Und ja, die story ist wahr... , gibt Foren und Internetseiten, die das bestätigen... Und die 256km/h waren mit einem dementsprechend konfigurierten Getriebe möglich.

Johns original car was one of the two kadett 4x4 used in the 1986 paris dakar rally (the other car still exists in private ownership) John wrote off that original car in 1989 when he crashed it backwards into a bank at lydden hill. John and gartrac built a second car from a spare shell, which is the one in this video. as you say it was later fragmented for parts.
