Speaking of movie cars... I was just thinking (ouch)...  surely the modern
Batmobile qualifies as an LBC?   Sure it was made up of 'Merkin Steel, but
the basic car was pulled off a junk pile in Britain, if I remember correctly
and modified in Britain.  Come to think of it, its a pretty neat convertible!
(I love the way it puts its own "hood" up!)

And hey, speaking of mulitple renditions of a movie car --- I wonder how
many of the original Batmobiles were made?   I've seen the original and
I was kinda hoping it was the _only_ one!

Yeah, and those nasty Mafia types in "The Italian Job" too (sniffle).
