    Amazing car and website, thanks for posting and it still shifts well doesn't it.
    You'd need big kahoonas to drive that thing like that though wouldn't you. Amazing that you can see all the business end.

    Not bad!

    Lovely to watch that go. Would have been nice to see a picture of the original crank as well

    Cheers

    '...all cornering is conducted sideways because of the solid rear axle, drifting beautifully...'

    These pics gave me goosebumps! That V8 is sooooo wonderful. I think this article reshuffled my all time top 10 of beautiful cars! (DB5 still #1)
    Thanks for sharing this.

    A proper old school rat rod. Love to see a picture of the original crank as well.

    Love the single headlight, and the old patina, wearing its battle scars with pride.

    It’s what we do so well.

    Fantastic is the right word for that car!

    I've seen this competing a couple of times and it's amazing and driven skilfully but with complete abandon. Anyone who is mildly curious should get themselves to a VSCC speed hill climb and see this and others, better in my opinion than any F1 race.
