BUNDLEC41 James Bond 'Land, Air and Sea' Collection

Lotus Esprit Submarine - James Bond 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

Product code: CC04514

One of the most iconic vehicles to emerge from Q Branch, the Lotus Espirit featured in ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ is capable of both land driving and underwater use, transforming into a submarine in a matter of seconds. Armed with an array of gadgets including surface to air missiles, the highly versatile Lotus later makes a memorable return to land amongst a packed beach of astonished beachgoers.  

The submersible Lotus Espirit was realised onscreen in ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ through both miniature special effects photography and the construction of a full size operational incarnation, built by Florida based marine engineers.  The submarine was formed from an Espirit body shell supplied by Lotus, with the addition of four propellor units, ballast tanks and power provided by batteries sealed in a water-tight compartment. During filming in the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas, the craft was operated from within by a former Navy SEAL dressed in full scuba diving gear.

Gyrocopter [Little Nellie] - James Bond 'You Only Live Twice'

Product code: CC04604

The ‘Little Nellie’ autogyro is a small one person aircraft, fully fitted out with a powerful selection of gadgets by Q Branch. Flown on an armed reconnaissance mission by James Bond in You Only Live Twice, Little Nellie is forced to prove its mettle when it is engaged by helicopters operated by SPECTRE.

In reality, ‘Little Nellie’ is actually an example of the Wallis WA-116 Agile autogyro. Developed in the 1960s by Ken Wallis, a former Wing Commander in the Royal Airforce, over ten examples of the aircraft were built, with different variants offering several alternative engines options. One example was even built to seat two people. Five of the WA-116s were built by Beagle Aircraft based in Shoreham in the United Kingdom, and one of these examples was modified for use in You Only Live Twice. ​​

Rolls Royce Sedanca de Ville - James Bond 'Goldfinger'

Product code: CC06807

One of James Bond's most memorable foes was Auric Goldfinger, 'the man with the Midas touch', and the owner of this iconic Rolls Royce Sedanca de Ville. Driven by Oddjob, his deadly Korean manservant, the car formed a crucial part of Goldfinger's plans as a smuggler, with parts of the vehicle recast from melted down gold bullion. This enabled Goldfinger to move the precious metal across borders undetected. 

The passenger compartment remained the height of luxury and concealed a pull-down table where Goldfinger begrudgingly signed a £5,000 cheque to Bond - his prize for winning their game of golf. The Rolls Royce Sedanca de Ville was the first vehicle in the company portfolio to be powered by a twelve-cylinder engine that weighed in at over 7,000 pounds and was capable of cruising at over 100 miles an hour. 

This vehicle's numberplate AU 1 is reference to the chemical symbol for gold on the periodic table.
