Replica in the Garage.

Detail of the Jet engine. Yes this replica really has a jet turbine engine.

Detail of the Jet engine.

Wider view of the engine compartment.The engine turns over, but there is no fuel tank under the bonnet to power it.

The interior, ready for refitting.

Grill removed for re-chroming. Interesting to see where the indicators are hidden.

Air intake grills. Note the chrome cover over the gap where the semaphore signals would have been on the donor Cyclops. The original might have been a test bed, but they did it in style.

Rear view. Chrome protection panels behind the exhaust outlets.No longer exhaust from the turbine, but from the traditional engine under the bonnet.

Work complete, ready for the show. Hub caps will go on when she gets there.
