Wet Nellie :''Not to be confused with Wet Nelly''. Wet Nellie〔''The Telegraph'' (India), ("Bond’s 'Wet Nellie' car sold" ), Reuters, 10 September 2013 (accessed 2013-11-13) 〕 is a custom-built submarine, created for the 1977 James Bond film ''The Spy Who Loved Me'' in the shape of a Lotus Esprit S1 sports car.〔 Auto Evolution (ae), ("Wet Nellie: The Second Most Famous Bond Car" ), Alex Oagana, 9 May 2011 (accessed 2013-11-13) 〕 The Esprit was chosen to give James Bond a glamorous car to drive. "Wet Nellie" is named in reference to Little Nellie, an autogyro featured in the James Bond film ''You Only Live Twice''.〔 ''The Telegraph'' (London), ("Inside James Bond's Lotus supersub" ), Leo Wilkinson, 12 August 2013 (accessed 2013-11-13) 〕 Little Nellie was named after Nellie Wallace.〔 Places & Faces, ("The Name's Wallis" ) (accessed 2013-12-12) 〕 == Construction == The submarine is a "wet sub" for SCUBA divers, not having a dry environment, requiring occupants to don scuba gear.〔 It was built by Perry Oceanographic, Inc., of Riviera Beach, Florida, USA,〔 ''The Telegraph'' (London), ("Billionaire Elon Musk admits he bought James Bond's submarine car" ), Chris Irvine, 18 October 2013 (accessed 2013-11-13) 〕 specifically for the film, using a Lotus Esprit S1 bodyshell, for about $100,000 at the time.〔 The wedge shape of the Esprit is designed to provide downforce, so would force the submarine to dive, so was compensated for by fins placed where the wheels would be in a conventional Esprit. The sub would require a crew of two to operate. It has four electric motors that allowed forward motion only.〔 The interior bears no resemblance to that of a car, being just a platform for the scuba divers, and the equipment used to operate, drive, and power the sub.〔
