I was chatting to a friend who mentioned He had seen a Morris Minor called Rock Lobster that looked like a Lobster!! He said it was built for a kids T.V program and he saw it on the road, fully working some years ago. Anyone heard of this or got any pics?

The car was owned by Phil Vincent, the boss of Henric the panel making company in Nottingham for many years and they used it for promotional purposes, such as on their stand at the National. When he sold the business to Hadrian Motor Panels I understand the car was included and the last time i heard of it, it was at their premises in Hexham. Don't think they really knew what to do with it really!
When Phil had it I remember him saying they'd been told to take the claws off when driving it a public road...
