I'm pretty sure that's the engine a mate put in his P4. Then he got fed up with poor performance and stuck the original petrol straight six back in

Carr Gate Custom Show
Circa 1981/1982
They've copied reasonably well, to consider that they're (3" x 3") prints taken with a 110 camera, simply photographed themselves via my iPhone
There’s a Range Rover bonnet/wings on this 109”
Known as ’Transformation’ (from memory)
The location is adjacent to jct41/M1, as approached via ‘Wrenthorpe Bypass’/A650 from Wakefield
Look at the OS map, West Yorkshire Police Traffic/Dogs/Horses/Helicopter are nearby
(as is their ‘riot training centre’)
Note the ‘H’

The Police HQ at Carr Gate was built on the site of the TB Sanitorium, or Carr Gate Fever Hospital

I caught a Jay Leno shortie earlier, where he was driving a Cerbera 4.2, & eulogising over it
They're still drop-dead gorgeous(although, I'd still love a Griffith 500)

This is the garage that supplied it for the film; https://tvrgarage.com/

My favourite tvr by far!
The craziest one made I think!
That and the xj220 were my favourite cars of the 1990's

I’ve driven a Sagaris, at Bruntingthorpe, that’s a crazy machine
Then had a passenger ride in it, at 180MPH+, along the runway

I'll wager that the local custom car favourite, a Hilman Hunter with space-themed airbrush artwork on its bonnet and named 'Space Hunter' was there.

Sorry, can't find any of said vehicle

West Street Car-Park
(Market Street side, as it’s divided by a large building)
Normanton
Wakefield
I was in the ‘free Corsa’, which seems huge in comparison

Rather nice mid 60s Ducati off-road motorcycle; quite a different thing from their usual v twin sports bikes

It might be a Desmo by the looks of the finned tappet covers.

There used to be just the brown/silver van there

At the very least, it looks like a shaft drive to an overhead camshaft
