“Can you swim?” 007 famously asked before driving his Lotus Esprit ($TBA) off the end of a pier, escaping from a pesky helicopter, and startling Bond girl Anya Amasova in The Spy Who Loved Me. But, as it turns out, her swimming skills were unnecessary, when the car turned into a fully-functioning submarine, complete with ship-to-air missiles, props, control surfaces, and more. While it probably won’t come equipped with any high-powered explosives, you can own this original 1977 piece of film history — that is, if you’re lucky enough to be the highest bidder. And yes, it does actually work. [via]
