The Spy Who Loved Me underwater Lotus still, shown framed on a wall

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

Photo Still (8 X 10 Inches)
£285.00

An original 1977 United Artists Black and White Publicity Still, unframed.

The Lotus Esprit submarine car glides along the seabed, with a diver filming from below.

Wet Nellie earned her nickname honestly: she was a "wet" submarine, flooded inside, so her pilot, the retired US Navy SEAL Don Griffin, drove her in full scuba gear. The underwater photography was led by Lamar Boren, the specialist who had filmed Thunderball's undersea battle more than a decade earlier. When the car finally rolls out of the waves onto a crowded Sardinian beach, it delivers one of the great audience-pleasing moments of the series.
