I know it's not a new story but I've only just discovered the (100 odd page) build thread of the latest incarnation of RV3.
To say that this man built "The worlds fastest, street legal car" is an achievement, when you discover he did it in a lock up virtually in his spare time, then that is awe inspiring...

Andy got hold of Red Victor in 1982, when it was simply a 1972 Vauxhall Victor VX4/90 (it wouldn't officially become 'Red Victor' until the early 1990s) that he got in a swap for his Mk2 Ford Cortina.

And here is a link to the build of the car that will hopefully regain his crown...

I've only gotten to page 10 upto yet but I read through those in one short sitting!


Figured this would be better placed here rather than in 'Car Chat' as I guess Red Victor is more a part of the builders life than just a car.
