And as they go through the SVA test and DVLC registration process I take it they are legal

There's a Clio that races in Ireland, I've seen it.
Has two Blackbird engines side by side in the back. Fucking quick in a straight line........
Sounds weird too

Welcome to Dubsport,
One of the UK's leading Volkswagen specialists, and creators of some of the wildest Golfs in the WORLD!
Ian Birch, owner of Dubsport, pioneered the use of * two engines in a road car * when he debued his Golf Rallye in 1997, it featured not only * a VR6 engine in the front, but another VR6 in the back! * With a combined 364bhp and four wheel drive, it won the quarter mile at virtualy every show it attended, * and being fully road legal, * was driven to and from them all as well! Several more mental projects have followed, each more extreme than the last.

I remember that Scirrocco coming into service at Elsmere Port (Vauxhall Plant) back in '89. As Kim went to pull forward into the control, he stalled one of the engines. He restarted No. 2 engine and pulled forward. Didn't 'arf sound weird!
RAC outlawed the car fairly soon afterwards if I remember correctly? Tony?

Bernie, You have a good memory. It did get banned from competition yes, only because it was winning everything 
Kim still has it and it lives a mere 5 miles from me. Was last used a few years ago during a demonstration run on a local event. It is still legal and is still painted in the United Footwear livery
