I have just bought this and imported it from England.
This is quite famous in boating and Lotus circles in the UK.
It is on the cover of several magazines I have.
I also own a street car just like the one in the "Spy Who Loved Me".
Pictures are attached.
Both will be at the Lake Lanier Car Show on Oct. 11.
Sometime in the afternoon of the car show, I will launch the "flotus" and cruise around sunset cove and the beach.
Later I will move both the Lotus car and the Lotus boat to be on display out front of the stage and restaurant at the end of Sunset Cove for
the Full Moon Party and Fireworks.
Anything related to James Bond seems to be very popular with the public.
As this is the Initial Launch in US waters of the "James Bond" Lotus Esprit Marine aka "Flotus", I thought you might be interested in covering it.
This was not used in the movie, but is the only one ever built in the world, and the only one that actually travels in the water.
There is much more to the story.

A Bite of History: Unicorn Restorations, the 1974 Camaro Z28
by Mike Thies
At any good car show, you will find 1957 Chevys in every form: survivors, frame-off restorations, and restomods. What you will rarely find is a 1958. That tells you something about the collector market. Not every year of a popular model becomes a true collectible. Buyers pick favorites, and those years get saved, restored, and passed down, while the years next to them…
