The Bond Museum in Keswick, Lake District

The Spy Who Loved Me

Lotus Esprit S1

For the 10th Bond film the scope of the film was stepped up a notch and it shows. The Spy Who Loved Me features numerous vehicles that the museum is proud to own and display. The main vehicle is of course the white Lotus Esprit S1 car that transforms from car to submarine in the film.

We have on display not only the actual car but also the actual submarine version that is used in the film, which was actually discovered at a scrap yard in the Bahamas.

Kawaski Z900 with exploding side car

The other vehicles on display are the actual Motorbike with its exploding side car used in the film to chase the Lotus through Sardinia.

The side car missile was launched at Bond but missed and hit a lorry carrying mattresses.

Together again! The black Kawasaki
and its sidecar painted in Stromberg
colours from The Spy Who Loved Me.

Some of the SWLM vehicles shown here when they were on loan to Pinewood Studios.
Stromberg helicopter

Naomi’s Stromberg Bell Jet Ranger Helicopter (full size) that gets shot down by the Lotus’s
sea-to-air rocket in the film hovers above the white Lotus in our museum display, just as it does in the film.

Wetbike

Bond uses a wetbike to escape the Stromberg tanker and rescue Russian agent Anya Amasova from Atlantis, Strombergs underwater research facility. The museum has the Pinewood studios SWLM reunion wetbike based on the original Spirit Marine prototype that was used in the film by Roger Moore.
