Glad you enjoyed it! Just watched your Plymouth comparison, amazing cars, but not sure the fins are large enough compared to the Lotus😂 the 60 Plymouth was and still is one of my dream cars. All the best from me and Windy Indy.

The inspiration for the Mach 5 of Speed Racer.

Thanks for sharing this. This car seems to come straight out of a cartoon. Maybe a short youtube clip of this footage would help bring attention to this video

Ian Chapman! I guess you meant Colin. Chapman was not a fan of the Bristol engine, which started life as a pre war BMW unit. It was heavier than the Climax 2.0L FPF, which affected the handling. Power output was similar, depending on the level of tune. Haute Savoie 74 registration.

Argh how I mix names! Of course Colin! Thanks for pointing it out ✌️👍

GOTA SHOP THOSE DOLPHIN TAILS RIGHT OFF AND FINISH THE DESIGN

Yes but then you will loose interstellar flight performance😂

The story I've heard is that Frank Costin was an aircraft designer and wanted it stable drifting, hence fins on the back like an aircraft. Over time he learned the driver could cope with something less stable aerodynamically.
