I saw an episode of "Rides" on the Discovery Channel about this car, Jay Leno took it to a car show someware and showed it off. I personaly don't like it myself.

Nope. Its a bit hard to get, and one of the cars I'd like to get after a few others in GT4.

But its cool car. Jay Leno has done some fantastic looking cars.

Neat car!

If you hadn't seen it, to share here's another Merlin-engined beastie (1,650cid, DOHC 4 valve, twin-supercharged) it's *very loosely* based on a Chevrolet. Apparently the american comedian and late night talk show host jay leno wanted to buy that one also

Saw it a couple of years ago it's awesome. Love the way the bonnet bulge extends through the windscreen. 4 radiators hold 95 litres with 8 thermo fans, 3 water pumps. Oil capacity is 100 litres, 3 fuel tanks etc. Tailshaft is 8" long. Vehicle weight is 3.5 tonnes, manual transmission and yes it's fully legal, street-registered
