Vintage Mobile Cinema

Vintage Mobile Cinema is a fully restored mobile movie theater, the last surviving unit of the original seven converted vehicles created by the UK government in the late 1960s to help promote British industry.

The Ministry of Technology built seven of these custom mobile cinema units in the late 1960s, to tour the country, promoting modern production techniques to British industry. The seven Bedfords were operated by PERA, or the Production Engineering Research Association. Films would be played within the cinema, with supporting displays shown in the trailer that accompanied the towing unit as they toured the nation’s factories.
