red5 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Evening all, have spent some time on the road for the last couple of weeks in the day (unusual for me - I melt in direct sunlight) and wish to share some electronic images of vehicles I deemed worthy of recording said image. Yadda yadda.Shite caravan being towed by some old heap, couldn't see or overtake to get a pic as I was mostly in a FronterrorLooked old-ish, but H plate gives the game away.That mobile Cinema thing. Drive it !Not one, but two Mpi's. Feel the luuurve.Not a fan normally, but ...An Ace Ace. Quite fancy a old racer. Loads of dents/dings and patches on it. brickwall, mouseflakes, Junkman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexg Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 What's the deal with that ministry of technology thing? It looks fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankytim Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 What's the deal with that ministry of technology thing? It looks fantastic! It was on THE ONE show a few months ago (I think!) There ware a handful converted into mobile cinemas which travelled about showing public information films to factory workers. I think this is the only one left in existence.

seth Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Great cinema spot! Such a shame its not being driven. Perhaps they daren't risk it on long journeys as I guess if they're booked in somewhere a no show wouldn't be popular. Here's a couple of my shots from Goodwood Vintage last year.

Minimad5 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Great selection of pictures, thanks for taking the time out and uploading them Have to say that mobile cinema is real interesting, never even knew they existed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I saw the Mobile Cinema on the back of a lorry near Colchester in January, it's being exhibited all round the country at the moment. I think the vintage caravan in the first pic is owned by someone on the Old Classic Car forum, he's certainly in that area of the country. If it is him, the towcar is a Wolseley 1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael1703 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Wonder if theyve got a bit of sponsorship off the beeb for that cinema? Your average Joe couldnt afford to haul that around the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boobydoo Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Could you pop back to the Triumph owner and ask why he wanted to put black and white plates on a car that would never have had them in the first place and then went and ordered them in a font that didn't exist on b/w plates anyway. I'm confused. Also I take it the inhabitants of no 109 are averse to any form of gardening? scruff and mk2_craig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shedvan Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Isn't that Metro a car with blacked out windows rather than a Metro van? Looking at the window frames I reckon it is and I think early Metro vans before the face-lift were badged as Morris.

red5 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Entirely possible - although didn't look like blacked out windows from my vantage point, fairly sure (therefore probably wrong) they were body coloured. Will endeavor to have a closer look if spotted again. Esp with 'city' badging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedvan Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Just looking at the picture I think* I can make out a darker black outline on the rear window/panel, a Morris Metro/Van would be very cool indeed, I wonder how many are still about?
