Coys is proud to present Captain Nemo's hero six-wheeled Nautilus car from the adventure film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. This model is inspired in part by Carol Spier’s design, Captain Nemo’s character and the car’s iconic green colour. We will be discussing the design, character, and appearance of this film classic.
Nemo’s car
Captain Nemo is prominently featured in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen's fantasy adventure film. It is a 24-foot-long convertible custom built by Ken Freeman of West End in North Carolina. The car is now for sale on eBay. You can find more information at www.nemocar.com. We hope you enjoy this video and learn more about this iconic car!
Last year, an authentic replica of the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' movie car sold at auction for $45,000 This replica is similar to the original but has several notable differences. The replica car has a unique body style and looks, making it impossible to replicate the movie car's design. It also has a hood ornament covered in Hindu decals.
Carol Spier's design
The six-wheeled Nautilus car, featured in the 2006 Sean Connery fantasy adventure 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen', is headed for auction. Spier was responsible for the design of the car that was used throughout the movie and was the subject in many promotional material and posters. The car measures 22 feet long, features two axles on each side, and is fully functional.
The Spirit of Nemo was built using the chassis of two Cadillac Fleetwood limousines as well as a Land Rover Fire Tender. To fulfill the cabriolet requirements of the project, designers used a Land Rover Fire Tender chassis and a special carbon fiber/kevlar combination. The body of the car is trimmed in brass, bronze, and 18k gold.
Land Rover fire tender
The Nautilus Car, the six-wheeled car based on the Land Rover Fire Tender, is heading to auction. The car was custom built by Carol Spier, and features a gilded body and bonnet. The Rover V8 engine is featured in the six-wheeled car, as well as a sub frame of steel. The interior is brown, with silver lining that spans the top. A silver grille depicts the Hindu god Ganesha.
Carol Spier designed the car's design and it was prominently featured in promotional posters. It was set up with scaffolding in order to capture close-ups. It was initially a Land Rover fire engine, but was then modified to suit the filming needs. The film's production team used a steel frame and a Rover V8 engine to increase its size and performance. It's still quite impressive, but its unique appearance adds to its value.
Captain Nemo’s character
The film's premise revolves around the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which is composed of members of different nations who perform extraordinary feats. Nemo was initially a disdainful of the British Empire, but he reluctantly agreed to join the League. As a result, Nautilus, the submarine that was built by Nemo became the League's main base of operations.
Captain Nemo's identity as a member of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen isn’t completely clear. The fictional character has an Indian heritage and a history of unclear religious identity. He is also the patriarch of Janni Dakkar the headstrong, who inherits the name. Bogdan Gajkowski, another descendant from Nemo and a talented singer who started recording under the stagename "Kapitan Nemo", is also a descendant.
