, Q.
              St. Cyril's, where we used to hide from the Germans.
              Only Kristatos would make an abandoned monastery his personal retreat.
              My friend, I've been studying this place...
              for just such an occasion.
              We'll split here, huh?
              Your best approach is on the right face, away from the building.
              Then you will have to make towards the shed on the left...
              which houses the basket and the electronic winch.
              It can be operated only from the shed.
              Good luck.
              Should have brought more people.
              - James is counting on surprise. - But we are only five men.
              And one woman.
              Eighteen...
              nineteen...
              twenty.
              Fifty more.
              That's the pits! I'm supposed to be skating in Oslo, in lnnsbruck.
              Why are we in this creepy place?
              Our plans are changed. We are going to live in Cuba for a few months.
              - Cuba! - You can skate without distractions.
              I'll be your audience.
              What a drag. I want to win the gold medal.
              We all want that.
              I know what you want.
              But you're too old for me. I'm splitting.
              - You have poisoned her against me! - Don't blow your top, Ari.
              - Leave her alone. - I will deal with you...
              as I deal with everyone who betrays me.
              Bibi...
              you're so young.
              You must have a sponsor.
              I'll find another one.
              Go outside and check the guards.
              Let me know when the helicopter arrives.
              One of Kristatos' killers.
              - Aah! - Shut him up.
              Get the door.
              Come on, George. Let's go.
              Hurry, unless you want me to go without you.
              You know, I will never leave you.
              Your general is late.
              Only bad weather would delay him.
              Cover the windows.
              Let's go.
              He's all right. Leave him.
              He's all right.
              Back!
              Okay. Let's go.
              I'll be with you.
              Sorry.
              Cover the door!
              Where's Kristatos? And keep your voice down.
              We are leaving him. He mustn't know until we're gone.
              We'll help you if you help us.
              Come.
              Where are the guards?
              That way.
              Wait here.
              Move!
              - Where's Kristatos? - The other side of the courtyard.
              You better stay here.
              What have you done to Brink?
              - Go back to your room! - You can go to hell!
              Drop it.
              - Where's Kristatos? - He's left with the ATAC.
              You're going to pay for it.
              You're not as fast as you used to be.
              No, Melina, that's not the answer.
              We'll turn him over to the Greek police.
              Out of my way, James.
              All right...
              but be prepared to dig those two graves.
              That's detente, comrade.
              You don't have it. I don't have it.
              It seems as though Bibi has a new sponsor.
              - How's it going? - I've patched through...
              a high security line to the satellite.
              We can try Bond now.
              Good. Are you through to Number   ?
              Standing by, sir.
              You know what I'd like?
              I can't imagine.
              A moonlight swim.
              007 are you there?
              Bond, are you there?
              For your eyes only, darling.
                - He's there. - Patch in the prime minister.
                I'll get it, Denis.
                Hello.
                Mr. Bond on the line, Prime Minister.
                Ah, Mr. Bond...
                I wanted to call you personally to say how pleased...
                we all are that your mission was a success, thank you.
                Thank you, thank you.
                Don't thank me, Mr. Bond. Your courage and resourcefulness...
                are a credit to the nation.
                Denis and I look forward to meeting you.
                Meanwhile, if there is anything I can do for you--
                Give us a kiss, give us a kiss.
                Well, really, Mr. Bond.
                I think we're having a little trouble with the line, madam.
                You idiot. Get on to him.

Mission James Bond must recover the ATAC missile launching system before the Soviets can obtain it and use it to destroy Western nuclear submarines. He is aided by Melina Havelock, who has her own motive: avenging the murder of her parents. James Bond is thrust into one of his most riveting adventures in this jam-packed free-for-all of outrageous stunts, passionate encounters and exciting confrontations. In perhaps the best performance of his career, Roger Moore portrays Agent 007 with lethal determination After a ship is sunk off the coast of Albania, the world's superpowers begin a feverish search for its valuable lost cargo: the powerful ATAC system, which will give the bearer unlimited control over Polaris nuclear submarines. As Bond joins the search, he suspects the suave Kristatos (Julian Glover) of seizing the device. The competition between nations grows more deadly by the moment, but Bond finds an ally in the beautiful Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet), who blames Kristatos for the death of her parents. The non-stop action includes automobile chases, thrilling underwater battles, and even a breathtaking tour over razor-sharp coral reefs. But all this is merely a prelude to 007's cliffhanging assault on a magnificent mountaintop fortress. With unforgettable characters, seductive locales, and go-for-the-jugular suspense, For Your Eyes Only is a mesmerizing action-thriller of the highest order.

