Replica in the Garage.

The Replica in the workshop for some minor refurbishment, ready for the Classic Car Show at the NEC Birmingham in 2009.

This car is a faithful body replica of the Rover Gas Turbine car originally built in 1949/1950 and modified to a more aerodynamic style in 1952. It held a world speed record for a gas turbine powered car in 1952 with a speed of 152.691 mph. Rover won the Dewar Trophy in 1951 for this work, in recognition of its outstanding pioneering achievement. It was the first time this trophy had been awarded since 1929.
