It’s a question that has no doubt troubled the minds of many a petrolhead/fan of comics-turned-movies: just how much can you buy an original Batmobile for on eBay?
Now that burning question has finally been resolved, and the answer is $370,100 (£231k). Well it is if your particular Batmobile of choice is the phallic Gothic beast from the Tim Burton-directed Batman films (Batmen?) of the late 80s and early 90s.
Sadly this car, which comes with full documentation, unfortunately doesn’t use a jet for motive power, having to rely instead on a 350cu in Chevy V8 that provides not much more than 200bhp.
But it does look great – and the winner of the online auction has also got a custom trailer thrown in. Holy practical transportation solutions, Batman! (As they might have said in the 1960s…)