This is a Giugiaro designed - collectors item – used in Bond movies. The design is a little bit more edgy than it used to be – during that time. Exterior in Calypso Red and interior in Champagne! Sun-roof! This is also an example where Colin Chapman (founder of Lotus) used the knowledge from building and competing in – Formula One. Every driver loves the car and its agility. It was Chapman who developed the concept to build light-weight cars. There is just a few of them left in a good condition – that´s why the price goes up - continuously - in the UK. (In the US – even more.) Harry Metcalfe, sports cars specialist and collector says his Esprit (-85) is one of his best cars (actually, number three).

Carole Bouquet (Melina) was originally supposed to play Holly Goodhead in Moonraker. She passed it up because she was already signed to do the film That Obscure Object of Desire. When she got the opportunity to be in For Your Eyes Only she jumped at the chance. Roger Moore was originally not going to be in this movie so the scene at Tracy's grave was meant to ease a new actor into the role. During the filming of the bobsled chase, a stuntman, Paolo Rigon, was killed. Roger Moore was terrified of heights and barley made it through the St. Cyrils filming. The scene where Melina and Bond are dragged through the water for the sharks to eat is actually taken from the book "Live and Let Die". Pierce Brosnan's wife (only dating at the time), Cassandra Harris, played the Countess Lisl. After a four year struggle with ovarian cancer she died in December of 1991 and never had the opportunity to see her husband in the title role of James Bond. The security code for the door to the Identograph is "Nobody Does it Better" from the The Spy Who Loved Me. Kristatos, Colombo, and Lisl are introduced in the Ian Fleming short story "Risico". The Identogram that is used to identify Locque, is featured in the book Goldfinger. It is called the Identocast, and Bond uses it to identify Goldfinger. During the scene where Bond and Q use the Identogram, there's a cut away where the return shows the two of them jackets off, sleeves rolled up indicating the passage of time. The picture of Locque, however, is unchanged. After using the Indentogram, Q offers to lock up the lab. The mere notion of someone having to lock up Q-branch in such a run-of-the-mill fashion is laughable. M does not appear in the film as a tribute to Bernard Lee who died prior to filming. Because of Carole Bouquets sinus problems, the close-up underwater shots of Bond & Melina were actually shot in an entirely dry studio and not underwater. They were shot at a higher frame rate with wind machines. SFX man, Derek Meddings added the bubbles in afterwards. Kristatos (Julian Glover), was a serious contender for the role of 007 but according to Dana Broccoli, he was a little young the first time around and later on, a little too old. Julian had also appeared alongside Roger Moore in The Saint. Producer Michael G. Wilson can be seen in the monastery where Bond visits Q. One of the girls in the pool scene was born a man. Barry Cossey, cruelly bullied at school in Norfolk, underwent a sex change operation to become Caroline, a Parisian topless dancer also known as Tula. Tula was the archetype of the early seventies showgirl: tall, skinny, exotically androgynous, with hormonally assisted curves and a surgically augmented bust, the face of an angel. And a little bit extra, which she hid with a cruelly tight customised G-string until she could have the surgery, at the Charing Cross Hospital in London, 1974. Post-op, Caroline's career took off. No longer a topless burlesque dancer, she became a highly sought-after glamour model and commercials actress, in an age when her lanky, other-worldly looks were the height of fashion. The pinnacle, and a step onto a bigger stage, she hoped, came in 1980 when she was cast in For Your Eyes Only.

At the beginning of the film, a white Lotus Turbo Esprit was used, while Roger Moore investigated Gonzale's House. 2 bad guys attempted to break into the car, however, the security system activated and blew up the car! Not very clever security device if you ask me. The second car was a copper coloured Turbo Esprit, shown here, featuring a ski rack on the rear louvers. There were two identical copper cars used in the filming. The second being purchased directly from Lotus Cars in 1998. The car below was actually Lotus's 1980 Turbo Esprit prototype and was originally white, but the car was painted copper, so it would show up against the snowy backgrounds in the film. Both cars helped give the Esprit Turbo some much need promotion and increased the profile of the car to the general public.
	After the popularity of the white Lotus Esprit S1, in the 1977 James Bond Film, The Spy Who Loved Me, the new Turbo Esprit was featured in the 1981 film, For Your Eyes Only. Where as the Esprit in the Spy Who Loved me was "an all sing, all dance" submarine, the Turbo Esprit's took on less ambitious roles in the film.

