I'll give the design and build team this, at least it's a fairly original concept.  I was getting pretty tired of the fat rear with tall skinny front choppers the custom builders were making.

Probably not even a Rolls. Continental maybe?

Like many things, if it was "better", it'd be commonplace by now. Sure, fine, cool mechanical arts concept, but there... I've spent all the mental energy on it I care to. :)

Rolls Royce produced the O-300 flat six under license from Continental in the UK, in the sixties.
