Description
Lotus Esprit Submarine, Wet Nellie, James Bond 007, The Spy Who Loved Me, Colour Landscape Poster Print, father, boyfriend gift Wet Nellie is a custom-built submarine, created for the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me in the shape of a Lotus Esprit S1 sports car. The Esprit was chosen to give James Bond a glamorous car to drive. Wet Nellie is named in reference to Little Nellie, an autogyro featured in the James Bond film You Only Live Twice, which was itself named after actress & comedian Nellie Wallace. The submarine does not maintain a dry interior, & thus is a wet sub that requires occupants to don scuba gear. It was built by Perry Oceanographic, Inc., of Riviera Beach, Florida, United States, specifically for the film, using a Lotus Esprit S1 bodyshell, for about $100,000 at the time. The wedge shape of the Esprit is designed to provide downforce, which would cause the submarine to dive. This undesirable force was compensated for by fins placed where the wheels would be in a conventional Esprit. The sub requires a crew of two to operate. It has four electric motors that allowed forward motion only. The interior bears no resemblance to that of a car, being just a platform for the scuba divers, & the equipment used to operate, drive, & power the sub.
