    A BATMAN fanatic has forged a living building original 1966 BATMOBILE replicas. Mark Racop, 50, has been obsessed with the car since childhood and spent $250,000 researching and building moulds for the recreations. He and his team of ten staff at his shop, Fiberglass Freaks, work six days every week building the cars from the original television series. Mark said: “The 1966 Batmobile was very special to me because it was such an iconic design."

    I remember the batomobile coming to our local car dealership, KJ Motors in Orpington in the 60's. It was one of the fiberglass versions. The place was overwhelmed with kids. The organisers just didn't know what to do. I can remember them repeatedly calling over the PA "Children please keep off the batmobile". Needless to say no one took any notice. I just loved the car. Those perfect lines and colours are burnt into the mind of every kid of that era

In an entirely different way. Julie would have to rate as one of the top sex sirens in history! Meow meow 😻

Anyway, I build custom things too and tip my hat to the creators of this very nostalgic custom Batmobile! If I attain wealth I'll get one.
