Parabolics, full-time 4WD with Santana parts keeping the original width of the axle, Engine options are 4.6l (or more) Rover V8 or any V12, e.g. the Rolls Royce Merlin - limited only by your budget.

The point being, why not?

I like it.  I won't be buying one, with fuel prices as they are, but if one tootles past me with a V12, it'll certainly put a smile on my face.

Not really loads of joints though, look up Ackerman steering system

Not so much brmm brmmm as BRMMM BRMMM!!! Scary!!!!

Agree about the silly yankified Thunderbird car- I mean, it's a FORD. Can you believe it. Everything else in the film on the other hand was completetely credible, though I'd still like to see Ben Kingsley play The Hood as the East End gangster from Sexy Beast rather than a sort of 'Bad Ghandi'.

Love it!

It looks best from the English homepage in the Sand colour - looks the beastly sort of thing that belongs with Indiana Jones driving it.

 Not sure why you would build, But it does look cool in a oldie worldy roadster way.
 When I saw V12 I thought Jag V12 (5.3 or 6l) but hey 27l Rolls Royce Merlin in a series. Now thats what I call scary.
