Double Batpack auction: Holy hammer!

The 'Batman' TV classic! Those were the days. Adam West in his grey suit as Batman, "Kapow, Wham! Boff!" bubbles all over the TV screen and cool vehicles like the Batmobile. A replica of the one and only Batmobile from the Sixties cult series came under the hammer during the auctioneer Coys' sale at Autosport International.

Just like the original, the replica was built upon the body of a '79 Lincoln Continental. Part of the package was also Robin's Batbike: not the odd two-wheel construction from the TV series, but a modified Yamaha YDS-3 dating from 1968. The dynamic duo was expected to change hands for between £35,000 and £45,000. A year ago, the original Batmobile from the TV series changed owners during a Coys auction for £119,000. Would the The Joker have smiled?
