Jet Hawk

Manufactured by Whittaker Brothers of Oldham, I believe this car was released in the late 1980s.  Although not an official licensed character ride, it's hard not to notice the resemblance to the Batmobile.


1990s Whittaker Brothers Leaflet

"A real eye-catching ride with three different push button sounds and superb front and rear rotating lights." - 1980s Whittaker Brothers leaflet

According to the same 1980s Whittaker Brothers leaflet mentioned above, the ride measured 59" x 26" x 40" and weighed 165lbs.  A slightly later leaflet gives its length at 62" and weight at 176lbs though!  I'm not sure what caused the increase in its size!
