Just A Car Guy: 1.5-litres in sixteen cylinders and a supercharger from Merlin-engined Spitfire, resulted in 600bhp and a 12,000rpm rev limit. So hairy that even Stirling Moss and Fangio found it a handful; it’d spin its wheels in fifth gear. At 140mph.

This is really a cool car to replicate. Only problem would be that engine. Getting a body scan might be tricky as well. Little boys can still dream!
