Canmobile

 Manufactured by Cointronics of Hastings, the Canmobile was a cleverly designed car/drink can hybrid, released in the mid-1990s.  It was sold in a variety of different colours/brands including Tango, Cola and Vimto.


Tango Canmobile - Blackpool Pleasure Beach, September 2014

I love how the Tango car plays Hernando's Hideaway (tango dance music) when in motion!  Sadly, I can't remember what music the other versions played.  They were such lovely quirky little rides which sadly don't appear to have been very long-lasting in their popularity.  I can remember them being seemingly everywhere in the summer of 1996, but not so much even by the following year.  A hidden gem in the history of coin operated rides.
