Original Batmobile to be auctioned in London

A 1960s Batmobile created to promote the original Batman TV show is to be auctioned later this month.

The superhero's car goes under the hammer at Coys Spring Classics auction on February 27.



It is unknown how many 'Batmobiles' were built, but the car on offer is understood to be the 6th produced and built by Jay Orhrberg of Jay Orhrberg Star Cars in Hollywood, California.

Jay Orhrberg is one of the finest movie car builders, and his more recent body of work includes the 'Back to the Future' Delorean and the famous 1970's Pink Panther's car, Knight Riders KITT, as well as the other Batmobiles, the Batboat and numerous other Batman film vehicles.

Not all of the Batmobiles were fully functioning, but this example was built as a fully working vehicle.
