Duran Duran Batmobile

In the Duran Duran Showtime documentary, in the first 10 seconds Simon LeBon is driving his CSL batmobile. Super cool car for a super cool 80s band.

Wow, look likes I have a few pics of that car too, if the plates match up. An excellent specimen.

I drove the Modena Cento Ore rally this year in an Alfa. Simon LeBon was on the event in a Jaguar XK120. He was a friendly guy and a genuine gearhead. We had scores of middle aged women tracking the event and waiting for him to get autographs and hugs and kisses. It was pretty amusing.

Also know for some famous boats he owned. This boat called "Drum" lost it's keel practicing for the Whitbread Round the World race in 1985.
It was repaired and finished third in the race.

On the pic of the car most of the way into the transporter - should the the rear bumper (fiberglass I assume) be as distorted as it appears?

Charlie, you're right that rear bumper looks very wavy and warped.

Good catch.
