Richard,
That is the Hispano Suiza/Wolseley Viper 18L engined car isn't it. I love these aero engined vintage cars. A friend of mine has built an RR Phantom II with a Meteor 27L V12 engine and had Rob Jolley make a body similar to the Napier Railton for it. The only thing I don't like is that he has used a GM400 auto box with it , after a step up intermediate box. It would have been better IMHO, if he had used an old non-synchro truck gearbox or even a W.O.Bentley D box (the 8L one).

Wilson,
It's got a lot of information on the car on the GN link under the photo.
These aero engined cars are very special I can't imagine the sensation of driving one but it must be damn scary, my heart is in my mouth watching these guys racing them at Goodwood they must have nerves of steel.
The Napier Railton is an amazing machine to see feel and hear, does your friend ever show and or race his Meteor engined one? It sounds a sensational machine and the world needs more of these show stopping machines before it's too late.
