The R-R Merlin in a land vehicle has been done on a number of occasions.
The best results are with the low powered 950hp model if in a car.
A R-R Griffin has been put in a truck (18 wheel tractor unit)...If the Good LORD was going to do a burn-out that is how HE would do it.
Some German Pilot put the ME109 Inv V engine in a Car, Twas most impressive in a straight line. Cornering proved problematic.
Other than that our parliament appears to be taking advice from DJT about how to manage the current inconvenience.
While searching the paper's classified ads came across an 8 year old
1958 Jaguar XK-150 Roadster...well now, clearly I had set my sights too low as an XK-150 Coup has been on the top of my dream list since a colleague of my dad had a glorious red one in which I was privileged to park my fevered body on several occasions.
With that memory in mind I immediately placed the call to the owner, a USN Commander just returned from Europe. The jewel was available for a mere $800, less than I had saved. And thus began my relationship of love and despair with beauty and power and the deceitful Lucas electrics and the lackluster Coventry supply chain.
Ended up with a spare transmission with the same electric Laycock de Normanville overdrive as I had...sadly I had to pass on a D Jag engine as too expensive...should have borrowed the money. Ahhh....first loves.
