25.4 liter V8, probably about 500lb-ft of torque, cone clutch, bicycle tires, priceless one-of-a-kind artifact, millions spent on restoration... getting sideways in the rain. LOVE IT!

[@NickThePilotUSA]

i read it has more like 1000 lb ft and 300 hp...jeez lol

[@Garrett_Thompson]

***** 200bhp

Great to see this car being driven instead of sitting in a museum collecting dust. What a ride that car must be!

[@justforever96]

+Eric W I don't mind seeing it driven, but I'd rather they built a replica to do their racing in. Whenever someone crashes one of these old cars, it's ruining a piece of history. I'd rather see it covered with dust and cobwebs in a museum than as a crumpled pile of scrap because some rich guy thought it'd be fun to play at being an old-time race car driver.

[@Redstoneprime316]

justforever96 wasn't this car built for racing?

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

@@justforever96 Look at all the historic vehicles that have been lost to fire when the building they are stored in burns down. Lifes a gamble and nothing is safe. Cars need to be used and enjoyed. There is nothing manmade that cannot be remade or repaired. If you read into the history of the 1905 Darracq most of the car had to be rebuilt from scratch during the restoration, which is fairly common practice on most vintage racers that were constantly changed, wrecked, rebuilt, parted out, or scrapped over the last century.

I would drive that car In a heartbeat and savor every minute

[@ostlandr]

My Granddad (born 1905) would have loved to have seen that- and would have wanted to drive it.

[@alessiocapitani9943]

Stunning Georgeus Car! The Gran Mother of Alfa Romeo....

[@NJPurling]

The multi-plate clutch we all know hadn't been invented when this special car was created. I believe the car has a cone clutch which 'bites' rather suddenly & 200hp hits two skinny tyres - in the rain. No wonder the bugger shakes it's arse about.

[@StanleyKubick1]

*its

[@Squarerig]

What a delight!I wonder how many people-brakes only on the two rear wheels and very dicy steering-have been pulped by this fuel-guzzling monster?

[@prendergast446]

what a beauty...

[@artisancans3954]

Good to see the driver was wearing a helmet to keep him nice and safe. Ha!

[@williamfotta7899]

Were there any survivors?

[@prendergast446]

das ist wundebar mein herren!

[@ryotaryuu]

looks like it has some torque.

[@JohnSmith-pd1fz]

Grrreat!

[@justforever96]

Where is the transmission? Is it direct-drive? The clutch must be under the drivers seat, because you can see the driveshaft spinning while it's idling. There would have to be a clutch behind it or that wouldn't be possible. And there's no room for a transmission, either fore or aft!

[@Patchuchan]

Looks dangerous and fuck but some warped part of me wants to drive that thing.

[@denmalski]

no front brakes...nice

[@justforever96]

Morgan Three-wheeler at 2:05.

[@charlescrisp2814]

I know the owner.He is such a lovely chap

[@JimAirPlanespotting]

Do you need a Driver License to drive this???

[@ExiledPiasa]

how'd it do?

[@Goggleyed]

Just think of the massive amounts of brass required for the balls needed to pilot that motorcar.

[@patcholi3201]

+Mark Rogers careful with exposed drive shaft

[@chriscraft77022]

nice video to blow your 1000 watt home speakers out...

That was a BIIIIG hill....

[@Baumflieger]

25400 V8. Hubraum ist durch nichts zu ersetzen ausser durch noch mehr Hubraum :)))

[@differentname8051]

Wow, no front brakes . That looks incredibly dangerous to drive in the wet.

[@squarerigtwo2057]

+wayne murphy Especially for inattentive pedestrians!

[@geoffmaltby7267]

wayne murphy the driver knows what he’s doing

[@metaxa715]

Thank God for ROPS

[@HeavensGremlin]

....what's with the elbows.....? :-P

[@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002]

The other seat isn’t for a passenger, it’s to hold the massive nuts of anybody psychotic enough to get behind the wheel

[@tooge47]

where's the HILL?

[@984francis]

Google Prescott.... Hang on that sounds like the name of an english village, do a search for Prescott.

This car also appears in the film we made at VSCC's 2015 hill climb at Loton Park - it's a beast! Watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/t04qh65skls/v-deo.html

[@MojRetroGaraz]

Thank you, very nice film.

[@4mulas]

the dead machine

[@snakeplisskenrecords]

That safety car Octavia ruins the view:))

[@davesmith7706]

Stop the silly music Couldn't keep watching.

[@TheMr1997Jeep]

[@breakawaymotorsports]

Don't think I'd stand in front of it being revved...with no driver..

[@MatthewTinker-au-pont-blanc]

What annoying music!

[@justtim9767]

POS.
