& I passed,as it was chugging up by junction 8 M1, this pm, a fully,liveried & (naughty, naughty) light bar with uncovered beacons, SWAT wagon, from Gotham City police Department!All with US style registration plates.UK trade plates, must have been there somewhere, but not on show.
On the transporter in front, was another American car, but civy spec.Nine Nine cars, was the name of the film company on the side.
Another Batman movie in the pipeline, then?

Nine Nine Cars basically build and prep specialist vehicles for film work and do vehicle stunt work - apparently they have a huge warehouse where they store stuff until they get a call and can say "actually, I have one of those". A friend bought an NYPD cruiser from them that had been built for "Daylight".
I've just done a search and there is "Batman Begins" (no. 5) filming at Shepperton, Essex and London area at the moment, so I guess you got a sneak preview :-)
Looking at their website (www.nineninecars.com) they have a "septic" ambulance, and painted black these make excellent SWAT trucks.
