The replica will join a prestige auction portfolio of more traditional classic motor cars. The Batmobile, a replica of the model used in the 1960s TV show, has been owned by historic car investor Mark Perkins since it was made in 1988.
The replica Batmobile is based on a Lincoln Continental chassis and is one of three steel-bodied versions in existence. It features a dashboard-mounted TV, rear parachute pod and Batphone.
"Classic cars, and this one in particular, should be driven to be enjoyed, and I've loved taking it on the road over the years," Perkins says. "However, my work with Historics at Brooklands will leave me little time to do so in the future, and so sadly it's time someone else derived pleasure of ownership."
The original Batmobile built for the 1966-1968 TV show was a customised Lincoln Futura show car that cost about $30,000 to build. It is still owned by its makers Barris Customs in Hollywood, where it is on display. It is estimated to be worth more than $2 million.
