Released by Amutec in 1994, the Aubrey Photo Car was the very first ride to offer a photographic souvenir for the rider to take home with them.
The Noddy-style car is yellow and blue with white headlight "eyes", a red nose and a smiling mouth. The fibreglass passenger, Aubrey, is a blue and pink mouse wearing a red t-shirt and hat.
Later versions of the car were made with different characters in place of Aubrey, including a crocodile or Father Christmas.
Father Christmas Version - 2001 Amutec Flyer
Crocodile Version - 2001 Amutec Flyer
A regular version of the ride was also available without the photography feature.

As of the 2001 Amutec catalogue, the photo ride cost £5,945.00, while the regular version would set you back just £2,495.00.
