anything big enough to take it i guess.

thought i doubt it would last long if run at 700+bhp.

wish i could win euromillions, so i could buy stuff like this.

It's also just an ornament, albeit a very cool one, without a clutch and gearbox.

You can buy a back of the grid F1 car from the late 1990's now for under £100k, so I'd say that where this will be going.

On the other hand, you can buy an engine built to the same spec as the Brabham-BMW Turbo engines from the mid 80's, the 1.5L 1500bhp ones, for £17k.

That's not that much of a bargain.

If I remember correctly my cousin bought his two 3.0 V10 Arrows engines for £40k.

I'll look for it once I've my school work done, but here a link to an Asiatech engine (Alain Prost used these when he ran his own team) for less than £30k.

That "rebuilt 27 years ago turbocharged engine" is a whole different kettle of fish.

My Cousin actually has one of the mid 80's RAM F1 cars with the turbocharged Hart engine. It hasn't been touched in years though and would no doubt be a bit of a project.

To be honest, that's all I know about it.
It was bought in an auction many moons ago with the intention of using it for hillclimbs (i think), used a couple of times, but the lag, then the boost was incredible and not exactly suitable for hillclimbing.

No idea i'm afraid.

He's got footage of of it being used in a Grand Prix though. That's pretty cool.
