If I had I don't think I'd admit to it.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

to find a chassis to bolt it to and hope that i,de get it mot,d for him mmm don,t think so he only wanted to use it"locally" and didn,t
think it had to be built to too high a spec !

I had one, probably in my Mum's loft somewhere I think, with all the other models we had as kids (except the really good ones which are in my
loft!).
Saw the real car in a showroom in Stockport when the film was first out. I thought it was in the cars the star museum in Keswick these days.

I think it was his son who had the car.
Wasn't Caracticus the nutty old Army Captain?
Sad ain't I?

Nah caracatus was the dancing inventor (got the video & my daughter used to like it) (OK I liked it as well - Heath Robinson himself is on the
credits)
Talking of car films, the Stimson Special (I think) in "monte carlo or bust" was a rebodied 427 cobra(!) - I believe they made a few for
the film but they were all made back into cobras.
