The Reliant Regal three-wheeler used in the hit TV comedy Only Fools and Horses emblazoned with the sign Trotters Independent Trading Co, was sold at Coys of Kensington, London (UK) specialist car auction for £44,227 – more than double its original estimate. Also under the hammer was a 1960s Batmobile which sold for almost £120,000. The vehicle, which had been estimated at £75,000, attracted overseas telephone bids but eventually sold to a bidder at the auction. It was built in 1966 to tour the USA, promoting the TV series starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as his sidekick, Robin. ‘
