To showcase British technology in 1967, the UK government commissioned the transformation of seven RVs into theaters, and the one remaining vintage Mobile Cinema has finally been restored to its former glory.
Discovered discarded in a field, Nancy-Rose Mills and Rob Howell began its reconstruction in 2003; years later, with the help of many hands, the Bedford vintage Mobile Cinema looks and works better than it ever did, with an LCD projector, a Mordaunt sound system and a Blu-Ray player.
