It'll go for whatever Jay Leno decides he wants to spend that week.

That would have been one scary ride doing a 100 mph sitting up higher than the rest of the car!

And Leno should be glad this car doesn't seem to have any German connection, or he'd be bidding against Jerry Seinfeld.

It has heat and air like my motorcycle, heat in the summer and air in the winter.

Hi,

This is pretty interesting. I'm looking at the numbers. This car has a 15 liter, 6 cylinder engine? That's about 915 cubic inches! That's wild!

Here's a little more related information: https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/...r-1988/69/napier-l48-modifications-1904-1908/

Thank you for your indulgence,

Not to mention catching a big June bug at speed, that would smart a bit.
