Been to the Bradford Classic today, saw lots of cool cars, all overshadowed (in my view) by the 3 static RR Merlins/Griffons.
Real engines
When they started all 3, it was magic, I could more feel it than hear it. Truly splendiferous
Oh yeah, there were some cars there too
Nice engine!
Same one as in Charlies Rover SDI PPC??

I bet if you started them they wouldn't be static for very long.
Arn't they using the tank meteor engine (non supercharged spitfire engine) in a car in Practical Performance Car magazine?

I know a guy that had 2 of those in a tractor!!!(not a Harley) ran it on methanol with water injection.
something like this?
I have a couple of clips of said engines.
They are 3gp files (Quicktime)
Clip1
Clip2
Real engines as in they leak oil. Some lurverly rainbows on the tarmac
Bet you could hear them the other side of Bradford.
Might make a rather big locost
Tank-engined Bentley
Very nice, but would much rather see them working in the front of a Hurricane or Spitfire!
