I'll bet that guy's face hurts from smiling so much. That's really cool. Thanks for posting.

 

I just went back through the 22 pages to see if this had been posted yet.
No pain in that, its just great stuff, all of it.

So BTTT A DeHavilland aero-engined racer.

from the 2009 "Speed on Tweed" sprints at Murwillumbah, NSW, Aust.

 

There's a 1930s Hispano Suiza V12 currently available on Ebay.co.uk -



Search for "hispano V12".
You'd need a pretty big vintage chassis to drop this into, Bentley or RR i imagine.
Somebody's gotta do it...

 

Just spotted this great thread. Thought you might like some pictures of my aero engined car. It's the Royce-Hispano, a 1922 H3 Hispano 18.5 litre in a 1929 20/25 chassis. The car is road legal and drives really well now it is fully sorted.

Amazing car. Gary

 

Anyone have anymore pictures of this one???

 

Paul ,very nice, I bet it is a thrill to drive. Great lines and stance-Jim

 

Didn't some 6 cly Ranger aircolled engines find their way into some open wheeled cars after wwII?

 

It's probably somewhere in the thread .. but my buddy has this one...

 

Hisso22,

Love your car! Great lines, imagine seeing it in 1922 as it roared past everthing.

 

Wish I could remember what old magazine I saw that Hisso-engined beauty in. It was family built and owned, right?

 

Welcome and please more pics.

 

Nope.. my friend bought a few years ago, but even then I don't think it was family owned.. The cut down Hisso was actually out of a Sprint car from the 30's if I remember correctly.. What amazing machine work on that mill !
