SUMMARY
Thundering V8 power “enhanced” by a Full Thrust Helicopter Jet Engine.
DESCRIPTION
- Built by the inventive showman, Paul Bailey, and undoubtedly 'one of one'.
- Unrepeatable as the law has changed but Colossus remains fully UK road-legal
- Powered by a Rover V8 at the front, and with a 1,000shp Rolls-Royce Gem from a Lynx helicopter hanging out the back, Colossus is capable of a theoretical 200mph
- Magazine and TV featured many times including Top Gear. Raised huge amounts of money for charity
- Capable of throwing huge flames 3-feet out of the back, this really is a showstopper and is always quickly surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd (obviously not right behind it!)
- Don't mention economy - 5 gallons a minute with the afterburner lit
- 22-inch alloys, huge tyres, lights, indicators, a tax disc holder and a very, very long fork for your Marshmallows
