Default The crashed saph from blackpool waxworks?

Dont know why but ive just thought of a time i went to the waxworks in blackpool and dowstairs in the horror section they had a crash scene with a white saph cosworth with people dead and hanging out of it! can anyone remember this and better still does anyone have a pic? i could have only been about 10 and im 29 now so it was quite a while ago! I remember it had the lattice wheels and i remember staring at the cosworth badge on the boot! Bit random i know lol but im just curious??

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I just found this thread while searching for a photo of the same waxwork that the OP was looking for.

Just came to say, I remember it too, it was defiantly a white car. It was parked on a small ramp, so the front was tilted upwards. The windows were smashed, there was a waxwork of a woman in the drivers seat. There was red graffiti on the walls behind the car, pretty sure there was an anarchy symbol (circled letter A) painted on the wall. And come to think of it im pretty sure there were some shopping bags with groceries spilling out on the floor. There was also a music track playing over some speakers, I think a female vocalist, though I don't have much memory of that.

No luck finding a photo yet, but I vividly remember it. Must have been in the late 90's. 1997 or 1998 when I saw it last. I've been there a few times over the years and that is the only time I have ever seen it - it has long gone.

** I just remembered something else. There was also the sound effect of police/ambulance sirens.

I used to work there, I removed it around 10 years ago. It was stripped and cut into 3 to get it out of the door as the attraction was built around it when it was first put in.
It was a genuine saph cossie but the engine box and diff had been removed.
There was little on it worth saving, I think I kept the steering wheel & clocks and maybe the front bumper!

No way! I found something with regards to
that crash scene at Blackpool. I was only 5 years old when I saw it. I can remember looking at it and it scared the s**t out of me, think it even made me cry a little lol

From what I can remember there was a pushchair under it. the hazard lights were flashing on the car and also the song playing in the background was Annie Lennox - love song for a vampire.

I was as old as a sperm lol and I can remember it so clearly that shows you how terrifying I thought it was.

I remember the summer drink drive advert on tv with a mk3 cavalier crashed with the family half hanging out the windows, that made me feel like that as well. It was playing that song "in the summer time"
