so how did they connect the driveshafts?
I can understand not needing an exhaust or water pipes connected but would need fuel and thats not a quick release fitting. gear linkage (unless the gearbox was left in 1st gear), still need a clutch cable

Fuel lines would have been changed for push fit etc, gearbox would have been in first, clutch cable made quick release etc.
Still awesome bit of teamwork though

Exhaust was probably loose fit oversized pipe, no fuel pipe you'd get that distance on a carb full of fuel, starter and earth cables must be quick release connectors, H.T king lead push fit, no nuts on the engine mounts, only leaves the throttle and clutch cables

I'd like to see them do it with a standard engine.

Id say standard on a mk3 escort these days involves at least a dozen rounded off nuts and a set of helicoils

Who Says that engine that went in and out is even a working engine.Maybe it is a rwd converted car so engine is in the rear as seen many times before. Just rear seat passengers get a warm bum on long journey

Is it me or has the video been altered 
Watch the last few seconds of the video again where they pull away and when they stop at the other end, the car stops and if you look closely its stops again

Its so obvious its just a publicity stunt to show how good the royal marines actually are.
Puts other countrys off fighting us cause just like the ateam the royal marines can enter a barn then 43 seconds later come out wih a tank with a cabbage gun
