About a 10-12 yaers ago there used to be a Mk1 Granada that was made to look like this that drove about in Colchester at night, It sounded nuts but gave me the right creeps, I often wonder what happened to it.

the original cars were built by Barris for the film, there were a few iirc as some had a ram inside to flip them over.
seen a few replicas too, based on Mercedes, that Granada based one mentioned by trigger, and one based on a Lincoln (i think) as the original

I love this film and this car. Was based on a Lincoln. every car nut should see it. My old man remembers seeing a replica of it up at Santa pod years and years ago said it sounded awesome. If I won the lottery I'd have a replica made

Now I know I think I might go look for the film

When I get hold of another Hillman Imp bumper I'm doing a very similar thing to the front of the Polo, for great lols, and because it would be awesome. The Car is a fantastically terrible film and has all the right bits of cheese and violence and vroom in it.
