G-MANN ◊ 2012-06-26 02:52	Stills taken from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHp58Ss5GvM Info given in this video: Engine: Rolls-Royce Merlin 27 litre V12 (which requires 25 gallons of oil) Top speed: Approximately 180-200 mph Fuel consumption: 2 mpg Length: 19 ft/5.7 m Weight: 2.25 tons Built in the 1960s by English engineers Paul Jameson and John Dodd (who became the owner). Over the years it has had two rebuilds and once wore a Rolls-Royce grille but the company took him to court over it. He was banned from driving it, so he took it Spain. Now it is is road legal again, but the RR grille is gone. Still registered as a Rolls-Royce on the DVLA, despite the company's objections: The vehicle details for KPD 67K are: Date of Liability 01 05 2013 Date of First Registration 10 03 1972 Year of Manufacture 1972 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 27000cc Fuel Type PETROL Vehicle Status SORN Not Due Vehicle Colour BEIGE -- Last edit: 2012-06-26 03:22:23

dsl ◊ 2012-07-04 16:03	Maybe from a pair of 73+ facelift Mk1 Capris. There are other Capri bits lurking - 3rd thumb of earlier incarnation has Capri rear cabin and the lower front wing behind wheels in its "current" yellow state is a reversed Capri lower rear wing.
