00:19Red Victor 3 carries a 3,000 horse power V8 engine that can propel it from 0-60 in under
00:25yet you can still see owner Andy Frost taking it out for a spin around the streets of Wolverhampton.
00:34Andy has dedicated his life to the project, spending thousands converting a humble Vauxhall
00:39Victor into the speed demon you see today.
00:44So Andy's got everything invested in this, time, you know this is a 30 year project for

00:53he bought as a VX490 way back whenever. So this is an evolution of that sort of let's
00:59say dream and so he's got every single thing in his life for 30 years invested in what's
01:05sitting right behind me.
01:07But Andy's efforts were once again paid back when at the Santa Pod Raceway in Bedfordshire
01:12the 53 year old broke his own speed record by covering a quarter of a mile in just 6.4

01:25even faster.
01:28And with investors already backing him financially, next year Red Victor will surely be back to
01:33claim its crown.
