That's a red rag...........

Not really. It's a race car, and has been for over 40 years. As soon as it became a race car, it was never going to be road legal again.

Yes I regret selling a few of the past cars I have had, now worth quite a bit of dosh! but not as bad as one of my uncles, had a roller on his front lawn for a while but got sick of it sitting there so gas axed it up and another time had a Stutz Bearcat sitting out back that he just left till it rotted into the ground!

You don’t see many Stutz Bearcat
Only worth nearly half a million
I can remember having to beg the scrap man to take cars away there was no value in the metal back then
The good old days

I had to google 808 to see what the fuss was about. Now how the %^&* did they get it down to 950kg?

They chopped away sections of the base unit that weren't needed. The panels are ally, glass removed, interior removed. It's doable, and it is a work of art.

I'd like to see Rob get 806 running, in one form or another. Might have to reach out, and see what the progress is..
