The time is July 1987, the place Blaxland Road and the
Batmobile, the original vintage car
from the 1960’s Batman TV show sits being serviced at a Campbelltown smash
repairs shop.
Having been damaged in transit from Hollywood the car is due
to tour the nation’s shopping centres but needs urgent attention to its
interior, bodywork and electrical system.
Holy hub caps Batman! Who could carry out such work? Various businesses
along Blaxland Road are called into service.
A ‘spokesman’ for one business said there was Twenty-five
hours of work which needed doing in two.
Six metres long, weighing two tonnes and powered by a V8
engine there is no word about whether any work was done to the Bat-ram, Bat-ray or Bat-phone.
