>LONDON - The classic white Lotus sports car driven by Roger Moore in Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me" was sold at auction in London on Monday for 111,500 pounds (259,337 Singapore dollars).

Bonhams auctioneers said the 1976 Lotus Esprit, which was driven on land and under water in the 1977 film, was bought by a private US collector who was bidding by telephone.

The new owner of the car, one of two Lotus cars driven in the film, described himself as a fan of both Lotus and James Bond and said the car would be going to Atlanta in the US state of Georgia.
