James Bond's submarine Lotus Esprit car auctioned

I seem to recall from the Top Gear James Bond Special that they used a model to film the scenes in the car. If so, how can this be fully operational?

IIRC they created a working submarine, with a diver in it with breathing gear, then used models etc as well.

I believe the models were 3/4 size. The car that hits the water looks pretty real though
