I was at "that age" and the Lotus was a real top notch super car. And there were very few super cars at the time, just the Countach and the Ferarri Berlinetta come to mind from that era.
Almost sad that Moore had the best toys - and the lamest movies for the most part.
The first two - Live and Let Die and Man with the Golden Gun were OK, after that it became almost its own cliche.....

I assume you mean the film museum? The motor museum was my recent research source for my Austin Healey restoration.

If you REALLY like car collections Harrahs in Reno used to be amazing. I don't know how much is still there but it started with an 1800's Duryea Benz. There was an entire hanger devoted to every variant of Model T ever. Well worth visiting id you have a chance.
The real submarine version of the Lotus is now owned by Elon Musk. There is a wiki with the history of it.

It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.

The City of Chicago sure went out of their way for that movie. From driving through Daly plaza to filming the high speed run under the L to the site for the Pinto drop (Illinois Nazis Last Ride) with the skyline in the background.
Loved all the cameos in that movie too...from Frank Oz (Miss Piggy) in theopening scene to Paul Rubins, Twiggy, and of course Stephen Spielberg as the clerk in the tax office, and Joe Walsh in the jailhouse rock scene......

THE biggest continuity gaff in the whole movie. When they cut back from the Penguin sliding back into her office all the desk wreckage is gone.....

Well now, wait a second, she also had those mysterious powers you know like when the door closed on its own once they were sitting in their desks or when she levitated away after screaming at them in a righteous manner when they were at the bottom of the stairs.
She had her own angel clean-up crew for all we know?
