James Bond’s White Lotus Esprit Is The Best Ever Screen Vehicle
Despite Lady Penelope’s pink Rolls-Royce from Thunderbirds dominating recent headlines, a recent survey has revealed it is James Bond’s classic Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me, which is the nation’s most desirable screen vehicle.
Over 1,000 people voted for their favourite screen vehicle in the Yahoo! Search survey and the white Lotus Esprit car was the clear favourite securing almost a third of the vote followed by David Hasslehoff’s car Kit from Knight Rider (17%).
Patrick Oqvist from Yahoo! Search comments:
"Although there’s loads of classic film vehicles out there, our search for the favourite has shown James Bond’s modified Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me a worthy winner. With rear firing mud sprayers, an underwater kit that changes the car into a fully operative submarine, surface-to-air missiles, underwater smoke screens and torpedoes the most desirable screen vehicle has to be Bond’s."
The full results were as follows:
Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who loved Me (29%)
Kit from Knight Rider TV film (17%)
De Lorean from Back To The Future
Batmobile from Batman (10%)
Mini from The Italian Job (9%)
Gran Torino from Starsky & Hutch (6%)
A-Team Van from The A-Team TV film (5%)
Danny Zucko’s Greased Lightning from Grease (2%)
Herbie from Herbie Goes Bananas (2%)
Reliant Robin from Only Fools & Horses TV films (2%)
