Pink Panther Car

[RedSpider]

The original Pink Panther car is set to fetch up to ?100,000 at auction next month.

The unique vehicle featured in the title credits of the hit children's TV series from 1969 to 1976.

The car was the brainchild of prolific Hollywood vehicle designer Jay Ohrberg, who also made the DeLorean from Back to the Future and KITT from Knight Rider, as well as several Batmobiles.



This bright pink model - the 'Panthermobile' - appeared in the opening and closing sequences of The Pink Panther Show, which was inspired by the films starring Peter Sellers as bungling Inspector Clouseau.

Mr Ohrberg himself owned the car until he sold it for ?88,000 at auction in 2007.
Auctioneer Jonathan Kay said: 'The vehicle is in totally original condition, and would benefit from some sympathetic restoration as the car is now 42 years old.




'The engine is not currently running, but it was believed to be working when the vehicle was sold in 2007.'

The Panthermobile is being sold in an online auction run by Manchester-based firm Robson Kay.

It is expected to fetch between ?50,000 and ?100,000.

SUMMARY:-

Pay up and take your dead pile of pink crap away.

Well if it's made in the 1960's in Emerica, chances are it will be really rough where you can see things, engine, will need to come out for a new set of points, but to get the engine out, you can bet your bottom dollar that Hank fiber glassed it all in.


BBesides. how d you insure it on Inglish roads. Tx exempt, but no lights - brake lights for a start?
