Aston Vulcan road car kit!
RML will make your Vulcan road legal if desired (plus Aston has made another video of it)
Anyway, a sufficient number of Vulcan owners have expressed interest in using their cars on the public highway that Aston has announced a collaboration with RML to make them road legal. The conversion process will be carried out entirely by RML, and will take three months.
Obviously it will need the usual road accoutrements - we can't see any indicators here for example - but there will be other tweaks too. These include "checking the emissions of the engine" and crash test simulation, plus a focus on making the cars more usable with different gear ratios and ride height. Because what's the point in a hugely expensive supercar if you can't cruise around at low speed?
According to Autocar, RML will also accommodate "any other bespoke changes requested by the customer." Place your bets as to just how silly those will be...
Andy Palmer has said there was "hesitation" from a few prospective Vulcan customers when it was announced without a road pack; this RML conversion is expected to be taken up by four or five owners. Lucky people!
As for a price, given the work takes three months on a £1.8m car it will surely be many, many thousands. Still, imagine going for a pint of milk - or any other track car for the road cliche you can think of - in an Aston Vulcan...
