As Robin probably never said, “Holy brilliant replica Batmobile Batman!”
You wouldn’t happen to have an extra £90, 000 lying around would you?
If you do then, wow, congratulations. Now follow JOE’s advice – one, don’t tell the authorities. And two, forget about your family savings account and instead spend it all on this incredible life-size, fully functional, road-legal Batmobile based on Michael Keaton’s model used in the Tim Burton 1989 film, Batman.
Auctioneer Edward Bridger-Stille, an English man with the most English of Englishman names, explains that the car will go up for sale at the Historics car auction on 30 November, and is expected to sell for between £70,000 and £90,000. He went on to say “The car is like a dream for any Batman fan. It brings traffic to a standstill with people wanting to be photographed by it.”
Yes Edward, you’re right, bringing traffic to a standstill IS the dream for any Batman fan.
According to the Daily Mail, the Best Car In The World (as JOE has now nicknamed it), has a 3.2 Litre Jaguar engine, can go from 0-100 kph in under five seconds and HAS A WORKING FLAMETHROWER COMING OUT THE BACK OF IT.
AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about that. We’re just slightly excited at the improbable prospect that we could actually own our very own Batmobile. As will you after you watch the brilliant videos below:
We’re not too sure about the state of the Batcave though, which seems to have let itself go slightly. And Batman, is that the sweeping brush that you said you DIDN’T borrow from us two months ago!? You’ve obviously got a Henry the Hoover you can use intead for God’s sake.
