The Packard Royal, with the engine from a PT boat! And I thought my car was hard to park...

I have seen a powerboat with a 27litre v12 engine from a Supermarine Spitfire or Lancaster bomber in it.

You have to admire the dedication to build something like that. Amazing machine! I wonder if he can even spin the wheels?

Looney, but in a good way.

I wonder how it would compare to the Meteor engined Blower Bently lookalike that featured on Top Gear?
