Well thanks to lots of hard work from my friends and some assistance from forum members, I managed to debut my car at our local show.
Well it recieved a better welcome than I asked for.
However I now realise I need to do a story board on what it is and where they come from !!
I don't have any pics but ......

If it's anything like American movie cars, there are dozens of people who claim to own "the original car from (insert movie tile here)".

A museum in the UK claims to own "the" Mad Max Interceptor car: http://www.carsofthestars.com/, although I understand a second car was used for interior shots.

Here's a shot of the "original" car. Notice the substantially different front end.

The car pictured above is not an original, It is a car that has been doing the local shows over the last 2 years.
A friend of mine is a crazy Mad Max fan and has allthe details of the cars, and we also are building a MFP replica.
I personally have been to all the location of where Mad Max 1 was filmed, and a few of where Mad Max II were filmed.
To prove my point you can see the rego label in the windscreen which is a victorian rego.
If you want more details on the cars let me know.

Perhaps I am thinking of a different car in the video? I don't know when/where that photo I posted was taken and accept your authority that it isn't the "real" car (either?). I should not have referred to it as "the original car" but to me it looked closer to the one I remember in the movie than the one at the car show. I appreciate any insight you can provide on why there is such a huge difference in them.

Still doesn't change the fact that your car looked awesome there!

that isn't the original car mel gibson drove, iirc, it is the one the bad guys drove up to the gate in road warrior, then the guys got flamed. all i know is that i remember the twin turbo set up and duals, but no, not one mel gibson drove.
i have the mad max trilogy, and will watch again to put my own questions to rest, lol.

btw-your car looks great!
