Hello and welcome to BOAB Models - today we'll be building the Bond car submarine Lotus Esprit S1 model kit in 1/24 from Fujimi. This is a replica of the car driven by Roger Moore's James Bond 007 in 'The Spy Who Loved Me' (1977).

The Lotus Esprit is a British sports car that was built by Lotus Cars at their Hethel factory in England between 1976 and 2004. It was among the first of designer Giorgetto Giugiaro's polygonal "folded paper" designs.

An S1 Esprit was featured in the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, where a car famously converted into a submarine after a road chase. The car used in the underwater scenes was nick-named "Wet Nellie".
Two Essex-spec Turbo Esprits were featured in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. A white one destroyed early in the film and a copper-red model appearing later.
