Flatmobile, The World's Lowest Car

"I've been building unusual cars for 25 years or so, so its my hobby, I enjoy doing it. The car is based on comic-book hero Batman's Batmobile. The original car (a Hillman Imp) has been cut down by 30in in the body, the suspension has been lowered by 9in and the roofs been removed so its left us with a total height of 19in at the highest point. The Batmobile had a jet engine so I thought 'great, lets stick a jet engine in' and built a jet engine and put that in the back as well. Cost I don't count because I get upset and depressed if I count - it's the wrong side of £10,000 anyway," Mr Watkins said.
