A couple from Norwich have devised a new way to keep car thieves at bay \u2013 by driving around with a life-sized Cliff Richard mannequin in the back of their car.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">David Stolworthy created his life-size replica of the pop star using a waxwork of Cliff Richard&#8217;s head that he found at a car boot sale in 2012. He then crafted the body himself out of a cushion and some MDF.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To make the honorary security guard look more &#8216;lifelike,&#8217; the couple dresses the doll up in a Norwich City football scarf and one of David&#8217;s old navy blue blazers. The &#8216;Sir Cliff&#8217; mannequin also sports a pair of aviators while he sits in the back of Jill&#8217;s Peugeot 206.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valentinosdisplays.com\/mannequins-and-tailors-dummy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mannequin<\/a> was created especially for David&#8217;s wife, Jill Stolworthy, to make her feel safer when driving at night so it looks like a male passenger is always accompanying her. The dummy accompanies Jill to the shops and friends&#8217; houses and joins the couple on their continental summer holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you fancy driving around with your own honorary security guard in the car, check out our range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valentinosdisplays.com\/flexible-mannequins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flexible mannequins<\/a> and stands!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-norfolk-29458666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2290 size-full alignleft\" title=\"Sir Cliff Richard Mannequin Doll Used An Honorary Security Guard\" src=\"https:\/\/www.valentinosdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Sir_Cliff_Richard_Doll.jpg\" alt=\"Sir Cliff Richard Mannequin Doll Used As Honorary Security Guard\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.valentinosdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Sir_Cliff_Richard_Doll.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.valentinosdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Sir_Cliff_Richard_Doll-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.valentinosdisplays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Sir_Cliff_Richard_Doll-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He might have sung about a &#8216;living doll&#8217;, but one super-fan has created her own &#8216;Sir Cliff&#8217; living doll.
