This is going back years ago Rotorworx had a VL that was going to cop a 20b makeover.
However once the ball started rolling it proved to be an expensive exercise and the car didn't get finished.
The shell was sold as a roller and the engine transplanted in an 808 i think.
It has the custom mounts and so on made with the engine ready to be fitted but were advised against it, something to do with not being able to put the power to the ground and the positioning of the engine or some crap.
In theory a good idea for a conversion, in reality not so great.
Any idea how fast the car above has gone? HDT13B

Correct....there was a Yellow VL at Rotorworx years ago.
The motor was actually fitted to the car last time I saw it....no idea what ended up happening to the car though.
