I have just been searching the web of where to buy a batmobile, I've seen this one http://www.fueltopia.co.uk/profiles/blogs/the-batmobile-has-arrived Any further leads??
HA HA HA
Lynne and Terry Garlik's 'Bat' finally sold to London motor museum. Good start then went all to hell on the details (no gun doors, nose and front turbine all wrong, side mechanics a joke and interior all wrong, etc). They started with a good chassis and fibreglass 'kit' then it went all Pete Tong as the car neared completion. At least they bought the correct gas caps that I pointed them to.
Best bet if ya really are serious about owning a 'real' 89/92 is trying the folks at
www.chickslovethecar.com
(even if you dont want a screen accurate car). You'll find these boys know their onions....and are most helpfull too. Best Batmobile website ever. Tell DH the webmaster that I sent ya.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the info and the awesome pics, Mr. A! On top of this stuff as usual, I see.
Been 'stalking' the builders for around 6 years now! I have spoken to Terry Ackland-Snow (Art Director on Batman), John Evans and Andy Smith (SFX engineers responsible for the two 89's). Thanks to John for the group pic and Andy for the Tumbler pic.
