007's lotus fetches $254k

LONDON - THE classic white Lotus sports car driven by Roger Moore in Bond film 'The Spy Who Loved Me' was sold at auction in London on Monday for 111,500 pounds (S$253,994).

Bonhams auctioneers said the 1976 Lotus Esprit, which was driven on land and under water in the 1977 film, was bought by a private US collector who was bidding by telephone.

The new owner of the car, one of two Lotus cars driven in the film, described himself as a fan of both Lotus and James Bond and said the car would be going to Atlanta in the US state of Georgia. -- AFP
