I have seen pics of the one that was at York
but he destroyed his clutch and couldn't run

It was jacked up at the back with huge drag tyres.
If the engine is anything like the body looks - it will be mega
I am sure he will have it running again there soon

Will try get hold of the pic to post on here Graham

Cheers
Rich

Indeed.

The incredible scream of his RV8 was produced by an 8 into one collector!

The video does not do the sound of this car justice.
