About Me:
I am a vintage race car enthusiast with one foot on the ground and the other one on the gas pedal. I am driving in a Prewarcar league in Sweden with my 1935 Riley TT Sprite Birdcage “Replica”. I am working in the IT-business and the prewar car restoration and competing is great way of relaxation. I have also started the largest project of my life time. I am building an replica of a land speed racer, like Napier-Railton, Brutus, Babs, etc. I am using a Isotta-Fraschini V12 Aircraft engine from 1938, 26 liter, twin cam and supercharged and 800BHP. Despite my time consuming work and hobby I am marriage since 33 years ago and I have 3 wonderful grown up children.

    Hi Glenn

    I am in love with your project :-))

    I have seen the original Napier-Railton at the Brooklands Museum in Weybrifge, Surrey England - it is indeed - a beast :-)))

    I wish you every success with your Isotta-Fraschini V12 Aircraft engine based car and look forward to seeing more photos and videos as your complete the restoration.

    Warmest regards - Stephen Page
