Jonny interviews Charlie -- the owner of the amazing 27 litre Rover SD1 that we saw hitting over 160 mph in this week's episode. In this video, Charlie gives us the story behind his incredible home-made car that has the same engine as a World War II Spitfire plane.

  • If this car and a Veyron were two people racing on foot, they would both travel at huge speeds. Yet the Veyron would be sweating and panting, and this humble little Rover would be gliding along non-chalantly in bunny slippers and a mug of tea its hand, wearing a perplexed look on its face as if to not understand that it is in fact in a race.
