Indiana Jones Convertible Luxury Car
Ever wanted to be famous and drive around like a movie star in your own limousine? Did you ever want to own your own Bat-Mobile? As you grew older, doubtless to say that, your taste in movies and cars changed; or maybe they haven’t changed that much. If the latest Indiana Jones flick has whetted your appetite for transcontinental archaeological adventures, rather than merely making you feel a bit sorry for aging film stars, here is your chance to purchase your dream ride.
Remember that desert chase scene, with the Nazis and the truck? The actual car that featured in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is up for sale on eBay for a mighty $2.5 million. Yes, can’t argue it's a lot of cash, but the US dollar is down at the moment, so be quick, if you really want it.
The origin of the Mercedes-style convertible is an interesting story itself. It was created in 1980 by a Coventry car builder from a Jag Mk9 chassis and Mk5 body for use in the Raiders chase scenes, and was driven from England to Tunisia in time for the start of the movie. Fitted with a 285bhp DOHC engine, it'll reach 60mph in a Fuhrer-baiting 6.8 seconds. Best of all, the car still has all of its authentic 'period details' - dents down the passenger-side bodywork from impacting the truck in the chase scene, and even the cigarette that the Bad Nazi stubs out in the rear ashtray.
However, whether you can afford to spend an extravagant amount of money on an ex movie star vehicle, the reality is that you don’t have to. At HireLimos we can find a ‘famous’ hire limo that will match practically any fancy that you may have. Whether you’re after an Indiana Jones look-alike or something to suit your own individual film fantasy, HireLimos is sure to find the car for you, the best part of it is, it won’t cost you $2.5 million!
