That's what I thought. I'm no expert.

are you kidding me? that thing is an absolute pig to drive. Even with a few mods, it understeers like well poop to avoid more harsh words. It just looks nice:) Plus the braking on there is awful. :o

No, sorry Craig. I like the vintage stuff & was saving memory for the aircraft.

Fantastic. :D How about this?

The Napier-Railton is a tad faster than that. ::)
http://www.surreymuseums.free-online.co.uk/shaz/railton.html
The magnificent vehicle, with its immensely strong girder construction, powered by a 12 cylinder Napier Lion aero-engine, won fame not only as the fastest car at Brooklands but twice took for Britain the 24 hour record in 1935 and 1936 (150.16mph).

The Brooklands Outer Circuit lap record of 143.44mph taken in 1935 by the Napier Railton was never beaten.
