[Tommygunfreak]

The ultimate racecar! This beauty is a monster! With almost 231 km/h it was the fastest car back then. I love it!

[judaxxxx]

Incredible.

The "real" James Bond car.

Thank for posting.

Is it possible to describe this as anything other than "simply glorious"? I think this should be the next style for hot rods, the massive pre-war race rods. I want to find a Liberty V-12 to throw in a 20 foot chassis, myself...

Hahaha, that's not how one viewer responded to pictures of this on Flickr, apparently its a replica... I still love it though, along with the Auburn 852 Boat-tail Speedster and several other of those ridiculously but gorgeously proportioned dream machines...

[burghill1979]

that's not a 4/2 engine the engine should be 4 cylinders

[4cheaters4]

i think thats a 3 litre engine

[StormPetrol]

They have Straight Eights, don't they

[TheFuzzedOUT]

@burghill1979 That or something like a Le Mans Eight by Racing Green Engineering (Mk VI special), either way a lovely job.

[morphyon]

[thekiwicanuck]

LOL! I only call them "Types" because you do! Didn't you get that off the NZ Fire Service website? I meant the new ALP, as you'd call them...

[scally1288]

[scally1288]

[thekiwicanuck]

Thx. Haven't seen any Type 4s around, but I'm looking out for the new Type 5, Parnell 255, which has just entered service. Hope to post a clip of it soon...
