Let's face it - us petrolheads are boys that like to play with expensive, tire-shredding toys. As such, it's virtually impossible not to have wanted, at a certain moment in time, a car from James Bond's long list of super exotic, super rare and tricked out vehicles.
Many would go for the Aston Martin DB5, while others might prefer the V8 Vantage from 1989's James Bond - The Living Daylights. It's kind of impossible to wish for the Citroen 2CV or BMWs the one and only 007 had over the years, but many fans of the franchise regrettably ignore the Lotus Esprit S1 submarine sports car from The Spy Who Loved Me.
Only three of those still exist and each one cannot be driven on the public roads. One is owned by none other than Tesla Motors' Elon Musk, the second is in the garage of an unidentified classic car collector, but the third is now for sale on eBay for $1,000,000. But hey, this one was used when filming the 007 movie and it was really "driven" by Roger Moore.
To boot, the British submersible sports car has been recently restored by Rick Dale and featured on the History Channel's "American Restoration." Currently in the hands of the Dezer Hollywood Cars Museum, the legendary vehicle is sold by a Nevada dealer that informs Nevada residents they'll have to pay an 8.1 percent sales tax and $99 documentation fee over the cool $1,000,000 asking price on the auction site.
But a chance such as this one doesn't come very often and such an iconic and rare machine may very well double its value in the next 10 years or so, so stop pondering and put your money where your mouth is.
