Ebay The ORIGINAL PINK PANTHER SHOW CAR


Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. What you see here is the "one and only truly original" Pink Panther car that featured in the credits of the 1960s cartoon... as driven by a small child and the aforementioned feline.
The seller is based in Scotland, but it was created by Hollywood builder Jay Ohrberg. With it being a cartoon car, it's not your usual vehicle. For a start, it's 23ft long, 6ft wide and is powered by a 7 litre engine, with front wheel drive. Mileage is low (a meagre 10 miles on the engine) but that's probably due to UK road regulations... it hasn't got any lights for a start. And if you want to show it off, you get written permission to stick the car on display from MGM. The starting bid is £75,000 - a bit steep for a pink car you can't legally drive. Still, you want it don't you?