Bland de som provfilmade för rollen som Bond, när Moore hotade att hoppa av, fanns både Timothy Dalton och Mel Gibson.  Inledningsscenen, där Bond besöker sin döda frus grav, skrevs in i manuset för att en eventuell ny skådis i huvudrollen skulle introduceras som Bond.  Filmaffischen, där Bond avbildas mellan ett par kvinnoben, ansågs på sina håll vara alltför vågad. Vissa amerikanska tidningar klippte av affischens övre del i annonserna, och på en tidning i Pittsburgh var det någon som hade målat på ett par kortbyxor på damen på affischen. I Japan valde man att göra en helt egen, mer "politiskt korrekt" affisch.  Dessutom var det flera fotomodeller som ville ta åt sig äran av att vara den som stått modell för benen på filmaffischen. Till sist visade det sig att rätt ben-innehaverska var fotomodellen Joyce Bartle. "Det var lite pinsamt att behöva bevisa att mina ben var mina", sade Joyce.  Förtexterna är de enda i Bondserien där vi får se artisten som sjunger titellåten - i detta fall Sheena Easton. Enligt Maurice Binder var det så komplicerat att sätta ihop förtexterna på detta vis att han inte ville göra om det.  Carole Bouquet sade i en intervju att Roger Moore påminde om hennes far. Denna hänsyftning på Moores ålder gjorde stämningen bitvis frostig mellan honom och Bouquet.  Carole Bouquet hade provfilmat för rollen som Holly Goodhead i Moonraker, men fick en roll i denna film istället. Hon blev sedan även känd som fotomodell för parfymen Chanel no 5.  Cassandra Harris, som spelar Contessa Lisl, var gift med Pierce Brosnan. Hon avled tyvärr i cancer några år senare.  Stuntkvinnan som ersatte Harris i scenen då hon blir påkörd på stranden, blev skadad. Inte undra på då att scenen ser så realistisk ut!  Q:s assistent Smithers spelas av Jeremy Bulloch. Han var även en av de brittiska besättningsmännen på HMS Ranger i The Spy Who Loved Me, och är av Star Wars-fansen mer känd som mannen inuti Boba Fetts rymddräkt.  Tjejen i blomsteraffären i Cortina, där Bond köper liljor, är Robbin Young som vann en tävling i Playboy : "Vinn en roll i nästa Bondfilm".  Undervattensscenerna är inspelade i Bahamas, med undantag av vissa sekvenser som togs i en vattentank i Pinewood studios. Al Giddings hade hand om de vanliga scenerna medan Derek Meddings skötte specialeffekterna.  Stuntmannen som utförde fallet från St Cyril´s-klippan i filmen är samme man som hoppade från Mount Asgard-klippan i The Spy Who Loved Me - Rick Sylvester.  I For Your Eyes Only övertog Peter Lamont scenograf-stolen efter den legendariske Ken Adam. Lamont designade sedan också resten av 80-talets Bondfilmer.  Man spelade in en hel del scener på Korfu, bl a sekvenserna vid Gonzales villa och biljakten (fast dessa scener äger rum i Spanien i filmen). Casino-sekvenserna togs i 1800-talspalatset på Korfu som lät byggas av kejsarinnan Elizabeth av Österrike.  Intäkterna från galapremiärerna för Bondfilmerna brukar gå till välgörande ändamål. I fallet For Your Eyes Only gick intäkterna till en fond för rehabilitering av handikappade. Flera recensenter kunde inte låta bli att nämna att filmen kanske kunde ha visat en "mindre okänslig bild av rullstolsbundna".  Den som föreställer "Blofeld" i filmens inledningsscen är John Hollis (utan att vara nämnd i den officiella rollistan). Ett lustigt sammanträffande är att Hollis hade en liten roll även i Casino Royale (som thailändsk munk).  I det slutliga manuset har man tonat ned det faktum att tränaren Jacoba Brink uppenbarligen finner sin skyddsling Bibi mycket tilldragande.  Charles Dance, som spelar skurken Claus (han harpuneras på stranden av Columbos män), fick senare rollen som Ian Fleming i tv-filmen Goldeneye, som beskriver Flemings liv och karriär. Han var mycket porträttlik i rollen.  Till denna film hör den egendomligt upphaussade historien om "Bondtjejen som egentligen var en man". Som alla vet brukar producenterna av Bondfilmerna engagera en grupp fotomodeller till varje film, och deras uppgift är att synas i bakgrunden och se vackra ut. I For Your Eyes Only hade man engagerat modeller till scenen vid Gonzales´ Madrid-villa. Sedan filmen haft premiär, visade det sig att en av modellerna, Tula, många år tidigare hade genomgått en könsbytesoperation och varit född som man. Det slogs förstås upp i veckopressen: "Inte ens 007 kan se skillnad" och liknande trams. Tula syns i filmen i ungefär sju sekunder. Den som vill veta mera om hans/hennes liv kan läsa biografin "Mitt liv" av Caroline Cossey (Tulas riktiga namn).  Det var en sällsynt mild vinter i Cortina, vilket gjorde att man blev tvingade att transportera dit stora mängder snö inför inspelningen av filmen.  Stora protester mötes av Munkarna i det 600 år gamla Meteora klostret i Kalambaka, Grekland. De protesterade mot att en James Bond film skulle spelas in på helig mark. När scenerna trots det, spelades in protesterade de bl.a. genom att hänga ut tvätt.  Det sägs att producenten och Roger Moore sysselsatte sig med att spela backgammon under hela tiden han spelade Bond. Dessutom skall producenten ha förlorat närmare en fjärdedels miljon dollar till Moore!

