00:26Yet 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 Victor into the speed demon you see today.
00:45So Andy's got everything invested in this, time, you know this is a 30 year project for him because realistically this started with Red Victor 1.
00:53The original Red Victor that he bought as a VX490 way back whenever.
00:58So this is an evolution of that sort of let's say dream and so he's got every single thing in his life for 30 years invested in what's sitting right behind me.
