 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.

THE GRAND HOTEL MIRAMONTI MAJESTIC AMONG JAMES BOND'S FAVORITE INTERNATIONAL HOTELS

The online version of the prestigious British newspaper The Daily Telegraph recently published an article on the Miramonti Majestic, counting it among the favorite structures of James Bond, the well-known protagonist of the series of novels and related feature films by the British writer Ian Fleming.
The Grand Hotel Miramonti Majestic is one of the 20 international destinations used as a backdrop for the successful films of the series. In Italy, in addition to the Miramonti Majestic, Cala di Volpe in Sardinia and the Venetians Danieli and Cipriani are mentioned.
The main film, which saw some scenes shot at our facility, was "For your eyes" (1981), where Bond was played by the unforgettable Roger Moore. In the scenes, the actor looked out from the balcony of room 108, with the wonderful view of the Dolomites and the Ampezzo valley.

Lotus Esprit Turbo 1984 S3 214 hk Right hand drive.

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). 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).

Big projects that has been done:

- New paint work (with the original color number, paint work preservation by Mr. Cap)
- Advanced engine reparation (shifting liner, piston, decock set turbo hc, timing belt etc.)
The engine runs perfectly well and has a nice sound.
- Gearbox overhaul (cleaning/checking, shifting syncro-rings)
- Drive line (new crown-wheel and pinion etc.)
- New steering rack set
- Repairing and refurbishing the interior (leather and textiles)
- The clutch (driven plate, release bearing, pressure plate) and things belonging to the clutch (as slave cylinder) has been shifted.
5. - New solinoid and alternator
6. - Newly refurbished turbo (2018)
7. - New tyres
8. - Water-reservoir refurbished
9. - New blinkers/indikators

10. Last ordinary service (oil, filter etc.) was done in april 2016.

 11. The car has passed the ”Swedish MOT” (Bilprovningen) without any problems – at all. Next test time is in April 2021-07-31.

12. Milage since refurbishment: 3000 km (totally: 105 000 kilometers).

13. Certificate of Vehicle Provenance is included.
This car was the 135th out of 137 cars 1984. The car was the last out of 36 cars in Calypso Red. The last car out of 6 cars in Calypso Red and Champagne (half leather

 
  • 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.

The car was sold for an amazing $210,000, so it is offically the most expensive Lotus Esprit Turbo in the world!

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!

Tula's scene in For Your Eyes Only

Ich hoffe, die Aufnahme gefallt Ihnen und Sie konnen sie in Ihrem Museum verwenden.

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.)

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.

1977 S1 in "submarine" mode, as seen in The Spy Who Loved Me

An S1 Esprit was featured in the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, where a car famously converted into a submarine after a road chase. The car used in the underwater scenes, nick-named "Wet Nellie", was bought by businessman Elon Musk in September 2013.

Two Essex-spec Turbo Esprits were featured in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. A white one destroyed early in the film and a copper-red model appearing later.

An X180 Esprit appeared in the film Pretty Woman after Ferrari and Porsche declined the product placement opportunity because the manufacturers did not want to be associated with soliciting prostitutes. Lotus saw the placement value with such a major feature film and supplied a Silver 1989.5 Esprit SE.

The car was also seen in Basic Instinct, The Rookie, Taking Care of Business, If Looks Could Kill / Teen Agent and Parts: The Clonus Horror, as well as the short-lived TV series The Highwayman.

RM Auctions is putting the Esprit Series 1, which starred in the 1977 Bond flick “The Spy Who Loved Me,” on the block in London, September 8-9.

rmauctions.com

A submarine car used in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me has been sold for £550,000.

The Lotus Esprit sold for less than the guide price despite a bidding war between a woman in the auction room and a telephone bidder who took the prized collector's piece.

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."

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.
