The madest was the one that looked a bit like the Batmobile out of the Batman Returns film.

Interesting. Is that car that looked a bit like the Batmobile in between these: http://www.supercars.net/gallery/129612/976/2.html ? Or did it really look alot more like the batmobile than for instance the Silverstone?
Members of the Royal Family financierd the Batman movies. There is also a UK build Mercedes-Benz R129 based Batmobile in Brunei. Unfortunetaly I haven't seen pictures of it, but it is supposed to be a bit ugly :p

I really hope my memory isn't playing tricks on me but I remember it with a bonnet(hood) twice as long as any of those, and not flat, but cylindrical-ish like that batmobile. I also recall mad fins and all sorts of stuff that made it look closer to the batmobile than any of those.

Thats interesting about financing the batman films - i didn't know that. I wonder if their invovled in the new one they've been making in and arround london this year.

Incidentally - the Java Coupe was *very* like the Rapier P5 I see there.

I recall one 2 door car with a retractable hardtop. Remember this was 10 yerars ago !!
