    Can anyone advise who actually built / fabricated this wonderful belly tanker ? Possibly UK built ? Cant find much info on it other than its parent company making high-end watches.

    Thanks for any leads.

    Pretty sure it's just concept art not a real car. They try to tie made up concepts vehicles into their watches.

    I looked around on the web and found a post that stated that the Bell & Ross Bellytanker was not a real car.

    Thanks for the comments everyone it’s one hell of a concept car if not the real thing !!! I was chasing a lead that it was possibly built in the UK, but I have reached out to the bell and Ross company on numerous occasions and I’ve never gotten a reply. And none of my hot rod buddies in the UK have ever seen it so some of this might make sense Thanks

    Confirmed by Bell & Ross it was only a computerized sketch but quite the vision by someone more talented than me.

    The heads were by Joe Davies, DOHC with only four pair ever produced. I don’t know if any ever actually ran in compe***ion.
