It appeared in the iconic Batman television series, and now its replica is looking for a new owner. An exclusive copy of the 1966 Batmobile , built on a 1973 Lincoln Continental and used by Adam West solely for promotional events, is up for auction on Catawiki for an estimated price of €80,000.
While the original model is housed in the Hollywood Star Cars Museum in Tennessee, this vehicle, faithful to the design that defined an era on the small screen, includes details such as leather seats and an exterior aesthetic inspired by the original Batmobile. Its history is linked to numerous international exhibitions , from its time at the London Motor Museum to its current location in Italy, near Florence.

According to Catawiki classic car expert Franco Vigorito, this is one of the few European replicas with a direct link to the golden age of the series, making it a highly valuable item for collectors of historic cars.
Mechanically, this collector's item retains its original 7.5-liter V8 engine and three-speed automatic transmission , with a solid body and only minor surface rust. The interior is well preserved, and the included British documentation attests to its history and authenticity, reinforcing its market appeal.
Bidding for this Batmobile will remain open on Catawiki until August 24th, and as of today, it's already at €15,000 . For those who dream of adding a 1960s television icon to their garage, this is a rare opportunity to own a car that, more than just a means of transportation, is a piece of entertainment and popular culture history.
