A used 2002 Toyota MR2 is worth about $8,000, but there’s one in England that’ll cost you closer to $150,000. That’s because it’s been turned into a tribute to Christian Bale-era Batman’s “Tumbler.”It was built by a movie car hire company called Character Cars, and is a head-turner, even if it’s much smaller than the real deal Batmobile. Beyond the bodywork, the vehicle has been heavily modified with new suspensions and a dually rear end that uses the wheels and tires from a military truck. The engine has also been swapped for a tuned 2.0-liter motor with 400 hp and it’s equipped with a faux-flame-throwing exhaust. The custom car will be auctioned alongside a number of conventional ones at the Historics Auctioneers event on March 2 at the Ascot Racecourse.
