Going back to the film the car was made for the scene in which Bond which was played by Roger Moore, escapes the gunfire from an overhead helicopter by thrusting forcibly into the water, accompanied by a nervous Barbara Bach in the passenger seat. Peter Haynes of RM Auctions Europe expresses that they are delighted with that price which is a great amount of money taking the piece of movie memorabilia into consideration. He was known to have added having it as an demeanor in mind it is not a car that can be driven on the road, the price just goes to justify the draw that all Bond-related memorabilia has.
