This 1967 Bedford SB3 mobile cinema is the only remaining of seven commissioned by the UK Ministry of Technology. Fully restored between 2005 and 2010, it’s spent the last five years being used as a touring movie theater, just as originally intended. Restoration work looks to have been of a good quality, and though now fitted with HD video and sound, a correct and working Bell and Howell projector is also housed in the glass dome/projectionist booth seen on top of the cab. Find it here on eBay.co.uk in Salisbury, England for 120k GBP (~$181,900 today).

This period shot shows either this truck or one of its six stablemates with matching trailer. Sale includes this particular example’s original trailer, however it remains unrestored and will need work.

Custom work including fitment of the Plaxton Panorama cab and custom swing-open passenger door (in place of the truck’s standard sliding steel item) was handled by Coventry Steel Caravans. Despite their name, bodywork is made of extruded aluminum panels and said to be both very strong and well-built.

Here’s a shot of the included, working and correct but non-original Bell and Howell 16mm projector. Full HD video and 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound has been fitted as well.

The theater itself looks surprisingly spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. Perfect for trackside screenings of Grand Prix, we’re not sure what else it’s good for but are nonetheless glad that at least one has survived.
