File Under: What Were They Thinking......
Heeeey Rat fans!
Spotted this while out and about in the fine county of Pembrokeshire. No sign of Kevin and Errol, unfortunately...
Bought from Ebay for £1295 a few years ago.

I wouldn't have thought it's the real thing. But then, as you say, why would anybody do this to another?......

Re: File Under: What Were They Thinking......
That was on the Bay of E a few months back....
It said in the add that they were unsure if it was the actual Ratmobile......
Love 100E's but that is an abomination even if Roland Rat was part of my childhood viewing ......
I'd rather drive Del Boy'd Regal........

I'd be inclined to give the seller the benefit of the doubt.......that's if the genuine car didn't look completely different from this one.timfromull wrote:It said in the add that they were unsure if it was the actual Ratmobile......

That's definitely the one I saw. I have to say, at that asking price the seller must be away with the fairies though!
