What do you do when an 8-litre Bentley or Grand Prix Bugatti isn’t enough? If you are Clive and Bruce Woolley, you build a 27-litre tank-engined Monster in the spirit of an early 1900s land speed or Brooklands racer and call it ‘Lucy’.

That’s correct: 27-litre or 1647 cubic inches. If that number doesn’t jump at you, then try 12 cylinders, 24 spark plugs, 1850kg and whopping 1550Nm of torque. Top speed with current ratios is 160km/h and it’ll get there in a flash of exhaust flames and smoking rubber.

Did you know 294 1300cc Gordinis were assembled and sold in South Africa? And the performance saloon etched itself in local motorsport history during the 1969 Kyalami 9-Hour when the Scamp Porter/Geoff Mortimer passed a Porsche 917 down the main straight and clinched the first saloon car home and 4th overall honours. Yip it was influenced by a Highveld thunderstorm...but hey, it's in the records now.
