There was a bloke in GB who had a Mosquito Merlin in his car.
The car was a completely new design with a huge front end, and he called it a Rolls Royce.
However, RR took him to court because they didn't want anyone else using their name on something that they hadn't designed.
I remember seeing it on the news....must be about fifteen years ago....and he didn't half burn up some rubber when he left the court in it...........never heard anything like it.......Magnificent !
I wonder if any Germans have ever stuck a DB in a car ?
