Well, it is either some sort of attempt at a Sonic Shower for Le Mans, or an "Electrocute the theiving buggers" type of South African car alarm  But I will see what I can find.  Oh bugger, I was closer than I realised with my joke  It is a Tessla coil, attached to the roof to act as an anti theft device. He called it "The Eye of Sauron" And the car is a hire car, but I still don't know what it is  The guys site is here.. http://tesladownunder.com/tesla_coil_sparks.htm |

Correct car for 1 point and correct about Mr Tesla - worth reading about him, his inventions and what he as been credit with after his death. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nRqbQr7VGk&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftesladownunder.com%2Ftesla_coil_sparks.htm&feature=player_embeddedBest one was the box under the the table in his hotel room, Hotel New Yorker, room 3327 - where he said he had a tool to destroy the world. A lot of his stuff wnet missing after his death and things where never found. Reminds me af the Ark crate in the first Indiana Jones film.  -"We have our top men working on it - Mr Jones" Oh I like to dream So back shortly with the black ball. |

  Crikey, that took some digging, but I think it is a 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe with coachwork by Jonckheere. Originally delivered to its owner wearing a more humble Hooper Cabriolet body in 1925, it was sold to the Raja of Nanpara soon after. It changed hands again but stayed in England until 1934, when another owner sent it to Belgium to be re-bodied by Carrossier Jonckheere. It is often called the "Round Door" Rolls.

1935 Monaco-Trossi GP car.
It never raced but would have made a heck of a noise if it ever did.
The handling was a bit suspect due to the poor weight distribution, but it was clocked at 150mph at Monza

NO - COMPLETELY WRONG..................................................................................................  oh OK - your right - hoped I would get a bit longer on it. How did you find it - did you type in Radial Engine car on Mr Google? So on to the next one - what colour do you require, may have to go down deeper into the cellar, the darker end. |
