'Batmobile' available to buy for $620,000 on eBay - PHOTOS

Ever fancied owning your own bat car? Well, your wish may be about to come true if you've got $620,000 (£383,000) to spare.

Casey Putsch of Putsch Racing in Ohio builds, restores and prepares racing cars for a living. He is now offering a custom-designed vehicle described as "the world's only turbine-powered bat car" on eBay.

The description says that the one-off item is street registered in the United States, has a "perfect reliability record" and is "ready to be enjoyed by an enthusiast".

The Hollywood Reporter notes that it is a replica of the Batmobile driven by Michael Keaton in the 1989 Batman movie. It can run on petrol, diesel or jet fuel and even includes a centrally-mounted, 3G-enabled iPad.

Built in five months, the Batmobile has 1,989 miles (3,200 km) on the clock and the sale - which closes on September 5 - is open to buyers worldwide.

It's not the first unusual vehicle that's been auctioned this year, either - the British Ministry of Defence listed decommissioned aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal on its own auction site Edisposals in March.
