As far as I can tell just the front grill is off the original car.

I don't get it.

It's a road legal 3000bhp car that can do a 1/4 mile in under 7 seconds. This is a forum for people who like that sort of thing. That's all there is to it really.

Put some big Union Jacks (Flags?) on it and show the world who's the Daddy...!

How do you get insurance on such a car, anyway?

Its Union Flags. It only becomes a Union Jack when its flying on the mast of a ship!

[P4ROT]

Great stuff!! Time for the world record now lads!

[madmax666]

How do you retain the licence plate number from the original car when practically nothing remains of the original car? I thought this type of build would get a new registration if it's built from new parts or a Q plate if built from multiple used parts?
And how can the registration be different on the video to the photo's?

[laracer]

Very, very, well done Andy

[pSyCoSiS]

This is amazing stuff.

Out of interest, do you ever actually take it for a "normal drive"? On standard UK roads?

[Mini1275]

Top work Andy and the crew .

AVX490K is a "private" plate.. Seeing as the car is A VX4/90 FD Victor..

No, but the tyres can be changed to road legal treaded tyres.
It's no different to fitting track tyres on a road car.

No one has said that RV3 can perform to this level on road legal tyres.
