It’s so foxy - I think I need some cotton candy to cool down.

From the auction:

Welcome to a truly unique item for sale! This is the 1 and only - truly original! - PINK PANTHER car from the cartoon show which featured on our tv screens from the late 1960’s. This superb piece of craftsmanship from respected Hollywood builder Jay Ohrberg is absolutely fantastic, and is a real crowd puller wherever it appears.

Used as a static display (or can be towed on a low loader) at a large number of events in the UK, it can certainly generate crowds if you want to bring a certain amount of pulling power to your event, whether it be a shopping centre promotion, motor show attraction or even to sit in a car showroom as an attraction on it’s own as a talking point that is sure to bring customers in. The ‘limo’ iself is 23 ft long, 6 ft wide and is powered by a 7 litre engine! Front wheel drive, it has not been fully started up for sometime, but the engine is in VERY good condition (has done LESS THAN 10 miles as the engine was supplied brand new from the factory, but has been turned over a number of times although not actually driven)and the brakes would need attention(master cylinder). Various regulations would have to be met with regards to driving it on the UK roads as there are no lights etc. This famous car is a ‘ 1 off ‘. There is no other so that makes it very special. It can be used to help generate income by being hired out as a display at malls, motor shows, carnivals, children’s events, memoribilia fairs etc.

These are the kind of events that this fantastic car has been part of in the past. If you want to supplement your income a bit more, charging for photographs of children (or even adults) sitting in the car is also an attractive option. If the car were to be sold to someone in the UK,and the successful buyer would be in agreement, I would be happy to help them promote the car at any future events of which they would receive income from. The car itself would be re-upholstered inside - it is like a huge bed in the back - with new cushions, re-covered driver’s seat and new carpet in the front, prior to being sold. The winning bidder would receive confirmation of being allowed to show the car with the permission of MGM (I have copyright permission at the moment) should they wish to do so.

As far as vat and duty is concerned regarding the car, depending on the final amount - should the car be sold - this MAY be included in the price. This is surely a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of TV history that still appeals to children and adults alike after almost 40 years. Anyone genuinely interested in having more images sent, please contact me. The reason for the sale of this rather special car is due to other projects that require funding. Payment of the vehicle will be open to negotiation with a non returnable deposit of £500 being paid WITHIN 3 DAYS of the auction ending. Happy bidding and good luck!
