Yep! I know it's not strictly a car, indeed, not even remotely like one! lol! but I thought, better to post here, than in the Commercial Section.

This was in the local town a few nights ago, apparently it was making an East Anglia tour, no doubt funded by some esoteric Art Council bit of funding

Anyway, as I usually say "saw this and thought of you" - Enjoy!

Doesn't matter because it's one of yesterday's heroes. I think Melvin Bragg used it in his series The Reel History of Britain a month or two ago. A fascinating vehicle by all accounts, it's a shame we won't be seeing her at any car shows for a long time to come.

Edit - I was clearly mistaken about not seeing her at shows. Good.

I watched 'If it's Tuesday, this must be Belgium' in that at the original VINTAGE festival when it was on the Goodwood Estate!

Great bit of fun...

Fantastic vehicle.

It was at the NEC last November for the Classic show there, love it!

Saw the Melvin Bragg series. May have been repeated recently but was originally shown some time ago.
Still interesting for all that.

Reel History of Britain was first broadcast in Autumn 2011 and is currently being repeated on BBC2 on Saturday mornings. The mobile cinema made an earlier TV appearance but I can't remember what in. I know I recognised it when I saw it at the Goodwood Revival in 2010.
