Anybody know how many Batman Tumblers currently exist? Movie cars and replicas. Where are they located:Countries, states, cities ? Who made them? vertigo

Here are the ones I know of. Anybody know of anymore?

EXISTING BATMAN TUMBLERS

Christopher Nolan’s Movie Tumblers

A total of four full-sized Tumbler vehicles were built for the production of the film. Two full-sized driving versions were used in exterior shots while another full-sized model with hydraulic enhancements was used in jump sequences. A fourth full-sized, functional version carried propane tanks to fuel the rocket blast out of the rear nozzle.

Where are they now?  

Replica Tumblers

Bob Dullam’s Tumbler resides in Michigan and is considered by many to be the most accurate replica.

Big Wave Dave’s Rumbler Tumbler is unique in that it is a four seat Tumbler and is located in California.

Grant Hodgson’s Tumbler was constructed in Australia and is considered by many as the most powerful with its 454 nitrous oxide injectors. It appears to have been sold to a Japanese businessman and to reside in a museum in Japan.

The Team Gulag Tumbler built by Parker Brothers is a street legal modified vehicle that was used to compete in the International Gumball Rally in 2013. Current location is unknown.

Marc Irvin’s Tribute Tumbler resides in California. It is mechanically finished and the body is currently under construction with completion expected by the end of 2014.

TOTAL VERIFIED:  9

Estimates on the internet for completed Tumblers worldwide range from 10-57. Anybody know of any others?

A friend brought me a listing he got off United Kingdom EBay. Listing number 230794951888 seller yvaud_cavros. It shows a full sized Tumbler with left hand steering claiming manufacture in the USA and interior, upholstry, and carbon fiber panels completed in the UK. The vehicle sold on Ebay 31-MAY-2012. It sold for a million or more and one source states it was bought by an executive from a food services company in Pennsylvania. Anyone know anything else. vertigo 

Thanks for the info. Any of the 7 you made a list of not already on my list.

Looks like they modified original Tumblers. During an interview with Shortlist.com special effects supervisor Chris Corbound said during the interview:

“We made four Tumblers so we could handle the extreme schedule. All four are in The Dark Knight Rises. In the first film we had the luxury of four cars pretending to be one. In the third film, Chris got all the toys out of the box – so not only do we have the four Tumblers, but they’ve been turned into four different cars, all with different armaments, so it’s even more important that they perform well because we didn’t have any back-up for them. Tumblers are in this film an awful lot. They’re a main part of it on many occasions. Have they been taken over by Bane? Well, partly, but I’m not allowed to talk about that.”  vertigo