Used in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me The one and only fully functional Submarine Car One of the most famous movie cars of all time Amazing story of lost and found Never before offered for sale WET NELLIE SURFACES In conjunction with the 1977 release of The Spy Who Loved Me, U.S. Lotus (Lotus East) executive distributor Fred Stevenson procured Wet Nellie for display at auto shows, according to correspondence between Stevenson and the location manager for Eon in the Bahamas. Stevenson remembers the Lotus was full of sand and seaweed upon delivery in New York and there was no time to clean it prior to its first public debut at the New York Auto Show! This was followed by appearances at shows in Cleveland, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles, by which time its custodianship was taken over by Lotus West. Stevenson relates having great fun with the Lotus, discussing its unique features with dignitaries and celebrities who enjoyed having their photographs taken with Wet Nellie. Eventually, Wet Nellie was shipped to Long Island, New York, where it was kept in an unassuming storage unit in Holbrook, New York. The lease was reportedly for a 10-year rental, paid in advance. Fate later intervened when, in 1989, the rent delinquent unit was put up “blind” at public auction. A modest winning bid from an area couple brought surprise and wonder when the blankets were removed to reveal the iconic 007 Submarine Car. The roof had been damaged, but it was otherwise wholly intact. It’s new (and current) owners recount that, whilst towing it home, the CB radios of highway truckers were all abuzz about the sighting of the famed Lotus. After positive authentication, Wet Nellie was cosmetically restored and fitted to a custom-designed display trailer and exhibited occasionally, including a stint at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, but it was mostly kept closely under wraps…until now. NOBODY DOES IT BETTER “Of all the Bonds I made”, remembers Roger Moore, “The Spy Who Loved Me is the one I like best. The locations were right; the costumes were right; everything on that movie went together”. Sadly, Ian Fleming, the creator of the James Bond character and originator of the first 007 gadget car on paper, is no longer with us. However, Raymond Benson, author of seven “official” posthumous Bond books, had this to say: “I never used an underwater car in any of my Bond novels, but the Lotus in the film is one of my favourite vehicles in the 007 universe!” Today, Wet Nellie is presented with its restored, museum display quality exterior, whilst inside, the full operational equipment appears to be complete and original. This first-time-ever public offering of the Lotus is accompanied by copies of numerous period photos, rare movie stills, correspondence between Lotus East and the film production team, auto show memorabilia, and authentication documents. The 007 Lotus Esprit Submarine Car is one of the most inspired creations in the history of filmmaking. As such, we wouldn’t want it to fall into enemy hands, so we invite those who can enthusiastically appreciate its technology, ingenious deployment, and legendary screen appearance to attentively consider this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire Wet Nellie, one of the most fascinating and entertaining movie vehicles of all time. BEHIND THE SCENES: EVOLUTION OF A GREAT SPY CAR It is believed that Lotus provided two production “road cars”, plus seven Esprit fibreglass body shells, to the filmmakers. One of those shells was reported to have been split in half to film Roger Moore and Barbara Bach in their separate seats. The remaining six body shells, delivered bare, were used to initiate and consummate filming the underwater scenes. Each of these shells was modified to perform specific functions in the movie. Here is the evolution of Wet Nellie on the screen: 1. Used for the tyre retraction sequence. 2. Used to portray the side fins protruding from the wheel arches whilst the periscope extends. 3. Featured in the below-surface-to-air missile sequence from the rear hatch. 4. Tethered to a powerful air cannon and jettisoned off the pier and into the water below. 5. The spare unit for the above. 6. The one and only fully enclosed shell used to film the functional Submarine Car. Once filming was complete, the tyre shell (1) and the missile shell (3) were left behind in the Bahamas and given as souvenirs to Roberts Scrap Metal Company, who assisted with the heavy equipment for the shoot. The tyre shell exists today in poor condition in a Florida museum. The fin shell (2) has seemingly disappeared (with its whereabouts unknown), whilst the missile shell (3) is owned by the Ian Fleming Foundation and is proudly on display as part of the on-going 50th Anniversary of James Bond Exhibit at the Beaulieu National Motor Museum. The first of the pier shells (4) was damaged by the air cannon during filming in Sardinia, and it is presumed to have been discarded. The other pier shell (5) may have been unused or used more lightly; in any event, it was later unofficially retrofitted with mock up gadgets and sold in the late 1980s. Which leaves the one and only functional Submarine Car (6), which is being offered to the public for the first time ever. -Doug Redenius Co-Founder, The Ian Fleming Foundation
