More Live A Drive-In Movie

The Vintage Mobile Cinema is one of seven "auto-theaters" that were commissioned by the UK's Ministry of Technology in the late 1960s. After more than a decade, one of the fleet was restored and outfitted with an all new theater system:

Onkyo TX-NR807 receiver
Pioneer BDP-320 Blu-ray player
Mordaunt Short Aviano 6 floorstander speakers
Mordaunt Short Alumni 9 subwoofer speaker
Mordaunt Short Alumni 5 center speaker
Mordaunt Short Alumni 3 surround speakers (x4)
Epson EH-TW3500 LCD projector

Patrons can watch the screenings, including lesser known films from it's original run as well as archival footage from the different cities to which the bus travels, on upholstered seats (which date back to the 1930s). The
bus holds 22, and it's hoped that independent filmmakers will screen their work onboard.
