Ford Crown Victoria 2005 Gotham Police car P71<br />
Approximately 136k miles- this will increase as in show and prom season<br />
A 100% accurate replica of the car from Batman Dark Knight Rises, even down to the partition, pushbar, lightbar, colour and siren.<br />
Drives amazingly with no known faults. It has been maintained regardless of cost and A1 mechanically- it is registered as a private hire vehicle with Braintree District Council, number 725, so subject to the same bi-annual tests as other taxis (Hackney Carriages etc).<br />
<br />
Originally a Massachusetts police car from 2005 to 2008, then Rhode Island police from 2009 to 2017 and privately owned from 2 years before being imported to the UK last year. The MOT history does not record M31 COP as it was tested on its VIN number prior to being registered but it WILL BE SOLD WITH 12 MONTH"S MOT.<br />
<br />
I have the CarFax report and receipts of servicing done here (undersealing, transmission and torque converter flushed with correct Mercon V fluid). We have also replaced the power steering pump. No other maintenance has been required. Does not use oil or water.<br />
Only points to note are the lighting control module (LCM) was replaced in April 2014 and steering shaft replaced around the same time.<br />
<br />
Lightbar and Federal Signal Touchmaster siren work perfectly, as does the PA system. There are headlight flashers but apart from those and the lightbar, there are no other lights, exactly as per film specs. More of course can be added. The lightbar has flashing blue/red/takedown/alley lights. Obviously these cannot be used on the public roads! The siren speaker is a 100w Whelen and is incredibly loud! There"s a volt meter fitted<br />
<br />
A touch-up pot of the paint will be supplied it"s a one-off colour and the painter"s number will also be supplied in case the buyer needs to contact them.<br />
<br />
Rear window bars and partition are fitted. These are easily removed for private hire use (one of the clauses of this use). A 2 litre foam fire extinguisher is provided.<br />
<br />
Cruise control is fitted and works perfectly, as does the AC. Bluetooth Sony stereo is fitted, with premium speakers. The original radio will also be supplied and can easily be re-instated as no wires were cut. Parking sensors are also fitted. There"s an alloy spacesaver spare wheel with jack.<br />
<br />
Negatives...there"s a small dent in the AC radiator but we believe it"s been there since May 2006 from the CarFax report. It doesn"t leak and only mentioned for completeness. The searchlight does work but needs cosmetic tidying.<br />
<br />
Finally, the car does come with the M31 COP registration plate and the Gotham shirt with patches and badge is included.<br />
<br />
The car is ready to go for show season and to earn money for proms, birthday parties, weddings etc. There are absolutely no problems with this car, it"s fully equipped unlike others on the market. We had over 15 enquiries for proms this year with this car so it will be a great business investment.<br />
