See The Underwater Sports Car That Cost £1.2 million

This submarine car was inspired by James Bond's Lotus glides along the seabed at 75mph. The zero emission ‘Submarine Sports Car’ is powered by an electric motor and is fitted with propellers and two water jets to provide lift.
In 2013 , a submarine car that was driven by Roger Moore as James Bond in the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me sold at auction for £880,800 (£550,000).
The Lotus was nicknamed 'Wet Nellie' during filming and was built by a former Navy SEAL at a cost of around $100,000 (£62,439) - the equivalent to $500,000 (£312,196) today.
Although Roger Moore starred as Bond in the film, the submarine car was driven by retired Navy Seal Don Griffin during underwater filming.
Another version of the famous sub-aquatic car is currently listed on Ebay for $1million (£624,393).
The car, listed by classic car dealer Hot Rod City, has fins and retractable wheels but no engine.
The car is fitted with propellers at the rear and two water jets mounted behind rotating vent-like louvers at the front of the vehicle, which provide steering and lift.
It has two built-in scuba tanks and diving regulators to allow two people to remain underwater for up to an hour.
