The car, from the first and second Batman films starring Michael Keaton, was exhibited in Sheffield for the first time – and some fans even got to sit behind the wheel of the iconic vehicle.

The popular event saw more than 500 vehicles on show – with cars from throughout the ages, including American vehicles, as well as motorbikes and buses on display.

Car clubs and individuals had brought their vehicles ranging from the 1920s to the 1970s to the festival.

Organisers were expecting around 10,000 visitors for the event.

Among those exhibiting was David Murray who was proud to show off his kit-car – a bright blue Westfield sports car which he bought a year ago.

The 48-year-old, from Handsworth, fulfilled a boyhood ambition in buying his car as it is the same make as one used in the cult TV series The Prisoner, which he watched as a teenager

"Having this car is an ambition come true," David said.

"I've wanted one since I was boy. I've been to the festival of transport before. It's always a good day out and you get to talk to people about something you're interested in."

If cars were valued in terms of affection then John and Patricia Trickett's 1972 Mark 1 Ford Escort would be worth its weight in gold.

The couple, both aged 60, from Swinton, bought their car new shortly after they married. Three years on they intended to trade it but couldn't get a decent price so held on it, regularly driving it for 10 years.

And after a decade they could not bear to part with the car and retired HGV driver John has since lovingly restored and repaired the vehicle so it remains in tip-top condition.

The couple now take it out in the summer for a spin and to car shows.

As many as one million Ford Escorts were produced in the 1970s but few of the Mark 1 versions now survive, said John.

And the care lavished on the car has not been in vain - they bought it for £840 fully insured and licensed and it is now worth about £3,000.

The couple have had offers but can't imagine parting with it. "We couldn't get rid of it, it means too much to us," said Patricia.

Other attractions included a wall of death, children's funfair and model trains, planes and automobiles.
