That's the Doan Spencer Hollywood Sports Car Tiger. Tore some ass everywhere for a few seasons.
It's still around vintage show/race. This sound will demonstrate!

Oh that’s a wonderful crackle ain’t it. Specially at the end when he revs it a wee.
I need to toss a piece of tape over the GoPro mic for the next run I film. Need to kill the wind but not the engine and exhaust tone.
I’d like to figure a way to use the drone as well for some drive bys and the like.
Maybe fiddle around next vacation with it.
I’m no film editor so it better be easy and quick or screw it.
Hehe

Well, just don't run the car and the drone simultaneously, Mike. JMO..

Had to take the grill back off to install an enameled badge, but I think it was worth the couple hours..


British bling added.

The RAC cloisonné, indicating the car is in the Royal Auto Club, believe they still have the one Prince Philip was given in 50.
St Christopher. Patron saint of travelers. Covers the ‘act of god clause’ along the road.
It says ”Behold St Christopher and go your way in safety” around the outer edge.

And this one to indicate where she was made.
All in all, fits the car, and the style.
Cheers gents, crazy storms up here tonight.

I love that RAC badge. Of course it wouldn't be worth actually joining the RAC, I doubt you could from Canada actually.

The RAC and AA are the British versions of the CAA (AAA in the US).

See I love this forum, as I thought the RAC was literally that. The cars in the Royal fleet received that banner.
Now I know, and still like the badge but won’t prove igerrent as to what the badge means.
Thanks Steve

Ahem.........
