I've not driven one, but the owner (Ted Marlow himself) took me out in his original car some 13 years ago, Red, J plate 470hp?
Seemed to take only a few seconds to get to 130mph on a short country road.
The funny thing was it only had 4 gears. 2nd gear was good for 120mph!
It looked ugly in some views and awesome in others.
It had 3mm ali plate between me and the 7500rpm revving V8 (10inches from my head).
Insane cars, a much better buy and performance than a super tourer, how about a turbo radical?
The other thing i remember about the original demonstrator car was i couldn't depress the clutch pedal, at all
