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??

 

Ive never seen it matey. Sounds interesting though.

 

Not sure how long it was there but it was well cool! hopefully someone can remember and back me up so i dont sound like a bullshitter lol

 

I was there years ago.It must be at least 10 years ago and i cant remember it.

 

When i was younger i went to blackpool every year from the age of 1-14 lol my mum and dad must have been poor or greedy cos as soon as i move out they fucked off abroad on holidays and have at least 2 a year!

 

it was not there this November gone as I was there and did not see it

 

im talking about 19 years ago max!!

 

dont remember seeing this, nowt on google either that i can see

im not saying your full of shit!

Sounds lovely, just the sort of place to take a 10 year old for a day out .

 

Lol i searched google last night as well and couldnt find a thing! I might post up on the rsoc and see if i get any replies on there! someone's bound to have seen it!

 

It made me want to buy a cosworth once i seen how safe they looked after a crash lol

 

I remember the car in the wax works it was a white saff i think i might have a picture will try to find it out

 

Finally someones here to back me up lol yeah it was a white saph! Hopefully you have pictures because i havent seen it since i was a boy!

 

Used to be a green mini with a motorbike t boned in the side of it but that was 20+ how old am I lol

I remember it as well , was to put you of joyriding

 

I was too concerned trying to steal the cosworth badge off the boot lol

 

I remember seeing it just under 11 years ago as my mrs was pregnant with my boy. if I remember right it was through or on top of a wall ?? I said I'd love to see if engine was still in it lol!!!

 

Hopefully someone has pics! would be great to see it again!

+1 mate!

 

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 remember seeing it, if I remember it still had the engine in too as you could just about see in it

 

Just a thought but why don't you contact them and see if they have a photo of it?

 

I'm curios, I wanna see it!

 

Yep I remember it ! Remember thinking i want that car , even in that state.

 

Some one call them up, lol

 

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!

 

I'd like to see a pic now

 

Any more info on this?

 

my dad remembers this also!, pitty no pics! would be good to see!...

 

I remember this too , was in the horror bit of the wax works think it was titled joyriders or something like that

 

Anybody got any updates or pics??

 

i remember seeing that as well,but no pics im afraid

 

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"
