8 wheeler Rover coupe!

This has got to be a world first. Awesome traction with 8 wheels:

It has got to be the most agile car in the world, can change direction without the need to go forward and backwards. Can even do 360 degree turns on the spot.

go on then, whats the story with that then?

I bought it for the engine, rust has set in and they aren't worth much now so i decided to break it.

Ive sold the rear suspension and front subframes so needed a way to be able to move it about still, The ultimate mod was used - McDonalds buntrays

What's the plan for your other car? What engine mods are you going to be running this time?

look forward to progress

I swapped the engine a few months ago. Coupe has been sat in garage ever since, weather has been Ok today so I got chance to strip it and get the bits off I wanted to sell. The shell can go this week, just rolled it back into the garage for the night.

Engine from this coupe is a 2045cc, Forged JE pistons and Arrow H section rods.

You've got to love Tahiti blue in the sunlight, has a very nice pearlescent flip

Tbh, I'd scrap the car and go to a car park with the bun wheels and a mate. rate good fun

Lol, reminds me of when we went on 'bum boards' when snowboarding. Nothing like being completely out of control going about 30mph down a hill past other skiers
