If you see an unusual looking car driving around the Tendring area - don't worry.
Killer car - Ray Bloomfield and the replica car he built to resemble the killer car in the 1977 film The Car. Picture: STEVE ARGENT 41026-1
It will probably be car enthusiast and electrician Ray Bloomfield behind the wheel.
His favourite horror film is the 1977 classic The Car, in which a car drives around running people off the road.
He said: "I saw it when I was a teenager. Then I saw it when it was repeated on TV and my brother Nigel and I decided to build a replica of it."
Mr Bloomfield, of D'arcy Road, St Osyth, said: "I did it because it hadn't been done and I like to do things a bit different."
Mr Bloomfield built panels around a Mercedes to look like the car in the movie.
